Northern LA County

Hey all,

Went for a drive last weekend up San Fracisquito Canyon Rd....to Spunky Canyon, and finally back on Boquet. Nice drive, pretty fast, nice view as you descent down towards the Boquet Reservior. You pass the San Fracisquito Dam...the sight of the damn failure in 1928. Not many cars out there (on a sunday). Anyways, cool pictures below...


Oh ya, there was a fire nearby, and happened to catch some Super Scooper aircraft refilling!

What a coincidence! I took that exact route, only in the opposite direction on Sun 10/14. I had a blast, see here. I live around the corner from Bouquet and David Way. Do you live near by? I plan to drive that route again once all the roads reopen.
