Lake Hughes Road is rough

Post by tannyo »

I drove on Lake Hughes Road today and it is really rough. I had to stop at the bottom and check my mouth to make sure my fillings were still there. Just a warning.

You might want to go past Lake Hughes Road up Pine Canyon Road to Ridge Route Rd. through Frazier Park and Pine Mountain Summit and down to the 33 and Ojai. It’s a longer drive, but the roads are smoother.

I was driving South on I-5 last Saturday near Pyramid Lake and saw you driving North on Golden State Hwy off to the side. You seemed to be moving pretty fast and had that road all to yourself.

I was on Gorman Post Road, a little north Pyramid Lake. I went through Gorman under the freeway and up Ralph’s Ranch Road to Lebeck, turned left up Fraser Mountain Park Road. I went through Pine Mountain resort and down Hudson Ranch Road to the 166 turned left to the 33 turned left again. I went through Ojai and down the 150 to Santa Paula. I took a bunch of side roads and went to the 5 and home. It was a nice run I think I went around 260 miles that day.

Rough Roads

And here I always thought the delight in driving a vintage British sports car was the ride and ability to tell of that dime you just ran over was a mercury one... :thumbs: .

Those are all good roads Tanny .

Didja stop at the same place to eat ? .
