I finally got my GoPro video camera working, so I thought I'd show the interesting bit of my regular Friday evening commute (though it doesn't seem nearly as interesting on video as it does in real life :? ):

Turn audio down, it's just crackles.

Green with envy. You must arrive at work in great spirits after a drive like that.

I do have a commute like that, but right now it's lined with snow banks and the road is covered with the gravel that the highways contractors pass off as sand.:ack: Truck time...

To be honest, it was running ~25° in the morning for a couple weeks, and before that it was raining, so I don't ALWAYS get to do the fun commute. The fun route usually adds about 1/2 hour over the direct route, but on Fridays bad freeway traffic puts it about even.

Yes, nice road that is. We went there last Saturday with Doug and Randall.
But don't be surprised by the wildlife (I posted that a few years ago).

I thought that road looked familiar. I used to live in Tujunga in the early '90s. Ran that canyon many times with my Kawasaki and Miata.
