Sometimes you just need to get out and drive. Especially when it's been raining...for a month. Most people I knew were heading to the SF Cars and Coffee at Alameda. My plan had always been to try to get up north and do some driving around the Lake Berryessa / St. Helena / Napa area on this day. My friend, another Michael, with another red 981 Cayman S agreed with me. It's all about the driving and the scenery.
With recent rains and flooding in California I was somewhat concerned about road conditions but figured it had been about a week to dry out. After checking online it appears roads were opened. There were definitely wet, muddy, and debris portions of some of the roads but by and large things were pretty good especially in sunny areas. We hit a mixture of sun and blue skies with damp foggy conditions at certain elevations and areas close to the hills. We always choose to leave pretty early to avoid as much traffic and bicyclists as possible.
Here are some photos. We also hooked up my second GoPro to my friends car and ran the audio line and mic I had all the way to the back plate. Great sounds of that Flat-6... I need to run the wiring more permanently on my own car soon.
