Right just back today so it's pics time !!!!!

This was my ride for the week.. And photo from the the sunday morning after collecting the cars the previous afternoon and a rainy drive down through the Redwoods, hences the muddy arches. Roof still up, but for the last time !
Image


First stop point at Laguna Seca, just before our ride round the track
Image


Only 15,00 miles and probably barely a few moths old.. Nice drive, basic auto hire spec, but still with a few design issues..IMO
Image


Laguna Seca (or rather.. Mazda Raceway now)
Image


Passenger ride round the track
Image


Quick stop after a brisk hillside blat
Image


The Pacific from Highway 1 coast road
Image


After a blast round Mullholland Drive dropping towards Beverley Hills

One of the at least daily fuel stops. It cost about $70 to fully brim the tank (about £45)
Image


Corvettes all around
Image


Calico - old western silver mining town
Image


Heading into the desert, and Nevada
Image


Dead straight road for miles, with weird dips that gave a nice roller coaster sensation
Image


Hoover Dam
Image


We parked up on the Arizona side for some good pics of Lake Mead that feeds the dam.
Image


Driving into Las vegas
Image


Viva Las Vegas
Image


My humble B&B for a couple of nights
Image


Heading into Death Valley we stopped at the amazing viewpoint.
Image


Artists Drive. 9 miles of one-way curvyness
Image


heading into a dust storm across the bottom of Death Valley. It was like bad fog with less than 20 feet visibilty but through it in a few seconds.
Image


Approaching the Sierra Nevada mountains, some snowcapped.
Image


Crazy cloud coming of the mountains
Image


Building up my insect collection
Image


Lame Mono on the way into Yosemite National Park. Natural Salt Lake with lime Stalagmites

Another scenic mountainside stop...
Image


Brilliant Ebbets pass through Yosemite
Image


View after driving up the Conzelman road opposite San Francisco

Driving over Golden Gate Bridge, and the end of the tour.

A brilliant week, and topped by a very fun 3 days in San Francisco..

Some great pics, thanks for posting.
Would like to do an extended road trip myself some time...money being the limiting factor.
I did drive from San Diego to 'frisco back in the day...the Pacific coast road around Big Sur is a really good scenic route and quite challenging especially at night when you are not familiar with the curves :twisted:

Found one of the first videos, this is Artist Drive in Death Valley, easy to miss 9 mile long one-way road through the edge of the valley... I was behind the car filming, and this doesn't give the real 'feel' of it. You can tell we weren't hanging around by the fact it's less than a 7.44 minute video on a twisty road with about 8 miles filmed.

Fun starts at around 1.15
