4th of July Drive...

More about this drive: 115 Mi, 3hrs 32 minutes. Lots of cool areas to see. Including: 49, 193, Georgetown, Rock Creek Road, Mosquito Road (switchbacks and one lane bridge), Placerville, Cedar Ravine Road (TOTALLY COOL), and back to Folsom via Salmon Falls to Green Valley.

Not the shortest drive, but lots of squiggly lines and technical driving.

Update: these pictures were captured in the cool canyon where American River meets Mosquito Road: it's a neat gulch and if you're in the area, worth see and hearing.

Stay tuned: Returning on Wednesday - More videos and photos coming shortly. Tahoe is just looking incredible this year - still plenty of snow on the mountains, and a perfect 78 degrees or less in the full sun. We're having a great vacation up there.

CHASED BY TWO CHOPPERS on HWY 89!

At 1:35 you hear the chase motorcycle scraping it's hull on the road to keep up (that's not my car making that noise) - too bad I didn't have a chase cam setup, on the first switchback at 2:48 you hear the chopper noise behind. at 7:56 I finally have a chance to get by the Subaru and let the two choppers by. Then it's 5 minutes of fun till they quit a couple miles ahead.

Good sounds, sights. 3 camera angles add to the fun.
