For all you folks who are stuck in the cold... im here for ya... today was a nice 75*F out and awesomely clear.
Heres the route
Santa Rosa Rd to Upland Rd - Google Maps
Up corral canyon was cool... of the 2 years i have been playing in the santa monica mtns (15ish k miles) i had never been up corral canyon... i had hopes of continuing on in the dirt but alas there was a gate just after point C.
I headed back latigo as i had remembered some cool off the beaten path roads that sprung off from there... i made a right at one of them not knowing where it would go... and took baller rd up to some really cool homes that were in the middle of no where over looking the ocean... definitely going to be back there once i explore more on google maps to get a bearing.. as there are tons of cool dirt roads id love to explore up there.
Looking out from Pt c on the map (top of corral canyon road) twords the valley / inland
The 180 opposite view from the above picture... Catalina island clear as day
(Yes... thats nasty smog to the left over santa monica / lax / palos verdes area)
And of course the beast... complete with bald tires (pilot power 2ct's turned racing slicks), and the fix all bandaid on the tank dent.
