Hal

I really envy you for the area in which you live and the great roads you have to drive on (as well as your ability to tell a tale).

Up here, the leaves are almost all on the ground and the weather has turned for the worse with rain/drizzle/etc 3 days out of 4. However, it is going to get a lot worse before it gets better since the snow will start to fall in about another month or so.

The winter plays havic with our roads so even in the summer months driving a Cobra up here is a bit of a challenge, especially on back country roads. It always seems as though there are pot holes, cracks, bumps, etc which result in pebbles, sand, and/or rocks on the road surface. Of course Cobra drivers try to avoid these objects but it can be difficult. I much prefer to take the back roads instead of the major highways but the bad condition of these roads makes it tough sometimes.

In the mean time, the Cobra is dry and warm in the garage and I can only read about those of you that are still able to enjoy your rides.

Regards,
Wayne
