Impressive that that's an original engine. We got home around noon today. We left at about 3am after someone in our cabin discovered mice and decided to switch rooms. I convinced psyber to just take off and stop frequently for caffeine/food/fuel.

Damn, that is hardcore after the day we had yesterday. |
I know - somehow we were both pretty alert at that hour. Psyber and the other photographers in our group went out around midnight to shoot the Milky Way with their expensive cameras. When we came back, the mice incident happened and everyone started packing and moving rooms. We were already planning on leaving at 7 or so, so we just took off east and went through Pigeon Forge. Interesting portion of that drive has a complete 360 road that transitions into a tunnel. Check it out: https://goo.gl/maps/7AsHtqYdMkD2
It was good meeting all of you and associating faces/names/screennames/builds. We should really set up a MT-specific run ahead of time next year. |
Great time this year despite not running up the mountain with you guys. I know my brother had a blast. Next year I'll have my car shaken down and I'm looking forward to joining in on the fun.

It was a great time and was good to meet all of you.

The weather made it interesting, but I had a great time on my first MATG. It was great finally putting names and faces to many people here. Made home around noon yesterday and spent the afternoon unloading between more rain and trying to dry out my tool boxes.
|
Made it home at about 9:30 pm last night. Trailered my car there, which turned out to be lucky for a local Miata guy that was down there with me as his alternator decided to quit on him on Saturday. I tore mine off to let him use once I loaded my car up and he made it back without issues.
|
It was a real pleasure meeting you guys. I had a blast, and looking forward to going next year. |
I got to do a little investigative work in my wiring harness. I guess that's just one of those things when you have so much taken apart to put a roll cage in and not a lot of time before the event.

From the first Cherohala Runhttps://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...d5f0d83edb.jpg
Before the second Cherohala run, Shibby and I explored a bit before meeting up at Wendy'shttps://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...1047078787.jpg Stars were out tonight near the Fontana Dam. The dam itself was brightly illuminated and produced a bunch of light pollution and there was fog, so this was taken stacking a couple exposures near the bridge/helipad around the corner. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...007f702457.jpg Saturday night, an executive decision was made between James and I to leave immediately after our cabin was found to have mice. The remaining roomies where getting other accommodations so we bolted. Sixshooter this road, US441 from Cherokee to Gatlinburg, was definitely awesome at night.https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...fb24913baf.jpg |
I know the owner denys it, but that's one of the best looking NA's I've seen. Vents+turbo+wheels+blue= https://www.miataturbo.net/images/smilies/likecat.png

Our run on Saturday afternoon was around 5:30-5:40 on the photo sites I found so far.

Good to see those I have met before again, and to meet new folks. Next time I make it I'll try to do more runs with forum people. Those large organized runs are just too sketchy.

Just remember, "MT.net @ The Gap 2020: Year of the NC (top up, AC blasting, and no waving)"

Good meeting everyone this weekend, a few rollers from the lunch run.

Also, y'all did it right on that smaller group drive on the Cherohala loop. I had to lead about 50 cars, in my buddy's NB2, through the loop and the only person I knew was chief, lol. Everyone here should also plan on AMP on Thursday for next year! |
And we got a lot of service out of the CB radios, too. Very helpful for Psyber and I to communicate. Totally worth it. We got to chat while we were driving sometimes if it wasn't too curvy.
