The drive up there was pretty good. Most of the morning Denny's group went on up the road ahead of the 9AM group, and we met them at the begining of Rock Creek Road (about ~4 miles from the trail head).

Leaving Starbucks at 9AM, we had about 10-12 rigs and TEX's tow rig. We were able to stay together as a group pretty well until we hit the famous "4-Lane" Grade. I was leading the group on the road, and once we hit the 4 Lanes, I was just keeping it around 55 or so, and still only PaulW (3.4l V6), and Geno (Supercharged 22R-E) could keep up. I took it down to 50mph, and we still couldn't see the headlights of anyone else, so I decided I would show off some 4-cylinder power and see if Paul and Geno wanted to play. I accelerated up to 72 Mph passing a honda civic, before coming back down to 65-ish. Paul and Geno gave chase, but I was waiting for either of them to open it up, but they never did. At first I figured Paul had a 3RZ, but later I found out he is a V6. I am sure Paul could have taken me if he tried, but I wanted to see what that Supercharger had :yupyup: next time Geno! hahahaha
