How to get a D200 into 'Bulb' mode

I imagine this wasn't hard to do for most D200 owners. Apparently, I'm not like most D200 owners. It took me a while to figure out how to get the damn thing into Bulb mode.

Here's what to do:

Hold down your Mode button and turn the rear thumb dial (on the right side-top of the back of the camera) until you see the letter M appear in the top lcd display. Let both buttons go. Now you're in Manual mode. Next, and this is the part that took me a while to figure out, you'll need to turn the same rear thumb dial to the left until you see BULB appear in the lcd. This may take a while, depending on how your camera was set before trying this. Don't lose hope... it's in there, you just may need to turn it like 20-30 clicks. The thing is, you probably noticed that if you just start turning the dial, nothing happens. Before your turns actually start doing anything, you have to first activate the auto-focus by either tapping the shutter button halfway or by hitting the "AF-ON" button right to the left of the rear thumb dial. Once you've done one of these, you can start turning the thumb dial and make your way to BULB.

If you're wondering why you would even want to use BULB mode, I use this mode to do long exposure shots at night. It allows me to hold the shutter open for as long as I want, and get cool light-trail effects, which can be seen in the shot below.
