Default CA/NV drive with pics

Cindy and I went on a two day, 700+ mile drive. Saw some neat stuff and a lake that has been losing water since around 1893. I don't know when it will run dry but on a very nice day there was not one boat on it. The boat ramps are all out of the water, I would guess that boats are not allowed on it when its this low. We had to put the top up when we got to Auburn, the temp was 110F and even with the ac on that sun was just too hot on my head.
I will say this about my S, I don't worry about it overheating because we have had it in 114F heat with the ac on and the temp gauge doesn't move.

Here are the pics and map of our drive

Yes I did, but this time it had a pickup on top so it showed how large that boat garage is. Without something to compare size, you can't tell just how big it really is.

I think you forgot your crab-hat.
That's better than anything I know of for scalp protection

My crab-hat is only for the coast, or when I've had too much to drink.

Awesome! I've driven a number of those roads, but never that far into that area of NV. You guys really put your S2000 to good use.
