I share your fodness for La Porte Road ...a staple for us over here since they paved it a few years back. Before it was dirt (as mentioned earlier in the thread) and popular with dirt bikes. I was over it (westbound) on Friday on my way to the Cal24 ...my first time this year and always a treat. Trust me, you won't get tired of this road ..and being that it is closed east east of La Port for tyipically about 7mos each winter you have to enjoy it while you can.I hope you'll let me know next time you head that direction, I'd love to meet up with ya, share some of that fun and perhaps I can help link some other good stuff together.
