How about the two pies since I'm holding your parts???

We have two tripods, one for a smaller, more compact camera, one designed to hold over 15 lbs. of camera goodness.

Bump for tomorrow night's drive!

is this trip going to stay on paved roads? if so Id like to meet you guys some where on the napa valley side of the mountain.

pleiad7 · 08-15-2008, 11:03 PM

Yeah, this is all paved. We're not even hitting the Napa Valley, though. We're heading up 101 from Santa Rosa and taking Hwy 175 from Hopland into Lakeport.

EDIT: Something has come up and I wont be able to attend. damn it.

eastbaysubaru · 08-16-2008, 04:43 PM

I won't be there either. Street Dance in Healdsburg is calling. :) Don't think I'll be in driving shape afterwards. Have fun!

Many thanks to piemaster for the great company and the delicious pies! This was a serious night drive, it was almost 5 am when I finally crawled into bed this morning.

Pics will be up soon, I'm still downloading from my camera.

I think photography-wise this was a big success! We couldn't have asked for better conditions. The light haze and clouds just added to the mood, I think!

pleiad7 · 08-17-2008, 12:21 PM

Our lookout point for the moonrise... a little hazy.

The twisty road and the cars that took us there...

Mood lighting and some cool clouds

Moonrise over the lake and mountains

Lookout point in Glenhaven, on the other side of the lake

ziggie216 · 08-17-2008, 10:32 PM

ah.. so thats what I missed out.

stan_t · 08-17-2008, 11:38 PM

Beautiful pictures. I've done 175 many times in my truck when I used to go off-roading and dirt-biking on the other side of the lake. Haven't done it in the Subaru yet.

Also, the Hopland Inn has a nice restaurant downstairs, very good food and service.

pleiad7 · 08-18-2008, 10:13 AM

^^ yeah, 175 is a fun road! We had dinner at TNT (Mexican restaurant) in Lakeport, out on the patio right on the water. Then we drove on to the other side of the lake to the "perch", where the last three pics were taken.

It actually worked out in our favor that there were only 3 of us because we were able to spend a good hour and a half up there without being noticed.

Upon our return to Santa Rosa around 4 am we encountered a little problem, because Roo had left the SVX in the parking lot at the Wells Fargo Center. We were unaware that they closed the gates at night, so we had to leave her there until morning. Roo had other ideas about getting her out of the lot, but we didn't want to wake Donna Summer's entourage in the tour bus/luxury RV that was parked right in front of the closed gate. They would've probably called security on us rather quickly!
