4 Wheels to Saluda!

Unread postby Bob » Wed Jan 18, 2023 4:58 pm

Today, 1-18-22, Scott, Lee and I made a hooligan run to Ward's Grill in Saluda for lunch. Lee created a perfect route that got us there in approx 1.5 hrs but was twisties all the way. Maybe Lee will weigh in here to outline the route. Burgers at Wards Grill are thick and juicy! After lunch we did Saluda Grade downhill, almost as much fun as uphill. Then a buncha back roads between there and Rutherfordton. Average speed according to GPS was 53mph.
We didn't dally around. <muaha>

It was a great route and had very little traffic today.

Bob and Scott have matching Porsches. I don't know what to think about that. <grin>

I'm attaching the GPS route file. It says "Auto" but that's just for my filing purposes.
