There was a website, LateralG.org, that until very recently housed a detailed list of roads that were great for driving throughout California. The site had been around for many years. Something has happened and the site is no longer online. Does anyone know what happened, registration lapse, piracy, etc?

Regardless, does anyone have an archive of the info that was on the site or know the owner?

Thx.

I use the "wayback machine" = internet archive to try to access old versions of websites.
First enter your desired website name and then click on the 2015 bar graph at the top and then click on one of the snapshots below in the 2015 archives for the site you are looking for.

I did that and was able to find pieces of the site. The map of Orange County was broken but I didn't think of trying to pull up a version from an earlier date. Will try that.

Different sites. lateralg.org was basically maps of California. They then took various roads and highlighted them and discussed them. Each road was identified as straight, curvy, high traffic, low traffic, best time of day to go, how far from gas, etc, and also ranked for how fun they were to drive.
