I don't know why Poncherello let the rest of us off. After that, we left the area and went for lunch. It was a crappy drive.
In addition to the CHP, the Angeles Forest is not the driving place I remembered from a few years ago. I used to really love it up there. Now the roads seem like straightaways compared to Malibu and Ojai.
I do like the idea of a variety of places to drive, but I don't think I'll ever go to Angeles forest again, especially not on a Sunday.
Oh, did I mention it was really hot there too. Also, way more bugs splattered on the front of my car and helmet compared to my regular drives. Also when we are stopped and waiting for our leader to finish his enlightenment discussion with Officer Friendly, there were zillions of flies swarming around us.
A bad place to go.
(But then again that's just my opinion.)

I think part of the problem was that drive was scheduled for too early in the morning for that area. I have spent a bit of time shooting and testing cars up there during the week and usually there is no police in the middle of the day, but they patrol early and late when people start using the road to commute
