Epic Miller Adventure

So, several weeks ago, Yamaha contacted me asking if we could attend and shoot the Miller Motorsports Park Yamaha customer appreciation days.

Uhhh…yeah, of COURSE we can! Whoo hoooooo!!!

Now skip forward to Saturday, September 25th… Toe and Dove are with me, and we head out. I wanted to get an early start, so we weren’t rushed. It always seems like we’re rushed somehow, someway, somewhere… I wanted to make sure we had plenty of time on our ~671 mile journey to MMP. I’d charted our course to take hwy 50 all the way out to 36. And I’d plotted our return course to be on hwy 80…who likes to see the same long, boring drive twice in a row? This would give us some variety.

This would also lead to much commotion.

Over the course of the trip, we saw a TON of these…

Around 1am on Saturday night, I hit a Great Horned Owl. Poor bastard never had a chance. Sux, cause I like owls.

We also found a tree with tens of thousands of shoes in it.

Shortly after the shoe-tree, we stopped at some OHV area to get some rest. The next morning when we woke up, I took this shot of where we slept…Dove and myself each on our own picnic bench, Toe in the Element.
