Rain has stopped
« on: March 13, 2017, 17:07:55 »
We have had a really wet winter here in northern California with well over 50” of rain in our backyard gauge so far this season which has thankfully broken the severe drought that the state has been in for the past several years. As such, there hasn’t been too many days that we could get our car out on the road. Well, this weekend there was not a cloud in sky and temperatures were in the upper 70’s so the car cover came off and top put down and we were off for a nice drive that lasted nearly 2 hours in the hills surrounding our home. car ran great as usual and was happy to get some exercise. Driver and navigator were kids again. These pictures were taken a couple of miles from home.
