21st Birthday (SNOW filled drive in the MTNS)!
Hey guys,
Today is my 21st birthday and I woke up super early to get the most out of my day. First thing, my boss called me @ 6:45am to harass me for taking the day off and getting my 8 hours for "birthday pay"! I was already up. lol. But decided to gas up and grab a RedBull. I made 3 CD's that were perfect for a full day of driving.
1. HI-NRG and Italo-Disco Mix
2. Dubstep All-stars Vol. Mixes
3. Underground Trance and Techno
First off... I made my way up the usual run... It was so nice out! Weather was perfect and I was the only one on the mountain.
Then it was off towards the picture-esque lake that I always visit when I'm in this area.
one of my favorite mountains to hike! Whiteside Mountain.
another ridge shot @ 200mm
Finally some fluffy stuff! Had to take a restroom break! lol.
Bridal Veil falls

Happy Birthday!
And great pics as always, I especially like the first pic and the one on the snowy road with the headlights up,... and the last two pics too, they get me in christmas mood
But I'd never drive my fc in the snow, can be really dangerous when you have to brake suddenly or something, especially on summer tires.

Happy birthday! Beautiful pictures. I'm a little jealous. It hasn't snowed yet where I live, but I can't wait for it: perfect weather for hooning in my Scooby! 
How bad is the salt in your neck of the woods? I plan on keeping my FC operational through at least part of the winter, so I can test my repairs and mods. I've driven RWD cars in the snow before- my first car was an S13. I'm more worried about the ocean's worth of salt and sand the state's DPWs dump on the roads eating away at my FC's undercarraige. I'm fresh out of used motor oil to slather the undersides with.

I love the pure concentration it takes to drive in the snow and ice. I don't go out expecting to off road or anything but driving the roads is pretty reasonable for the weather here. I doubt I would be able to get back to those places again tomorrow b/c they are expecting around 1ft or so right now.
