JAB 67 Posted July 11, 2014 Report Posted July 11, 2014 Have fun; I did it last year and it was a great run. JAB 67 Fairfax, VA 2004 MCS, PW/B
CHILLIN Posted July 11, 2014 Report Posted July 11, 2014 I'll see you guys at the start point but will probably only be able to do about half of Skyline Drive.
mbiedzinski Posted July 11, 2014 Report Posted July 11, 2014 And Phineus is going to hit 10,000 on the same day! I hope he's lucky enough to see 100,00 like Tggrrr!

TGGRRR (Ali) Posted July 12, 2014 Report Posted July 12, 2014 I'm ready for the run I have my camera set up on shutter priority and 1/500th of a second so if there are vibrations I won't have any issues with camera shake. Tested the wireless remote mounted the tripod in the back (Mark helped with that so it's secure) Set the tripod head so that it sees the odometer, using a 100mm lens so that it is magnified a bit. Put a fresh battery and empty memory cards I think I'm ready!!! Also packed walkie talkies Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman

Lots of twists and turns up there on Skyline and crazy people traffic on 66 so don't forget to drive.

If you miss it, you'll get another chance at 200k. I will be careful Craig, that's why I set it up to be totally wireless. With just over 100 miles left I won't be on 66 and should be on Skyline. When we get close I'm going to get on the walkie talkie and ask to pull into a scenic vista where I can drive in circles to get to it Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
smoke789 Posted July 12, 2014 Report Posted July 12, 2014 I'm in. Had to deconflict with Craig, as he's got another commitment today. So I'll be solo in the Z. I'll be going just to 211, then heading back to Fairfax for date night. See you at the library!
TGGRRR (Ali) Posted July 12, 2014 Report Posted July 12, 2014 That was a blast!!!! I had a lot of fun with all of you. Thanks for leading Will, it was a great little run. Thanks to everyone for humoring me on Tigger's big milestone!!! There were a few technical difficulties when we stopped at 99,985 to check the set up and my wireless remote stopped working. Luckily the cord was long enough on the remote so I was able to use that. But it freaked out and was taking pics without me hitting the button. I got that to stop and then all was well for capturing 100K safely. Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
Goose Posted July 12, 2014 Report Posted July 12, 2014 That was tons o' fun. I will definitely be at the next skyline drive run. It was great to finally meet some of you. Thanks for organizing, Will! That Ali person is a character.....:top: I have to say that once we all went our separate ways exiting off 66, the drive up 495 and into MD was....uhhhhhh....lonely :wavey: Grey Goose: 2016 F56 Moonwalk Grey JCW - TTFS/GTPeace Custom Stage 1 (Present) Shadow: 2011 R56 HT MB/MB - MANIC Stage 1 (Past)
