I honestly think sitting in his passenger seat would be more exhilarating than sky diving.

I’ve been up Pikes Peak twice. Once many years ago when it was a dirt road and recently when it was paved. It’s damn high but was definitely more exciting before it was paved.

I spent my teen years up in Colorado Springs and daily could see Pikes Peak from my front lawn.

As a 17 year old the summer I graduated from high school and a few months before I went into the Army my friends and I drank and quasi camped on Pikes Peak to watch the Hillclimb.

Back then the roads were not paved. 1979. Treacherous. Can't believe it is all paved now.

San Francisco is by far my favorite.

Absolutely beautiful photography and driving skill in this video as well. Thanks for sharing!
