Vladislav Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Those pics of how the road twisted with some snow (or ice?) on makes feeling "Brrr...".And the very first shot gives just a cry - the car is in front of you but you're in the left lane!!The next one looks Ok though From seeing the pictures I suppose you drove calm enough having moments to apply the camera.Almost every shot is nice enough for a screen wallpaper 1 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timothy Maikshilo Posted August 14, 2015 Author Share Posted August 14, 2015 tim looks great! 103 here today, looking foward to seeing some snow in the mountains. thanks for the picsgearhead I really enjoy see the snow in far off mountains more than driving in it. has been cool here this week but when the sun is out it warms up rather nicely!Those pics of how the road twisted with some snow (or ice?) on makes feeling "Brrr...".And the very first shot gives just a cry - the car is in front of you but you're in the left lane!!The next one looks Ok though From seeing the pictures I suppose you drove calm enough having moments to apply the camera.Almost every shot is nice enough for a screen wallpaper Vlad it was snow with some ice depending on the elevation I was at. It was all melted in 3 hours on my way back. The road is very tight and curvaceous so wide turns are needed. I thankfully I haven't got nervous in years, just go slower and take my time. Glad you like the pictures! This gravel road was really curvy and steep 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
other dog Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Here's a little video I took over on Hawk's Nest several years ago. This one is heading east on rt. 60, coming off the mountain into Rainelle. 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These videos are at least 4 years old, been driving the KW 4 years in October. Stuck a little Kodak camera up on the dash and took them. That was the ol' Pete I used to drive with the 550 Cat and 18 speed. 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
