Road Pics

Gorgeous pics, Guibo!

Definately, desrving of some positive rep.
Hwy1 and especially the Marin roads were the routes I was trying to describe earlier.
North of the GG Bridge is great natural beauty and fantastic winding ( but not to twisty for US cars ) roads. Do you have any of south and Half Moon Bay area. I enjoyed driving around there too.

Thanks guys.
Matra, both the Hwy 1 pics were taken south of SF. 1st one is about 10 miles north of San Luis Obispo, 2nd one about 5 miles south of Half Moon Bay. From SF to Monterey, it's a pretty mellow drive, some straights as long as 2 miles if not more.
North of SF is phenomenal. Snaky, and billiard-table smooth. There are dozens of one-lane, really hairy roads that branch off of Hwy 1 into the mountains, which branch into dozens if not hundreds of other twisties. Definitely Caterham heaven. Bit too dangerous to drive with one hand on the wheel (and the other working the camera. ).

Been there, done it, BUT the pics are on 35mm slides so I can't share them here (yet).
HIGHLY recommend anyone who goes to SF on business or vacation should take a weekend each to explore north and south of the city. As Guibo says, GREAT roads. Shame about the rental cars
Another favourite of mine is Washington State - maybe coz the mountains are very like Scotland in climate and beauty. Great roads and courteous truck drivers who would pull over if you'd followed them on the twisties ( I think it was law )

I took a sudden trip to Florida on Saturday to visit my ailing grandfather, drove down mostly at night so no good pics, but I drove back from Lakeland (near Tampa) to Raleigh yesterday, 655 miles in just under ten hours.
1) Junction of Interstates 4 and Interstate 95, near Daytona
2) I-95 northbound at LPGA Blvd, Daytona Beach
3 & 4) The city of my birth, Jacksonville, Florida, seen from I-95 northbound passing over the St. Johns River

1) I-95 northbound, crossing Lake Marion in Eastern Georgia.
2) View out the side of Lake Marion, looking east
3 & 4) I-95 Northbound, North Carolina, about 7 miles north of the North Carolina / South Carolina state line. The southbound lanes were completely shut down due to a bad wreck which I had just passed. This backup stretched for several miles.

You gotta come to seattle!!!

Second that.

Well not the city but the roads over to the East of the state over the mountains. GREAT. Made me want to ride a bike ( but only H-Ds around so that was quickly ignored )
