@Gordon Nichols Our next truck will be diesel. Enclosed is worth the price of admission, especially with an open car.......
@Chris MacDonald I'll send you some stills.

Nice job, Chris. It's funny how those wide-angle lenses make everything seem slower and farther apart. I'd swear it was a whoooole lot more "technical" than it appears.
@Chris MacDonald I was just being funny, not picking on the vids. They are pretty good for dash-cam.
Unless you've done it, making edited videos is a LOT of work. MusbJim is the master.
@Chris MacDonald posted:Plus, I have Friday, where Stan blew by us at.... *Ahem, a responsible 40mph.
I have no idea what you are talking about, but I'd love a clip of that footage.
That wasn't pointed at anyone. I have edited down a bunch of video from the weekend and while I think they look neat and my second attempt is better than the first; I could have one with variety. On Sunday, we took a similar track to Saturday so having another one may not be interesting.
Can't hurt feelings when I have none.
"Best of" could be more interesting. Plus, I got one shot I want to incorporate to a video. Stay tuned.

Probably similar to when Chuck Heath and I blew by Al and Hedi Gallo, and Heidi caught it on video.......
A few more pictures for good measure. The first 11 were taken Friday when we did The Rattler (hwy 209) and afterward when Danny adjusted Carlos' steering box and el Presedente tinkered on The Mighty 4.6. The next day was the Deliverance Run that Carlos came up with. Probably one of the most epic drives on the planet.

I will get the footage to you.
Chris:
Outstanding videos!!!!!!!!
Danny:
I was keeping a respectable distance from Chris and was prepared to sacrifice myself if one of the local gendarmes decided to pull one of us over from the rear. You should be grateful for my personal commitment to the group. No gator head for you!
Stan:
Glad you are home safe along with the rest of the Tour de Smo' knuckleheads.
Chris:
You and MusbJim are the left and right coast directors of the SOC Film Production and Drinking Society.
Chris:
You are risking your yet to be shipped actual gator head. I warned Danny, and now I'm cautioning you
The thought of those guys putting me in cuffs makes me a little uneasy. Shania Twain I'm up for but those two? I've seen Deliverance.
Ok @Chris MacDonald, that's hilarious!
ET TU ..Lane?
@Lane Anderson posted:Ok @Chris MacDonald, that's hilarious!
That's why I laughed at the picnic table. I saw that in my head with the 70's **** music. Every time I look at the picture, I hear the music and I laugh again.

Now I'm going to have to get relocated by the witness protection program, damn.
I was liking it here too.
BTW, I never knew I had a bald spot......
Last video.... Promise.
This one has better (more appropriate) music, only 4 minutes, less driving video, more pictures.
Now that is a video! I guess all that Facebook tutelage paid off LOL!
Chris you got skills, nice job
Nice job Chris. I noticed that that cyclist pulled in front of you after I gave him wide berth.
The picture Danny took of the butterfly on my mirror I think in hind site was actually an angel in disguise.
Really captured the spirit of the trip, Chris. Great job!
@MikelB posted:Nice job Chris. I noticed that that cyclist pulled in front of you after I gave him wide berth.
That cyclist was kinda in the right. Chris wouldn't have made it cleanly by him with that van approaching.
What was annoying, was the guy on the motorcycle that we encountered just before, that wouldn't let us by. I guess he felt entitled. Bastard.
It would've been good to hear us going through that tunnel though. I also had video of those falls. Next year I'll set up both of my GoPros and we'll send Chris everything.
Great times, people and places.
THAT'S how you do it, Chris!
Excellent Video! I was impressed with the transitions sync'ed to the music. That quickly takes you beyond Novice to something that the viewer's mind expects, but it's time consuming to do.
VERY WELL DONE!
great video.brings back memories.maybe next year.....

We missed you!
Let's get you a coupe, and we'll burn down the roads somewhere in Appalachia next year.
With @Panhandle Bob there, it was almost like Corn Daze all over again (with better roads). Great people, great roads, and a weekend we all really, really needed. I'm still milking out the good vibes (and I've been home for 2 days).
Well-done vid, Chris. Hope I can make this run next year.

Maybe more like Geezers of The Corn Deliverance.
Anybody else get some racey photos and a pair of man panties from Bob?
I guess with the "Deliverance Run", somebody's baser instincts came out....
I guess you got a real purty mouth Chris LOL!
Y’all are making me glad I’m home.
