Any good places to drive in the bay area?

How's Palomares lately? I haven't drove there in like 6 months, but the last time I was there, I saw like 4 deer.

You can also try Crow Canyon Rd. off of 680.

On the Penensula:

Hwy 35 (Skyline Blvd) South of 280
Hwy 85 (Woodside Rd) West of 280
Hwy 236 (Big Basin Way)
Page Mill Road West of 280 (This is where I rolled my first WRX, be careful =)

You could come on the drive Kellie is organizing on Sunday the 24th. Check out the "half moon bay meet" thread in the meets section.

palomares road havnt changed much from what i can remember. still alot of deer, you have to keep in mind that it is like 10miles of mountain road. haha crow canyon rd. is fun but there is always alot of traffic. last time i was on there saw alot of cops too.

Take the last exit going towards Hayward off the Hwy13, go straight up the hill. That road loops around the mountain, it is pretty much the Hwy 9/Skyline Rd of the east bay.
