This is a pretty killer idea, actually. MaxSwell, I'll grab it from you at RA, my parents' house is about 15 minutes from there.

Lucky you! Do you ever attend any of the racing? Many years back I'd go to see vintage sports cars race, and a few of the Can-Am events. Good times.This is a pretty killer idea, actually. MaxSwell, I'll grab it from you at RA, my parents' house is about 15 minutes from there.

I wish there was a way to add captions. . . the way I see it happening now the person taking pic won't necessarily downloading them. Maybe include a sign regarding where you are in the pic itself? Similar to a Facebook tag. Sort of thinking out loud. I'm trying to avoid having a string of 147 random mountain pics. It would be nice to have accurate labels.
Ninjadoc, you are right it would be similar. the difference I'm hoping is that I'm not reading what someone else did. I'm reading/seeing the extension of something I participated in. Maybe a minor difference, but hopefully a significant one.
Booker, your ride looks pretty epic. I'd be honored if the CC (Chain Camera) could tag along your little journey.
TC, that Redditor trip looks intense. While I think they've planned it more than I intended to, the idea is very similar.
Looking at my calender, the weekend of May 11-13 is the earliest I could get this started. I think it's important to start it soon because I know there will be periods of inactivity, and we need to make the most of the riding season.

Sounds like a good way to get our VFR ppl to meet each other(as said already). Kind of reminded me of my 10 month ride in the early 70's. "I can't get lost if I don't care where I'm going". At least that was my riding plans back then.
The camera can see at lot of action, good idea.

Another option is that many of us have cameras and most run Cards so instead of handing off a camera we can swap cards or download to a site for editing.

I don't see why the ppl that post the pic's can't write a location under each pic they post.
What I would try and stay away from, are pic's that start showing "Location signs" in the pic's and lose all the "good scenery" that's out there.

But will the card fit in all cameras? Good idea if it works.Another option is that many of us have cameras and most run Cards so instead of handing off a camera we can swap cards or download to a site for editing.

I love this idea, im a little too close to you (like 15 mins) to be much use for an outbound stint. But I could pick it up on a return leg and bring it back in, or I might be available to come to the sendoff and take your photo
