Warmer weather has come, and we eagerly anticipated the first drive of the season with our car club yesterday. We weren't the only ones, seems like a lot of members had cabin fever, and were glad to get the cars out. That is our blue TVR on the left. We met up at a parking …

DH and I will be leading a drive for the car club in a couple of weeks, so we needed to drive the route ahead of time to be sure it is still a good route. Roads have a way of closing when you aren't prepared from winter rock slides. So, we got on the …
