Duane - I've seen that Hiawassee Mtg Bldg and stopped there once or twice. I believe we (you and I - and others) rode by there on a N. GA trip once.

That is a way cool building in a terrific location amist some great riding.

Went by there on the weekend of Josh’s frosty seat. Good day indeed. We were in the area during the Crawford’s camping meet too. The town’s name is Reliance IIRCI.

WOW....what a set of choices this year. There are far more than 12 5 star rating photos in this years choices for certain. Man, people REALLY stepped up. Well done.

Definitely some hard decisions to make in narrowing down which 10 I vote for...

Consider voting for ALL of the pictures. You can assign a lower star rating to the ones you don't care for. This is the way Tim has designed the voting, IMO.

Yes, this is correct. I don't understand why each year every photo doesn't have the same number of votes at the end. Maybe I should change it so that your votes only count if you've voted for every photo.

I cannot see the currently top 4 ranking photos regardless of which settings I choose. What to do?

Yes, dear - I will vote for all of the pictures - but only 10 will get a 5 star rating from me. Actually, probably 12 because I see many that I like more than my own 2 this year...

There's a few that carry a deeper meaning for me in the mix. Wheaton's submission - captured on the BRP approaching the Richland Balsam from the east was a spectacular moment in time for me this year - that entire morning's ride to LZ JWilly was epic. My first picture is at the Turkey Creek overlook on the Charahala Skyway - LZ JWilly2, captured that same weekend. Of course, seeing JWilly and Sonya's smile - that one goes without saying.

So many great shots this year.

I was just using this as an opportunity to bring it up. Every picture should have the same number of votes to give everyone the best chance.

And I definitely get the sentiment. My dual sport submittal this year was in large part based on the sentiment it conveyed to me at the time. They say a picture is worth 1000 words, but sometimes, I find that not to be the case....

Scott,
I very much regret you not submitting this photo. I would have rated it a 5.

All of the pictures look great. I don't know if I was too late voting but I am excited to get one. I'll hang it in my Honda service shop. LOL.

There are a few days left to get your votes in. Even if you think you voted for everything, please go back and make sure because clearly not everyone has. Images you have not voted for will have a RED title to them.

Is this for every photo you try to rate or just a few? I haven't seen this error, but I can look into it.

Alright, the polls are closed. Thanks to everyone who submitted photos and those who voted for all of the photos. Look for the calendar purchase links later this week.
