The wife, kid and I went up north to visit my family over the weekend and I decided since the weather was nice Monday it would be a good time to try a different route back. The route: [http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s\_d&saddr=Fort+Covington,+NY+12937&daddr=Nicholville,+NY+to:George+St+to:White+Hill+Rd+to:Stark+Rd+to:NY-3+W+to:I-81+S&hl=en&geocode=%3BFb8GqgId6cmM-w%3BFXTpqAIdjmmK-w%3BFeQMqAIdKm2L-w%3BFdlDpgIdqLuK-w%3BFRhHowIdHj-L-w%3BFYd6ngIdB-x4-w&mra=ls&sll=43.96465,-75.840683&sspn=0.182616,0.445976&ie=UTF8&z=9](http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Fort+Covington,+NY+12937&daddr=Nicholville,+NY+to:George+St+to:White+Hill+Rd+to:Stark+Rd+to:NY-3+W+to:I-81+S&hl=en&geocode=%3BFb8GqgId6cmM-w%3BFXTpqAIdjmmK-w%3BFeQMqAIdKm2L-w%3BFdlDpgIdqLuK-w%3BFRhHowIdHj-L-w%3BFYd6ngIdB-x4-w&mra=ls&sll=43.96465,-75.840683&sspn=0.182616,0.445976&ie=UTF8&z=9) And some pictures: ![http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2611/4009340741_8ec78bdf72_b.jpg](http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2611/4009340741_8ec78bdf72_b.jpg) ![http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3069/4009344301_f136a18cd5_b.jpg](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3069/4009344301_f136a18cd5_b.jpg) ![http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2624/4009344829_6ebcafd2bd_b.jpg](http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2624/4009344829_6ebcafd2bd_b.jpg) ![http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2510/4009345437_a580d7075a_b.jpg](http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2510/4009345437_a580d7075a_b.jpg) ![http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2595/4010113576_64307f1da2_b.jpg](http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2595/4010113576_64307f1da2_b.jpg) ![http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2563/4010114034_38de31eb59_b.jpg](http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2563/4010114034_38de31eb59_b.jpg) ![http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2475/4010114662_635a1f84a2_b.jpg](http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2475/4010114662_635a1f84a2_b.jpg) ![http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3484/4010115168_8d6fdb1617_b.jpg](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3484/4010115168_8d6fdb1617_b.jpg) ![http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3481/4010116102_3a4df5d3aa_b.jpg](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3481/4010116102_3a4df5d3aa_b.jpg) ![http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2523/4010117076_86322e71b5_b.jpg](http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2523/4010117076_86322e71b5_b.jpg) ![http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2569/4010117520_bbfda3524b_b.jpg](http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2569/4010117520_bbfda3524b_b.jpg) All 55mph zones, and I caught up with **ONE** car on the entire section of twisty/hilly roads. Followed him for less than 100 feet and found a spot to pass. Probably the single best drive of my driving life. ---

It’s a tough car to beat for a drive like that. Long haul comfortable, handles great, that deep V8 bellow coming out of the corners. I lost track of how many times I got that light in the stomach feeling cresting hills. ---

> [@Motocrossx23](#): > > Were the roads suitable for bikes? > > Gravel? Potholes? Most of it was as smooth as could be. Didn’t notice much gravel but wasn’t really looking for it either. I was moving along pretty quick but no where near the limit with my wife and kid in the car. ---

Looks great Jay. I drove home from New Hampshire a week ago and made a point of taking 2 laners through the green mountains, but I never got into roads like that. Good to see you’re raising the wife and kid right! ---

Looks awesome…My car is about the exact opposite, but I am headed to a pretty sweet spot myself. It’s out in the Western NC mountians off the blue ridge parkway.
