I’m not sure if you’re aware of the new App from Porsche called “ Road Trip “. It will generate random routes for you based on your current location. Also, it has a bunch of pre layed out trips with hotels, restaurants etc.
here’s the link for the App on the Apple Store (its also available for android ).

There are so many great roads in western NC/GA - best source is America Rides Maps these were created for motorcycles but every road they consider great has proven to be.

In Utah there are a lot of great roads, but the best is Hwy 12 beginning outside Escalante, UT over the slickrock and then over the Boulder mountains towards Torrey, UT. It's 65 miles between the towns and more than half of that is filled with twisties and elevation changes surrounded by beautiful scenery. In the middle of the drive lies the town of Boulder where it's required to stop for a meal at Hell's Backbone Grill. In the fall and spring the traffic is typically sparse.
Now don't tell anyone else.

Glad you enjoyed it. Next time try these routes.
Starting at Port Jervis continue up 97 North to Lackawaxen PA - you will cross a very cool bridge - The Roebling Bridge, it was John Roebling’s 1st bridge - his 2nd bridge was the Brooklyn. Once you cross the Roebling Bridge follow the map to Hawley, PA - Route 590 is a blast.
From Hawley you can head over to Promise Land State Park - Route 390 is fun, or you can head directly to Dingmans”s Ferry.
if you like more wide open type of roads take 97 North from Port Jervis all the way to Hancock, NY.

In the Chicagoland area we don't have much to talk about. However, if traveling to Lake Geneva below is my route after exiting I-94 at Kenosha. Follow 50 West just past 83 then hang a left at the McDonalds. You can follow the route past Silver Lake and Power Lake for a back way into Lake Geneva. Roads are "ok". Typical Wisconsin. However, an entertaining drive.

Great route Monetthecat, do that one a lot. If you take the exit south of 50 and go west, there is a turnabout which is great fun and it gets a little more hilly as you head towards Lake Geneva. Plus the north/south county roads offer a few twisties and some space with good visibility (no where for police to hide) so you can air it out some. I also go north of 50 a stop or two and head west. Some less traveled options.

My concern with all these wooded drives is deer (or the occasional bear) crossing the road. Without that fear, we could attack some sections with a bit more enthusiasm.
One of the things I liked about a large section of 6 South in NYS was that it was basically cliffs on both sides, so deer crossing the road was a slim possibility. I was on 46N (and then S on the way back) way up near PA yesterday afternoon and there's a short section of that road that is similarly deer-free (unless the deer wander onto that section the long way, which would give drivers plenty of visibility to slow up).
I need to do some track days, I guess.
