I'm having trouble finding a central thread where I can show friends pictures of MOTD with all the Minis/activities that has taken place...is there such a thread?

 

Why don't we make this thread a gallery of photos from past years?

I'll start with some Midnight photos and some other assorted ones. . . just give me a few minutes to edit them into this post.

 

I love the Midnight run ones, with the beams of light pointing up. Too bad the new MINI can't do that...Does anyone have a copy of the video of driving the Dragon? That'd be a good thing for all the noobs...
Good pics, Andrew.

 

 

This just makes the wait for MOTD '07 that much more painful. :impatient . . . but keep it coming.

 

Where Is this Waterfall? I WANNA GO!! We are going down early for this very reason...last year we never got to explore the area, and now I am ready to see as much as I can (Got my free maps and everything!) Someone please direct me to this photo opportunity!

 

I think that is Cade's Cove

 

Last time I was in Cades Cove, I think I was about 6 and my mother took pictures of all the 'cows' (she didn't have her glasses on and snapped the photos...) Well needless to say, we now have a LARGE family joke about 'cows' she took pictures of haystacks in the field!
I will have to check it out. I want a picture of SoulFire like that!

 

Some of my stuff from last year here:

I was wondering what happened to some of those pics.

 

Hey! Great pictures! I remember you taking them, just kept wondering where they were. I spy one of me and one of Soulfire! Thanks

 

This is my first year on The Dragon. The pictures are great, looking forward to a great time.

 

Yep, that's right! Thanks! Only a small number end up getting run in the magazine, alas.

This is not at Cades Cove. This is Bald River Falls. This one is on a side road a few miles off of the Cherohala Skyway. The road you turn off onto is called River Road and is about 4 miles east of the junction of Hwy 360 and 165. Follow River Road about 6 miles to the falls. Be VERY careful because the road is barely wide enough for 2 MINI's to pass each other in many places. But is is so pretty that you want to take your time anyway. There is a parking area just after the bridge my MINI was parked on.

 

Thanks Yucca! we are planning on driving that way on wednesday before it gets toooooooooo crowded! I will make a note of it to check it out! I LOVE good pictures of my MINI!

 

pictures from MOTD3

 

I'm going to try to get there early this year for that very reason. I'll have to check out that waterfall, too.

We went there on the 1st or 2nd Dragon..it is beautiful. There's a little parking area beyond the bridge. If I remember correctly, part of that road is unpaved....I may be wrong. The Cherohala is cool, too.

 

It is paved the whole way, but I'd say it is hardly paved with old cracked asphalt. There is another shorter way in but that road is unpaved.

 

You're Right!!!! I was there but was thinking it was Cade's.

 

You ARE driving the MINI this year? AREN'T YOU!

YEs Mark are you driving the MINI this year ??? We have plenty of MINI's going down early, so we can take some of you gear
