Thanks for getting the videos uploaded Jeff. I'll have to watch them as soon as I get home this evening.

Jeff, probably the best and most complete drive videos (with sound) that I have seen! Camera position and commentary made me feel like I was driving the car! Thanks so much and hope that you might make it to Big Zipp with Nancy in two weeks.

Unfortunately, the Go Pro camera seems to flatten the hills, straighten the corners and slow the speed.

The roads seem much more challenging when I'm white knuckling the curves than appears on the video.

Greg has a modified lens on his GoPro. I'll see if it is available online. He had his GoPro modified to pick up elevation changes. It is so much better.

You're welcome Eric. Glad to have you.

I was pretty tired after the drive on Saturday. Went home, had a few beers, watched some video of the drive and was in bed by 8:15. Sunday was nicer weather, but I didn't do much. Cut some video, did a few chores and headed home.

Not many motorcycles coming by the pond, but quite a few motorcycles doing their "time trials" on the way out. Somebody is going to get themselves killed on that big bump going eastbound.

I was very happy we had no incidents or run-ins with the police.

Nice work on the videos Jeff. I enjoyed the commentary too. Next year, we should all have radios so you can narrate to us while on the drive.

I hope the police caught the misbehaving pickup and the Prius
