This!
 

Is why I take the back roads anytime I go places. Went to my son's place to visit, about a two hour drive. Plenty of highways, expressways, and interstates to take, but I can't stand traffic anymore, and stupid people.

Takes a bit longer but it is so more of an enjoyable ride. I'm at a point now I don't need to get from point A to point B in the quickest time, so my ride is about 1/3 highway, 2/3 back roads.

Some pics taken during different segments of the trip back home.

No traffic.

beautiful roads! its the best part of our country to drive through.

Nice pics! Sometimes the quickest way is not the best...

When I took my 4 year sabbatical from working, I did a lot of driving (350,000 miles in a few cars combined). Took the back roads at every opportunity, including crossing the US from Atlanta to Seattle while only driving 50 miles on an Interstate I was forced on to heading into Utah. That included taking dirt roads as well in my SUV, though I mostly avoided that in my Corvette or Camaro.

This is one example of a recent trip back from an In n' Out Burger run down to Medford. Surely beats taking I5.

Steve you have had some beautiful cars and I have always enjoyed your videos and photos!

Norm, thanks for sharing. I agree with you guys, love the back roads. When I head from Indy to Bowling Green for Camarofest, it will be back roads. It adds time, but the view makes up for it.

Very nice :clap:

I know what you mean.
