Yes Zooke, I did go further, all the way to Fontana resort.
The local guys we hang with know all the backroads, so the thrills are there!!
I think they also have a get-together in April, at Cosby, a short distance away.....even more good roads.
Yes, we should keep in touch as April, and then November comes around. It would be awesome to have 6-10 P-cars chasing each other down to the destination......at the speed limit, of course!

Someone at a monthly meeting of UCR suggested "Mad Maps". They're a great aid when planning drives. Picked up my first at Deals Gap, as well as a motorcycling guide to Nova Scotia!

Pleasure. I have quite a few of their maps now. Each is worth having.
One of my favourite places is Hwy 1 in California. If you ever think of going there, check out this site:
www.pashnit.com
It's a motorcycle site, and the owner is truly inspired and a great photographer.
