Rock The Dragon

It's been far too long since I've posted, over 2 years. I have a lot of catching up to do. This is from the S2000 club spring dragon trip in 2017.

As is normal on road trips, the car is only clean for the first part of the first day.
I would like to say we did some hiking of the Appalachian Trail, but we only crossed it in our cars on a drive.


Fontana Dam.


Stopped for road construction on a drive.

Montego Bay Jamaica

Watching the cliff diving at Rick's Cafe.
View from our room. The resort was beautiful and very quiet and relaxing.



Sail / snorkel trip.



Rick's Cafe, the plan was to have a few drinks and watch the sunset.


It was a bit overcast so this was a close we got to seeing the sunset.

Flying back home late at night, and I'm finally caught up on my blog for the last 18 months.

Fall Dragon Run

Our twice a year pilgrimage to the twistiest road east of the Mississippi, my favorite way to put a big smile on my face.


Meeting up with the Cincy group for a quick cruise down to Marysville TN.

Stopped for pics and sightseeing. We do a little sightseeing, very little, mostly just drive and swap stories about driving.





Had to to skip our group shot in the "gravel parking lot" because another was using it so we stopped across from the Harley Store.


Some of the local wildlife.






Lining up for a group drive.

Woodward Dream Cruise 16

Every August in southeast Michigan since 1995 we have a summer cruise on Woodward Ave to celebrate the car culture and history of the Detroit area. The first one drew a quarter of a million people and now it's usually about 1.5 million people and 40,000+ classic cars.

It's one huge car show, there are collections in most parking lots and parks you can walk through, or you can drive and look at cars, or grab a lawn chair and sit next to the road and watch the car show roll by.

People bring anything and everything, from Model T's to modern supercars to trucks to bikes and anything you can imagine.




TV stations cover it by loading the news guy, cameraman and sound person into a convertible and cruising.










Even the Police find something fast to cruise in.


My current dream about car.
Traffic is bad, usually so bad it's faster for the Police to use bikes instead of driving.
