In Reply to: Idyllwild Drive Yesterday... posted by arnolds on April 15, 2001 at 19:29:20:


Here's some pictures for the impromptu Idyllwild Drive down here in Southern California. AK, mola (and his wife) and I went on a spirited mountain drive towards Idyllwild which sits atop above the 6000 feet elevation above Palm Springs.










The cars handled great through the curves. The drive was close to perfect in terms of distance, difficulty and enjoyment. It took us about 5 hours round trip including lunch and all the scenic stops. And of course, the weather was perfect.

We started at my house in Corona, taking Cajalco Road East until it became Ramona EXPY and then onto the 74 east up to the mountains. On the way back we continued on to the 243 north and onto the 10 Fwy.

My new H&R springs and Bilstein shocks setup were wonderful although I did not push them anywhere near the limits. I felt I had total control of the car through some of the more spirited curvy sections of the drive.

If anybody in So Cal wants to blow off steam and go for a great drive, I would recommended Idyllwild as the great elixir!
