Was driving home from Orange County today. Pulled the digital out of my purse to take a picture of that red car since it is only the second one of these I have actually seen on the road.
Then thought, hey, this is the stretch of road (though Camp Pendleton) that I said was one of my favorite places to drive so why not snap a few? Sorry they are not as sharp as the could be but that happens when the car is moving.
This guy was a granny driver but the car is probably a ticket magnet.

This is San Onofre at the northern end of Pendleton. This is the future home of Angry Pancake. Not bad huh?

Mountains and coastal scrub on one side of the road.

Ocean on the other

In this area, you often see things like Marines practicing getting out helicopters by climbing down ropes or practicing amphibious landings. It is always interesting.

We love the Marines because without them San Diego would be invaded and conquered by Los Angles.

My drive through here today was wonderful. It is the early morning drives that are the best especially on weekends. Traffic is light and there are no police (everyone drives 90 instead of 80) and the sky is pink. Driving throught Pendleton then is absolutely glorious.
Everywhere.
Portland OR, Skyline Blvd.
Google earth it, you will see what I mean :-D.
What a beautiful place!
Can you guess what I'll be doing after college? My future home...

The E30 or the 533 are great on that road, the loaded 4300# touring hampered with an auto sucks, even with the D'Sylva chip. OTH, Sally likes cruising in the country w/ me in that car 'cause it's less stressful and she doesn't get flung around in her seat. Makes me a perfect old fart driver. It was great towing the trailer to the dump this morning....
You and Pancake can hang out and work on your 5ers together. You will probably be about 15 miles apart as San Onofre is at the north end of Pendleton. Watch out though as he would be a bad influence on you. The Corps frowns on drugs but is good with booze.Quote:
