My first real trip out going someplace new with people (since my surgery) was this past week. Took Taco, as my tour-guide/driver, with me since I totally didnt know the San Gabriel area at all :D
went to Baldy village , then cruised up to crystal lake (awesome chili dogs and breakfast burritos at the lil food place up there! you MUST eat there if youre in the area! ), and later came down to coachella valley and drove up 74 to Idyllwild
and went up Tahquitz peak.(on the trail, no climbing for me, yet...)

Up the 39 to GMR to GRR to baldy village, down mountain to the 210 is a really fun drive through the san gabes.

I used to take the g/f up through there once a month. Mountain driving is expensive now adays.

How goes the healing process?

Its going good. All healed. Just a tiny bit of swelling in my face, but no one really notices unless they knew me pre-surgery.

And ya, we went on a few different roads out there. I think also GRR and 39...It was really fun!
And yeah, fuel is a lil expensive for just cruising, but I dont commute for work, so my car pretty much ONLY goes out for mountain drives, road-trips or autoX. I barely use 1 tank of gas per month normally.

I miss the days when I could drive up there. Thanks again for letting me relive the past. :-)
