Google Map Discovery

Take the Google Map link that Chuck provided in post #1. Change the setting to "Terrain" (upper right). Adjust the map so that the center is the area just above the "C" push pin. What do you see? The answer is on my SmugMug album (photo #42) of this ride.

Ok, just a bit slow here. I came home and crashed until today. Finally got the pictures in my gallery Here. If anybody wants the originals just let me know. I had a wonderful time seeing some roads right here in Colorado that are great and scenic. The friendly company and the MINI turnout was outstanding too.

Look very, very carefully

Andy, your shot #2433 is the EXACT location of the header shot right here in NAM....at the top of this page.

The difference is 3 MINIs vs 1 but the location is the same. Check it out.

Andy & Ryan - Great photos! Andy, I'm partial to #64 .
Ryan, you are the winner of the most prolific shooter, I know electrons are free but all those photos went above and beyond, thanks!

Kerri(Ms MiniEnvy) was kinda picture crazy. She got very excited once we saw all of the MINIs together. I kept hearing things like "This is just the coolest thing ever!" and "I didn't expect this to be so fun!" and "Why didn't you get a MINI sooner?".
There were a LOT of boot shots! I did take some out that were blurry so there were about 50 more taken!

My wife was not crazy about going along, but by the end of the day she commented that she was thrilled that she went!

Thanks everyone for making this event one great experience & lasting memory!

Looked at more pictures, you all did a wonderful job with the pictures. I will have to see if I can save one or two of mine.

More group shots around on Skyline or did I miss them in my browse?

I think it was about 5pm. Mike from Nederland stayed with me all the way up Coal Creek Canyon. Didn't want the day to end! Thanks for your pix and all of the others. Rick's drive-by shots were really cool.

Me too!

http://www.russos.net/blog/randy/?page_id=112

Had a blast. Got a little schooled driving my first run behind Michael and Jonathan. I still can't get over that run between Canyon and Cripple Creek. WOW. I want to go back. Who's in? I feel like running that a couple more times. Thanks to all. Bummed we had puppy dog, it kept us from geeking out with you all at Zoka's. See ya on Friday for the next one!

Nice shots Randy. And my sentiments too.
I'm trying to come up with a way to do MINI trips on a daily basis and occasionally have work rallies.
