Finally completed the entire Angelus Crest HWY 2 scenic drive in the drop-top (5hr roundtrip), and could NOT have asked for a better day!
Luckily Mountain High Resort had a large sign at main road saying "Beer & Pizza," and that required an immediate U-Turn!
Only had one motorcycle accident hold us up approx 15 min, and luckily we saw that fella walk away despite the bike looking trashed.
My last venture this way was in the 981 GT4, and Newcomb's Ranch was still open: not this time, and that sucks.

My last ride there was on 2 wheels about 3 years ago - only took about 3,000 miles to get there.

i know where Rancho Cal is obviously since I live here, but I'm asking what twistie road he's talking about from Clinton Kieth to Rancho?


I don't think that's the part of the road he is talking about.... I see the one he might be talking about that goes through DeLuz...Imma have to check that out...matter of fact I'm gonna go check it out in about the next 20 minutes lol

Just wondering what post he was replying to also...kinda out of the blue?


I usual like to take Rainbow canyon to Rice Canyon to Palomar for some real twisties

Thought my post would have link to the thread but it didn't.

Anyway the road I am referring to goes from Clinton Keith by La Cresta into De Luz to Rancho Cal rd. Couple of straights and winding roads, not long but fun and you can get lost back there. Use to run my M3 there but sold that and now run my Cayman S there. Way much more fun!

Have not done my car in Rice Canyon yet, Though have used that road for cutting the 15 in heavy traffic!

I learned about the run through DeLuz a few years ago but it seems the road is hit or miss with regards to road debris and water run off. Was it dry when you went?

I was in that area a couple of months ago; no debris or water, but a couple of times I was blocked by a big concrete barrier placed across the road (there might have been more than one). The NAVI was confused by this because it thought the road was open. There was also an unpaved road - way too rough for my taste - that the NAVI thought was driveable. And I had not thought to pre-download the map to my phone, so with no cell signal I couldn't find my way around.

But there are far worse places than that to get lost in a Cayman! It's not classic twisties but very scenic and low traffic.
