I will be on your run for the first time in my cherry 2005 NSX, Red. Breakfast for 2, co-pilot is Tanner.
Drive to Mt Baldy via GMR with a "twist" on 8-25
- Thread starter LMR
- Start date
I'll have my anti-barf pills. If she thinks she might get car sick, she could chew one up before when we meet before the drive.
Time to go make brownies. With nuts. Les likes nuts. :smile:
Most likely in, me (Philip) and possible passenger
What a beautiful day on the mountain. Good turn out. Even Jason and Jonathan showed up close to on time. GMR continues to be one of the twistyest of the canyon runs we do. Photo and video coming soon. Thanks Les and Irene for serving up another fun drive. And breakfast was pretty awesome too.
^That's not what you told your wife, though, is it?
I came close to feeling like puking as a driver. I should have taken my own advice and had the anti-barf pills. :redface:
I loved the drive and the chair ride and hanging out with my NSX friends, again. Breakfast was pretty good, too. I ended up with 3 left over brownies. Well, make that two, now. When I pick up Jerry at John Wayne in an hour he'll be happy to take one off my hands.
Thank you, Les, for arranging this all for us, yet again.
Excellent ride. Thanks.
Well I made it to the top of Mt Baldy, barely. The 3.2 mile hike up took two and a half hours, 20 minute rest at top and one hour forty minutes down for a total of four and a half hours. The last switchbacks up were hard when you are tired but my real problem was going downhill. My toes were really hurting and when I got off the lift I could barely make it to the car. When I got home I found the problem. My toenails were too long and the shoe pressure was forcing my toenails back into my toes especially my right big toe. Now I know how torture works when you pull somebodys nails out only mine was in reverse. The hike was scenic and the weather excellent, about 70 degrees at the top with some wind. At least now I have done it and I don't have to do it again.

Here is the link to some shots my wife took yesterday. I'm working on the video but editing just isn't my bag. I'll try and get it up today.

What a beautiful day for a drive, breakfast and a walk in the mountains. You can thank Irene for the after drive events as she was the one that found the lift ride and breakfast combo last year. It seemed as everyone had as much fun as we did. Here some of the pics I took.

We were wondering the same thing, especially with an "all you can eat" breakfast. You even posted on this thread twice.

Great drive! Thanks for putting it together Les!
Such an awesome drive and event altogether Les! Thank you for setting it up and I hope that this becomes an annual thing. Next time I will be more prepared for the hike!

You need to post some of these shots here. Pam always takes great pics.

That was one of Greg's toys.
Thanks to Les for putting a great drive event.
Too bad I couldn't join you guys for breakfast and lift ride. Maybe next time
Yeah, and too bad I didn't get to beg for a ride in your car. :wink:
I trimmed my toenails, put on a bandage on one of my toes and played 2 hours of racquetball today so I am all right. Thanks.

Kyras, I felt little awkward bringing a funny looking nsx (according to Les :wink
to the drive but I'm glad I came out to play.My nsx won't be ready for September South Coast Acura meet so I can bring the mac again. We can def. go for a ride and all I want for return is some nutty brownie :wink:
