Cool Mines Rd. VERY FUN Run!

Chris (cantdrv55), Rick (Zoanas), and I took a nice drive on Mines Rd. today in Livermore. It was really hot (must have been at least 95) but overall, there were some great twisties and beautiful scenery. These are some photos of the bar we stopped at up about ~30 miles on Mines Rd.









Rick, your valance looks awesome!
Thanks!

Thanks Matt, had a great time. I'll remember to eat something before I head out into the heat next time. I'm still a little dizzy. Chris, good to see you again.

Zoanas, We are Neighbors, I hope to hook up with you guys for a run or two in the future, Mines rd is a blast, not a good place to go alone but fun all the same. Have you taken it to I-5??
more of a point and shoot kind of road

Very cool, this BAP thing is growing. Von, I'm in Springtown, where you at? Vash, I'm glad my avatar is providing a public service.

Let's do something before I go to Oklahoma on the 7th.


edit to make a wish for 1111th post.

Yeah, let's do something again Labor Day weekend. Maybe we can go another route (Mt. Hamilton possibly) on Mines Rd?
