That sounds great! I'm so excited you got to take us with you for all this. And I can't wait to see some great mountain photos. Create something fantastic!

I feel inadequate now.... I only took 30-40 frames and posted maybe 10 of 'em.

I want a do-over.

Thanks guys, Mark I blew it in regards to mtn pics but I'll post some up anyway soon =)

And when I get to tampa I'll get off the "snap shots from a bike" and try and capture some images

You're more than welcome to have a do-over. Once I feel like the submissions have slowed down, I'll go down the list asking if anyone wants a do-over. You'll be granted one in the order I get your response in.

I have updated the original post in the beginning of the thread. For those of you who are following along, here is a copy of the amendment:

**UPDATE 3**
From this point on, please do your best to keep the lens for the allotted 7 day time maximum. Disregarding this time limit has gotten us 6 months in to the project, with only 2 months' worth of participants able to do their part. If, for some reason, you think you could do something constructive with extra time, please PM me with your plans and we can work it out from there. Should I not get a message saying that you have sent the lens out on the 8th day, expect to get a phone call on the 9th day as a polite reminder to do so promptly. I'm sorry it has come to this, but it really is in the best interest of the group.

So, please be prompt with the lens, and know what you're going to do with it when you get it. At this point in the project, you all know when your turn is, and have plenty of leadway to make arrangements as necessary. Sorry I kind of have to be stern about this, but it really is in the best interest of the project.

Another thing that needs to be addressed: If you have not added your photos to the flickr map, please do so ASAP. Make sure you geotag them as best as possible to ensure they go on the group map as well. Along with that, if you have not signed up for the flickr group yet, please do that as well.

Thanks for understanding,
Mark​

Hey guys let me apologize for keeping the lens so long. I've been on the bike saddle for weeks and just finished the trip. I'll be getting the lens out promptly.

Last few "snapshots"!

Here's a few more pics. After the trip I went down to Naples for a few days...forgot to post up last few BS snapshots!

What do I like so much about BAT CAVE NC???

I like the fact all the locals roads rock without such as the "tail of dragon" in NC hosts as of past couple of years (hardly-ablesons, car clubs, squids, tourists, etc)

The low-carb NC apples are great

Dunno wtf this thing was.

And last day in the mountains I saw the mountains and the sea in the same day, hello Tybee Island GA/Atlantic Ocean

12 hours in the saddle - and the sun set in the low country as I moved on past the beach and towards a friends house =)

Dunno wtf this thing was.

thats the front of an old tractor, although it looks to be missing various pieces...heh

[Markw]

Wuhoo! Cool. Just make sure you remember to upload them to and geotag them in the flickr group pool! :mrgreen:

AWESOME STUFF!!!!!!!


It's not often I regret being Norwegian, I'd love to be a part of this thing!!


*waits recklessly for international rounds*

 

[matthewo]

love bat cave man. hwy from lake lure to black mountain just east of ashville is amazing. while the dragon is ok, i could tell you 10+ other roads that are just as good with way less idiots.

Thanks guys!

I owe an apology for not getting that lens out...but its about to fly

 

[Compaq]

For all non-Americans that read this, I hope many of you decide to participate in the international rounds. Let's challenge these folks and produce an even more epic thread (if it's possible)!

...and produce an even more epic thread (if it's possible)!

I didn't even think about this! The thread is called "TPF Across America", but I planned on putting international users in this thread as well. Maybe I can get a mod to change the name when it gets that far.
