Went for a cruise the other day, where did I end up? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Started on the 15 south from Aero drive and ended up getting on to the 5N. I didnt really have any kind of destination, just driving around.

Got off the 5N, onto Genesee Ave, took a left and got on to N. Torrey Pines Rd / County Hwy S21. Scenic and curvy with a nice pass by the beach.

Kept going north, towards Del Mar, and turned right on Via De La Valle / County hwy S8 up through a country club area. Into the Rancho Santa Fe area.

Go to the 3 way stop, turn right onto County hwy S6 / Del Dios Highway.
This take you up through some winding mountain areas, and above a lake with a dam / reservoir.

Took that all the way up in to Escondido and took the 15S home. Took me about an hour or so, was driving conservative.

Was a nice relaxing drive and full of scenery. have driven all over the san diego area, and havent come across anything like this route. Theres even a little parking / pull off area by the lake. Think i'll make a stop there next time and take some pictures!

Nice, there seems to be a lot of hidden places around San Diego, it reminds me of the program "About San Diego" it always amazes me of the things we have on our back yards.

Indeed! Another one of my favorite routes is off of greenfield dr in El Cajon. I take the road up the mountains toward Crest and Alpine. Very curvy roads back there, almost scary to go over 30 mph around some of them haha. Alpine has some nice back roads to cruise on too.

I like the areas around Clairemont Mesa (where my mom lives) when youre on the 52 either going W or E with long roads and as you did either get off Genesse or go up to La Jolla. There are some nice roads and up hills to get that camaro vrooming and people staring as you pass them by.

You know i live near clairemont mesa, lol. like, 2 exits down. Tierrasanta is a real nice area, as is clairemont mesa. the 52 is nice, but start heading out towards santee and it starts to get boring.

We should all go for a drive to some of the places i know out on the other side of el cajon. lots of fun to be had out there.
