Take 183 up to 620 and we can take you out to Lime Creek. Or you know, just look it up yourself if you want.

First run should be taken at speed limit anyway. Some of those turns are nasty. Run south to north and then the opposite way. For a scenic drive, 360 is nice but has lights. For speed, try the 130 tollroad for 80mph limits.

The whole run from 620 to the end of Lime Creek and back is pretty fun. Lime Creek Drive itself is starting to get more and more local traffic because of increased development in the area -- at least that's how it seemed to me the last time I ran it about a year ago.

Loving the BRZ. I'm torn between bringing the Z vs. the BRZ. I can't remember, were you there at the August C & C when I brought the BRZ?
