    Miatas at Boone this September

    Minuteman and I are going up to Boone to run the great roads of Miata Heaven Sept 19th to the 21st. I know some others are going just don't know who ?

    Bernie and I are heading up Wednesday,anyone want to caravan up with us.

    The folks up there have a jammed pack schedule of driving REAL roads including The Snake ( Dragon's little brother ) sight seeing,a Wayne Johnson concert, the dude is one of the finest guitar pickers ever. Then more driving and of course real Southern cooking and Carolina Hospitality at it's finest.

    For those of you who don't know what we are talking about, here's the link:

    http://miatasinboone.com/

    Went last year and it was the most fun I have had in years. I'll post some video, cause it's not to late to sign up:



    Drives can be 150 miles plus of mountain roads, stops at cool places, and crossing borders into 3 states from North Carolina, Virginia, and Tennessee. Lots of good eating and socializing and meeting enthusiasts from all over from states east of the Mississippi and Canada.

    Here's another video:



    The gathering of the MX5's for the first run at the meeting spot at the Highland Hill's Motel in Boone.



    First stop at a scenic overlook:



    You guys haven't lived until you attended a meet like this. Four days of fun!

    Some of the participants even made a music video out of one of the runs:

    I may be able to come out for a day. I have to look at my schedule and see what I have available.

    There is always next year. When Thumper comes back he will be like Moses coming down from Mt. Sinai after talking to God. He'll drag the whole Florida community up there, it's that good.

    Just so long as I don't come down from the mountain with long white hair and a white beard. People might mistake me for Santa Claus.

    Dang,I just got through watching some You Tube video from a few drives on the Snake ( RT 421 ). I can't wait !!!! The Gap may be a better drive , dunno, but the Snake has very little traffic.

    Dah! Thats what it's all about! No traffic and multiple roads so nobody gets wise and sees a pattern.

    The no traffic might have to be amended. Looks like maybe 100 cars will be there. Good thing we have a lot of road choices. Brad seems to have a plan for the influx. This is going to be BIG !
