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!
