Short trip to Paso Robles

[Apex]

Went on a short trip with a friend (in his turbocharged Elise) from LA to Paso Robles. Might head up to Monterey. Lots of great roads, windy and little traffic.

I'd forgotten how much fun just getting out and driving was.

A couple picts:

Who has the Noble?

I'm pretty sure that is Apex who has it, he has posted about it before.

Any nice roads in or around Paso Robles? Heading there next month for some wine tasting.

Hey I live in Monterey! It would be awesome to see a Noble in person, let me know if you do come up here.

gah two beauty cars.

Would be awesome just to witness you two cruising around together.

At Linne Calodo Winery in Paso:

Driving through Ford Hunter Liggett Army Reserve Training Base (open to public):

On Nacimiento-Fergusson Road, connecting Fort Hunter Liggett to Highway 1. It's a 25 mile road that's SUPER narrow and really windy. It climbs in elevation for half of it, then back down. The drawback is there are some blind curves (gotta honk to let people know you're coming), some small rocks and dirt, and some patches of bumpy road. Overall, it's well maintained though.

Then, finally down to Highway 1, and back south:

Thanks guys, it was lots of fun. Definitely need to get away and drive more often. Next time, perhaps need to replace those DOT-R's. Kinda funny, 6k miles and 3rd set of tires.
