Cool Kinda useless post (pictures though!)

Climbed Mt. Hamilton today – home to UC Santa Cruz’ Lick Observatory. The observatory is about 40 miles from Palo Alto at the summit (elevation 4200 feet). The road leading up to the summit is twisty and rather narrow – the car was heating up and AC was barely keeping up (today was a pretty hot day though). Generally, on a not too hot day this could be a great drive for a 928. Have to watch out for cyclists and slow moving vehicles – there aren’t many place to pass.

The observatory:

928 at the top:

The way there:

That was the Sunday drive route for last year's Devek Days. Great drive in a 928, 65 cars can attest to that. Wonder what's planned for this year's drive?

Sounds like you had a great drive! If you like company of other 928s when you go on such drives, feel free to post it through norcal928.org or this message board - you might have one, two, three, or more sharks joining you. Our last fun drive to Carmel and Big Sur was aweseome!

PS: Your shark looks beautiful!
