Location

On Dowling Dr. northwestbound near Fairland / Burtonsville

Participants

Plans

McKay's plans are to drive up there, and perhaps get the Speed racer achievement.

Expedition

While McKay was driving there, he thought it wouldn't be too hard to earn the Tron achievement, so he gave that a go. He drove there, took a little bit of a round-about route (and through a roundabout) so that he could make the Tron achievement. With cruise control set at 25 MPH, he was quite the speed racer.
