Talking Hey guys, just got back from 2 weeks on the East coast

Here's a little teaser vid of some of the roads we experienced.
Excuse the quality... the co-pilot wasn't too steady with the hand held.

This was a ~360 meter descent down Smokey mountain in Cape Breton.
It was an early a.m. run, so not too aggressive on the cold pavement.

Hey Ian, welcome back. Pat did very well with the camera. That run looked very familiar, luv it

Sent you a PM

PS, we did the run in the opposite direction right beside the edge. My Avi was taken on that run

I think she did pretty well considering the pay grade.

SS, I'm sure they were terrified into silence. Remember who's driving.

Welcome back, Ian, can't wait to see more video!

At the pay grade, I was lucky to get *that* vid

...I do have more pics though; I'll post a few when I've have a change to go through them.

Great job by the co pilot and the driver! Driving those roads is a blast.

Looks a bit easier driving down Cape Smokey than the last time I ran up it!

It was nice seeing you folks.

After driving that road, I cannot comprehend what it would be like to run up that monster.
Major kudos for doing that.

We had a great time & it sure was great to see everyone again.

Thanks Wayne, it was a great time & as you know the hospitality of our Eastern friends can't be beat!!!...

We did that run 4 times (2 each way) that outside edge is definitely intimidating on the way up.

Love the avi, I recognized it right away

haha, it's not so bad if you're well trained. It takes some mental and physical determination to try and race it as fast as you can though. North and Mackenzie are definitely worse.

It was great meeting up.
