I think I saw you as we were heading out Monday morning. It was my first time driving the Tail while it was snowing!

I was in the black 997.2 with the 2 M3s and the GTI. Looks like you managed to see better weather.

Can’t wait until summer. I am going to meet up with my brother who owns an Aston Martin and we are going to wind them out a bit down this road.

Hi, were you on the roadside with them up there? I think I bought 6-7 photos from killboy this trip.

Ha, yes, I wondered where you got off to after we passed each other and I didn't see you again. I did a few runs that morning and then fled south to North Georgia, where it was sunny and in the 50's. I had some great driving down there. Next day I got back up to Deal's Gap about noon and drove it until 3pm before driving home to Charleston. Got close to 70 degrees on the Dragon on Tuesday, and there was pretty light traffic. One of my best days ever up there.

We headed back up to Toronto. Weather was terrible all the way to Buffalo, where we eventually had to stop for the night.

I've already told my wife that this trip didn't count and that I'll need to go back this fall!
