Winter is coming, and with it comes a road salt brine that devours cars like I devour donuts. I had already put Maggie away for the winter, but last Sunday was a decent day and I found myself with a few hours in the afternoon. Decided to take a drive up to what I assumed was the closed snow gate on one of my favorite local canyon drives. To my surprise the canyon was still fully open, so I had a nice drive up and over the top (10,734' elevation at the pass). Snow on the ground, but the road was clear and pretty empty. Turns out the heater in a Morris Minor works very well. Don't know if I'll slip in another drive, and if so this was a great last outing for the season.

A beautiful peaceful drive. Jealous. Here in SoCal we're looking at mid-80s later this week and no peaceful drives in sight.
 
amazing to see the snow. Was 60 degrees out today and took Ms Triss to her winter storage. Lovely top down drive through the fall colours.

And the garage is already full of kitchen debris. :rolleyes2:
 
Snow at that elevation is pretty normal this time of year. I was actually surprised that the pass was still open.
