The sun rising on the Ortega Canyon Road |
|
|
|
We turned onto a VERY private road and began to climb the hill. |
|
|
|
Amazing; this is a private road, we went through three check point/gates and signed a legal waiver |
|
|
|
Over the first crest and into the sunlight along the ridge |
|
|
 |
|
The sun was still low in the morning sky and the temperature was
nippy. |
|
 |
| Look closely at this picture. The road that winds along the ridge, is the Mazda "zoom zoom" road |
|
 |
| When the sun is right, you just NEED to stop for a picture
(never enough pictures) |
|
 |
|
Walt Puryear snapped the best picture |
|
|
 |
|
Bill Ainsworth always smiles while driving |
|
|
| We continued up the hill, total 2,500ft.
Note the shadow of the hill. |

|
Steve Marx had arrived early and reserved a prime parking line for us |
|
|
|
|
Steve Marx brought his white 300SL Gullwing |
|
|
| Steve also brought his beautiful red race car |

| A rare 1967 Mazda Cosmo |

|
An all electric Tesla prototype |
|
|
|
|
You can tell by the shadows that it is still early in the morning. |
|
|
| Again, there cannot be enough pictures |
|
|
| Our Mercedes line 190SLs was a popular attraction |
|
|
|
The gathering of cars was HUGE, with many excellent cars |
|
|
|
|
|
| There was also a horse show as part of Rancho Carillo Days |
|
|
|
Horse people are just like car people on four legs |
|
|
 |
|
The drive down the hill was also an excellent drive |
|
 |
| A line of 190SLs descend back towards Ortega Canyon |
