Just rolled in a few minutes ago.

Thanks to everyone who made the drive...it was FUN...in spite of all of the POKEY drivers ! There were thousands of cars...EVERYWHERE !!

I hope you all made it home safely.

Snapped a ton of pictures, but trying to drive and take pictures concurrently seems to be a real challenge...to this old-timer ! SO...who knows if I got any good ones...I'll check them out tomorrow.

If I didn't...I'll bet Laura got some good ones...every time I looked I saw her arm pop up taking pictures. Shoot...even sometimes...she popped up to snap some.

We may have to make her the 'official' Carolina's photographer !

 

What's up with the snail-like response of the S2KI site???

Well...damn...lots of blurry shots, yesterday ! Trying to drive and snap pics doesn't always produce the best results .

Here are a few pics...more to come...later tonight:

Stopping at the deli in Blowing Rock.

On the Parkway around Lineville


Somewhere...

 

Dang that looks like fun. Wish I could have made it but work got in the way. Love that area. First snow of the season and I will be there, no doubt. Of course I'll leave the S at home.

 

i did the parkway several nights ago before i left carolina to come home for a few days... it was an awesome ride... cept i did it at night... zero traffic... excellent road....

 

time to add my (not so) few pics...all taken while driving, with a few exceptions:
some nice color





s2ks on the parkway





driving across the viaduct


a few quality mirror shots



don't know what this kid was up to, but i know it was no good...


parked at the mt. mitchell summit (aka honda honda honda honda honda!)


group shot at the summit (yours truly, kim, nathan, raul, steve, anna, blake, and laura)


relax, all these driving shots were taken at approx 22 mph, so i wasn't being reckless. i didn't manage to get any good shots driving down (and up, and down, and up, and down, and up, and....down) hwy 80, as i needed to concentrate a little more on the road (whoops! sorry raul!). anyway, i'm glad you guys came out, those who didn't, you missed a great time!

 

Looks like fun. I need to get up that way soon.

 

Nice pics Jeremy...you did a much better job than I did !

 

even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then...

 

Well...this blind squirrel didn't fare as well...you must have some BIG nuts !

 

sheesh i expect that kind of thing from laura, but you steve?
