Default Re: Any one ever taken there A off roading?

Years ago while visiting our cabin at Twain Harte CA,we decided to take our 31 Cabriolet for a drive.With our 2 daughters and our Samoyed in the rumble seat,we set out for the back roads.... My wife whom spent her summers in Twain Harte thought she knew of a good"Model A " road. This was nothing more than a dirt path in and among trees and other wild shrubs. As the path got narrow and rough, and no place to turn around, we kept going ever so slow as we were going over very large granite rocks that we discovered was a dry creek bed. Eventually we came upon a very high berm of about 20 or 30 feet high. When we reached the top and came upon level ground ...we were in a very busy picnic area... some guy shouted out "SOME FOLKS WILL DO ANYTHING TO AVOID THE ENTRANCE FEE !!" My wife was most embarrased to have guided us into the Lyons Lake picnic area through the back forrest!
