more Key West

 

In addition to the sunset cruise we took a snorkeling and kayaking cruise. Of course it was took windy to snorkel but we did get to kayak.

Kayaking in the Mangroves.

On the drive back home we stopped to Everglades National Park to do one of my favorite things, photograph wildlife.

It's fun to see what other people are photographing on their phones.

Key West 2021

It's always been a bucket list item to drive all the way to Key West. When I was in seventh grade the family tried driving from Ft Lauderdale to Key West. We made it about half way when for the 10th time my father turned around and yelled at us kids in the backseat making so much noise, "I'll turn this car around right now!", and this time he did. During christmas in 2021 we finally made the drive all the way through the keys to Key West.

We did the usual tourist things including a sunset cruise.

It takes real talent to take selfies with 2 phones at a time.

The sunsets at Key West are amazing.
 

DFR 2021

     Our Dragon Fall Run trip to western North Carolina. This trip is usually much smaller than the spring trip.

Just northeast of Hot Spring NC, at a spot in the woods so out of the way we can stop for a break and not worry about any traffic coming by.

Our usual crew, mostly S2000s, a couple of CTRs, and an old Monte Carlo.

Lunch at little Switzerland on the Blue Ride Parkway, I should say lunch with a view.

Our resident drone expert.

Stopped for group shot on one of the overlooks on the Cherohala Skyway.

Dream Cruise

 Every summer about a million people and 40,000 cars show up in Michigan to relive our youth and cruise Woodward Ave like we did as teenagers. We setup lawn chairs on the side of the road and just enjoy the rolling car show.

People bring anything and everything you can imagine.

This was my first car when I was 15, a red 64 Corvair convertible.

Mclaren is near the top of my dream car list, someday...

NSXPO2021

 Finally some cars stuff, what we actually took the trip for.

The first two days were a track event at Oregon Raceway Park, southeast of the Dalles on the Columbia River.

I think this is my all-time favorite photo of my car, nothing staged, just shot while we were moving the cars around for a drone shot at an air museum where we had a dinner.

Group photo at the track even.

We had almost the entire resort where we stayed south of Portland so it was NSXs wherever you looked.
