Sunday Drive
« on: July 07, 2013, 21:20:00 »
 After being cooped up in the garage for the last few weeks due to unseasonable cold weather and rain followed by 8 days of 100+ degree weather, this weekend was just right. Took our SL on some of our favorite country roads up to the little town of Pollack Pines (about 20 miles up the hill from our home). Never any traffic which makes these rides so great :)

Thanks Peter, Not as nice as those pictures you took through the windshield of your Pagoda driving along the Beautiful Mosel :)
