My buddy Gary and I took a ride up to Georgia in his Nissan to see if what they said was true, that roads didn't have to be built on level ground and along east-west or north-south survey lines. I was skeptical. I decided to leave my Miata at home because it was on stock power and so that we could trade off driving/have a conversation.
We were meeting up with Doppleganger, RotorNutFD3S, Steve-o with the EVO, all of which had girlfriends as their passengers, and a fellow with a turbocharged and meth injected NC who's name escapes me at this time. We were set to meet up in Dahlonega, but we were running behind because we stopped to buy replacements for fouling plugs.

So we called ahead and actually found each other on GA400 on the way up.

We almost added to a big pileup that happened on 400 and Steve's EVO had a bad seal on his new radiator's bottom hose which required a pit stop but we finally made it.

Then just as we got into a good section of road we ended up stuck behind some ******* carrying a poorly engineered piece of Milwaukee excrement in the back of his poorly engineered truck. And he really was an ***.

We got to the end of one leg of the trip and decided to stop for fuel and a stretch.

The pace really picked up after that stop. And we kept the spacing somewhat wide initially. The weather was really nice.

I know. I was really hoping you could go. I'll give you more notice next time.
It was kinda so-so.
Stay in contact with these guys and they'll let you know.

George's uphill sequence.
Sorry about the lousy camera work, but the still pictures belie just how fast this sequence took place and how much I was fighting to keep the heavy Nikon on target.

And headed back down from the pass...
Note the big-*** f-ing cliff on the left with no railing and a completely blind curve.
