TWR July Sunday Drive - Freedom Run III - 7/27
For July we're returning to the Kitsap Peninsula. After 2 years, it's about time we enjoy the twisted rural roads that criss-cross the area. We'll head out from Bremerton and enjoy Lunch at Scenic Beach State Park. Then make our way south to an old Ghost Town before returning home via South Worth. This is years most technical route, with some of the twistiest roads around, so be prepared for a bit of a workout. Details and registration, as always are avaialable at http://www.the-winding-road.com/modu...ent.php?eid=40

Drink plenty of water with your celebratory beverages.

Thats a no go since the people I party with wouldnt let me. Last time I had to drink most of a bottle of patron silver alone since they all had downed a bottle between 5 people and I had gotten there late.

I see that. Cool.
BTW, I pre-ran the route yesterday. I'll be making some changes, but the general idea of it is the same. And stay tuned. If I can get things working right on my computer here, I'll have a surprise in the next day or so.

Here's a taste of what we'll be enjoying Sunday.

Please excuse the metal bar in the middle of the image. I built the mount the evening before, and didn't realize it was going to reflect onto the windshield like that. It's been painted flat black since to help reduce that issue.

Jingle Ballzzzz!
I just got back into town and looked at finances. Between my 2 trips, and my dog's surgery and on-going complications from it, I'm not going to be able to go this time.

I'm sorry you guys can't make it too. As for the mount, it's a temporary design. I've painted it flat black and will be testing it out again this afternoon. When I shot the video above, the mount was suction cupped to the windshield and sitting on solid mounts on the dash. The latest design has it's own suspension on the dash end. A few more tweaks and I'll be ready for a V1.0 TWR Camera Dash Mount. My Dad was trying to convince me to use sprung steel between dash portion of the mount and the windshield portion. We'll see.
