**\*\*\*I tried searching under a few topics to see if this was made already. I apologize if it was.\*\*\*** What’s your favorite stretch of road? Can be for just a Sunday cruise or to really put your car through its paces. The section of Route 22 from Route 295 to Route 23 in Columbia county along the Mass border has to be one of my favorites. It has some really good long straight aways, as well as some sweeping corners. (Especially by Green River) It goes up and down some hills. Giving you an excellent view of the scenery. This is a great road to travel in Autumn. You can pack the Family or the just the Woman in the car and have a good drive as well as give them some good scenery to look at. Or you can just travel it yourself for those good alone drives. The road is not of “great” shape. But this is not a drive on the moon. The best time like I said, is Autumn to drive it. The vacationers are gone, the road is mostly empty, the weather is pretty much perfect, and the colors of the leaves add to the feel. This is written in full “no homo”. So if you are ever in the area or get to Lebanon early, just head south. I guarantee you will not be disappointed. ![http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d32/omega02379/favoriteroad.jpg](http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d32/omega02379/favoriteroad.jpg) What is your favorite stretch of road in the 518? ---

I like route 66 out by the Hollywood drive in. Not much for straight aways but if you want a road with some hair raising turns that just keep comin at ya, its got what you want. ---

I dont really have a favorite road to cruise the Mustang on but I always liked to cruise out on route 20 west with no destination in mind back when gas was cheap. I havent done that in several years. ---
