Default Twisty Roads + light traffic = Fun

Took a drive out to Radiator....I mean..Borrego.....Springs today. Sunny and around 80 out there. Very little traffic and what there was mostly pulled over (how often does that happen?). Also didn't see any CHPs. Had a clear run on the way back from Henshaw to the Lazy H on 76. Picked up a MY C5 Z06 (Z0SICX) just after Henshaw and we had a great run together. Nothing crazy, just a nice spirited jaunt down the mountain. Another day in paradise.

Fun pics John! I love going out on S2 and all-around Borrego. The roadside artwork is amazing...

Hope the re-furbished seat worked well!
