With very little snow in the Sierra Nevada Mountains this winter I decided to take advantage of, hopefully, dry roads & blast around the high altitude (6000 ft +) twisties. I'm usually limited to the valley & coast in the winter but this is the first winter I can remember where the only snow in the Sierras is man-made. Since I am in NorCal I knew everyone, but me, would be sitting on their couches watching the SF 49ers play the Saints. And I was right as the roads were wide open. I have realized that the CHP are not NFL fans as I counted 11 of them on my 230 mile trip! I met a Ferrari owner doing the same thing as me in his California when I stopped at the Squaw Valley Village for coffee. Car guys are cool. Geez, I couldn't believe how tall the California is compared to the GT. I found a few areas of ice in the shadows near Lake Tahoe that had me sliding slightly but not too bad. Definitely my Hoosiers helped on the ice & cold road surfaces. There was a tiny bit of dirt on some of the icy sections but very little. Salt isn't used in California. Snow is predicted next week so now I'll have to wait until May. Of course it's 70 in the valley so I'm not complaining. It's even warmer in SoCal. If anyone wants to ship their GT out here we can do some California winter driving let me know!
