Lightbulb Before you die, or to die trying.....

Hi Travelers,

These are my favorite winding 2 lane Rocky Roads. Jot them down on a "To Do" list. Bring a new set of tires to shred. No particular order:

Sheridan WYO -> Cody via 14a
Cody WYO -> Red Lodge MT via 212 Beartooth Hwy
Going to the Sun Road, Glacier Nat Park -> only when the park facilities are CLOSED.
Laramie WYO -> Saratoga via 130
Laramie -> Rustic CO loop via 230, 14, 287
Delta CO -> Carbondale via 92, 133 (stay at Redstone Inn)
Pagosa Springs CO (do the springs) figure 8 -> Montrose via Telluride, Silverton, Creede, & Cimmaron.
Glenwood Springs -> Steamboat Springs via 131

Happy Trails,
Ike

I went to a Metro NY PCA DE event at Pocono Raceway and ran my Boxster S around the track at 100+ mph in the rain. Best 4th of July I ever had!

I spent the day applying leather to my rear storage box and then took off my passenger side door to measure it for leather as well.

No trips this year :ah:

We did Jackson Hole WY -> Brigham City, UT via 89. Wonderful, but I had warped a front rotor on the RX8, which saved wifey!!

I left the Boxster at home and rode down to Darien, GA near Brunswick, Jekyll, St Simons, etc. Beautiful live oaks with spanish moss, marsh lands, chasing porpoise by boat, walking the beach at Sapalo island, bicycling at Jekyll, fishing, etc. Hot and muggy like a southern novel in the morning, cool and breezy in afternoon. Dramatic storms with a tornado or two on Sat evening. Blue crabs, fiddler crabs, shrimp; herons and pelicans and painted buntings. Clear night sky showing off the milky way. Quiet serenity or a little guitar to go with the martini. Like that.

Wifey and I rode up to Jekyll and St. Simons about a month ago for a nice Saturday evening dinner on St. Simons. Not a bad little trip up from Amelia Island and it's about as different from Amelia as you can get. Low key, layed back and quiet.

We took the Boxster to the Pacific NW Historic races.

There were a few Porsches in attendance since they were the tribute marque.






and some other cars as well

Oh man!! I'll be joining my wife at my daughter's in Tumwater (south Olympia) on the 17th. I always just miss the great events!!
The 917 brings dampness to the old eyes. My first sportscar race was Sebring in '68! Jo Siffert won in a 907 and that started my Porsche love affair and I was a major Siffert fan until his death at Brands Hatch in '71. His drives at Daytona and Sebring in the 917 were a sight to behold and memories that will never fade.
I am also honored to be aquainted with his 917 team mate, Brian Redman, who lives in south Jacksonville Beach (Ponte Vedra) and is a major part of the Jacksonville racing fraternity.
