South Mountain
Took the car up South Mountain this am. What a hoot. Tried a couple of weeks ago and drove all the way down there only to find that the summit road was closed due to the "Climb for the Cure" event. I tried to explain to the ranger that me doing the hill climb in my Cobra WAS my cure but he wasn't buying it. So went back today. Pretty nice but short little drive to the top. Really have to watch the bikes though. On the way down I chased/followed a group down at about 30-35 mph which was fun. Nice little drive.

Mike, glad you had a good time. Heck of a view, at least at night.

It's one of my favorite park drives in the country.

We used to live there (70's) and had visited frequently in the 60's. The last time I was there was in 96 when I worked briefly for Intel. The 96 view was way different from the 76 view, and I imagine the 2016 view was even more different  We both missed all those flower gardens on Baseline.
When we retired it was a toss up between Vegas and Phoenix (we were looking in/near Queen Creek) but Nevada won out with 0 state income tax. QC had the small town feel from Colorado but that had also changed a lot between 96 and 2014.

Wow Tony, I thought you were a young buck with a lot of energy driving from Las Vegas to South Mountain, just to make it up there. Thanks for the long explanation but now everything comes together. I understand now, you’re an old Buck!
