This past Sunday, five roadsters met for a ride to see the annual bloom of 
California poppies on the rolling hills, outside of Palmdale.

We were apprehensive at first, as it was heavily overcast and drizzly. The 
record breaking storms of this season had washed out most of the exciting 
mountain roads, so, our ambitious plans for twisty roads were thwarted by "Road 
Closed" signs.

No sooner than we topped the mountains, we found the sun. The mountain ridge 
was holding the foul weather in the L.A. Basin, making it a beautiful 
springtime day in the high desert.

During our picnic lunch in the poppy reserve, we were visited by a 
roadster-less owner, new to roadster-list (Hi Masa!). Even a Rattle Snake came 
to join the conversation.

Gary C. noticed a dirt track where you could drive amongst the flowers. Nothing 
like a little off roading.... In a sports car!
