the blue section up crystal lake is nicely paved btw. higher speed and shorter drive.

the bridge crossing to GMR above the dam is probably the only good location for photo.
so any news on the car? did they fix your problem?

haa haa...

too far from San Diego for just a Canyon Run... besides there's plenty of canyon roads down here and my Coupey is better suited for the twisties.

So where are we meeting at and when? Also, who's going? Don't flake out at the last minute. Hwy 142 still seems like a nicer cruise for a photoshoot to me. Traffic is only bad during the weekdays during morning and late afternoon rush hour. Sounds like GMR and the other canyon runs are for people looking for a challenging course.
