I haven't taken the black car out for a good thrashing in a while and I've heard so many good things about the road to Mt. Palomar Observatory, home of the 200 inch reflector telescope that was the biggest in the world from 1948 to 1976.

Great drive. Once I got on the mountain I had the road all to myself - literally. What an awesome road! Lots of 2nd gear 180 degree switchbacks linked by short straights.

It rained near the top but only lightly. The roads were steaming however from what obviously had been harder rain before I got there.
