The wind was just howling!!! We were getting blown all over the road. The weather wasn't bad, it was just coming at us too &!$%!(#&amp;%!&( fast!!! <br /><br />Parts of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Panoche</span> Rd were best described as a series of patches, that needed patches. I did mention to the group, I like you guys, if you ever saw a straight line on a map, you'd cross it out!!! <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">GBG</span><br /><br />Happy Wanderer ran this road last week and came back for a revisit.
