In N.Y. you have Rt. 218 that runs through West Point which runs along
the Hudson river, Rt.97, a section called the Hawks Nest is rather
nice... It runs along the Delaware River. Rt. 44/55 running through
Orange county. Rt.23 which runs through northern N.J. A couple of
really nice roads near New Paltz that run through a state park and the
famous Mohonk Mountain House. Plenty of roads that are great for cars
as well a motorcycles.

I can see it now.
John goes out for a nice run on his favorite piece of highway and sees
Mustangs all over the place.

The drive to Eureka is phenominal.

I think the road from Monterey to Big Sur is more eye-popping than SF to SC
(and pretty empty before noon). Tight curves, long curves, cliffs, rocks,
ocean. Probably everyone has seen the slender white curved bridge before.
It's in many TV commercials.

The couple I sold the 66 FB to wants to come up when he has it
finished and make the coast drive Canada to Mexico. I haven't told
them about the 65FB, so when they show, after the surprise, we may
make it a two car trip.

South of Eureka is Fortuna, where every year they have a BIG classic
car meet among all the Victorian homes, etc.

And leaving out of Fortuna, you enter the Lost Coast region (where the
coast highway cuts inland around a big chunk of coast) on the way to a
place called Oildale. Two lane, mostly paved, seldom used, up into the
fog one minute, and down into a lush green valley the next.

I sorta like the turnpike going through Syracuse.... but only for the
free deer meat courtesy of those 18 wheelers... LOL

Going from NYC north there are some nice coastal stretches, but it
gets really fantastic along the Maine coast and over to Campabello
area, the up the river along the Canadian border, especially in the
fall.

Out west there was a stretch of road if I rmember correctly it was highway
4.
It went from the valley up to Angels Camp.

Out here, nowhere so far. Haven't really had an opportunity to look around
much. That and the other drivers kind of give me the heebie jeebies. You can
be approaching a turn and find the oncoming car in your lane heading right
at you. That and the TST every 1/4 mile.

This spring I hope to get her out a bit and look around.
