The official Thanksgiving Day drive thread

[Zeke]

Let's hear the suggestions.

[DRACO A5OG]

Same Route for me. I wantto check out my Corner Balance and New Suspension. Selfish I know

WHAT TIME & WHERE TO MEET, Foothill?

[lfot]

Same with a couple different roads is my vote. There are a couple roads we took up there a few months ago that I'd have to ask Dave about. I don't remember the names or how to get to them.

[gshiwota]

Just tell me where we're meeting and I'll be there. I've got two other guys itching to go too.

Ortega Hwy is now clear in Orange County and is a nice ride...

The roads we took on the LA Concours run last time. Fun.

Well, I'm going to drive to Andersonville Military Cemetery http://www.nps.gov/ande/historyculture/places.htm to visit a friend who left us the day before Thanksgiving in 2006



And maybe the Turkey Rod Run that weekend.

I suggest we meet again at 7 AM for the early birds and roll of promptly at 8 with maps and a short talk at 7:45. 2 or so hours with a stop or 2 should have everyone heading homeward by 10. That seems to be a comfortable time to make the family festivities and a good time frame for hitting the curves before the transit traffic builds up for the day. I remember that by noon the freeways, etc. were getting rather busy.

So, if I had my way I'd leave any stragglers behind that don't make it in to the lot by 8. Lets try to post at least the 1st part of the tour here online so they might catch up (unlikely until the 1st stop ).

ok- here goes from memory
1) Right out of shopping center/ Starbucks onto Foothill
2) Right onto hwy 2 and follow up hill- Caution speed limit posted is enforced by radar (bring your V-1's)
3) Continue past Angeles FOREST highway stop sign on Angeles Crest
4) Follow Angeles Crest to Upper Big Tujunga (on your left about 7-8 miles after the stop sign- semi blind crest- CAREFUL !
5) Follow Big Tujunga to stop sign- Angeles FOREST.
6) Turn right on Angeles Forest and continue to looooong straightaway. Parking area on your right where we will make our first stop

Yep, that's phase 1 and sounds good.
Here is a pic of that 1st stop if you can see past Tyson Schmidt.

Bummed to miss this year's edition - we've run for the past few years and enjoyed every one. We'll be just landing in Dresden for a visit to the fatherland when you're heading out, so I suppose that's some consolation.

Have a great time. We'll be sure to catch up for the New Year's edition.

[Drew001]

For those who weren't there, I believe that this is the route we took last year.
