Yup getting a loaner, hopefully I get something better than a base 328.

Lol so it wasn't only me, I shat a brick when I almost clipped him with my mirror.

Yeah we did, you should have heard Dave's commentary...

"OMG Frank, OMG, don't do anything to startle it, OMG! It's gonna charge us!"

Yea, I was not expecting any wildlife to be out in the middle of the afternoon.

lmao, That was the exact opposite of Pete's reaction, he was more like "ha, it would be funny if that deer ran out in front of you and you totaled your car."

A little long but has a bit of everything. I'll prob run it sometime this midweek or next weekend. Just remembered my car goes into the dealer this fri morning -_-

So after spending some time thinking about this route, the only addition I would make would be to take 7 Lakes Drive all the way to rt. 17, and stop at Rhodes North before heading to 17A.

I've added it to this map, the restaurant is point "L" of the route.http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&sour...9&ie=UTF8&z=11

I'm at the office and don't run photoshop on my computer here. They'll be up around 9-10pm tonight after I get home and finish shopping the rest of the pictures.

My apologies to Frank and Paul, I didn't have great shots to work with. Hopefully one of these meets I can ride along with someone and do my own shooting.

Thanks to PC for shooting these while I tried not to crash into anything or run off the road.

Tom, thanks to you and Pete for taking the time to take/edit/post the pics.
