Estes Park, CO. all the way. Love the Rockies, clean air - kayaking, hikeing, ATV'ing, rafting, panning for gold... legal bud Space to get away from people - nice massive wide-open space to put everything in perspective... Plus, driving a mountain road with sheer cliffs even at a safe speed will pucker you up. Safe travels!

Some of you guys that ride may already know about this site but I ran across it today.

Motorcycles Roads

People post routes to take. I’ve been looking for something like this for my area. I figure bikes and vettes like the same types of roads.

Ok so I'll give you an update on our trip to Arkansas. Arkansas is a beautiful state with some great roads for a Corvette drove the pig trail road which was alot of fun. We stayed at the haunted Crescent hotel in Eureka springs old hotel but really cool to stay at. Next we went to Petit jean state park which was my favorite place of the trip absolutely a beautiful place. Great trails to walk and great lodge to stay at. Next we headed down to Hot Springs and we stayed at the the old Arlington hotel . All in all it was a great trip. Great roads for sports cars I had alot of fun driving the roads. The only concern I had was if I broke down in this part of the country it might have been a real challenge to either to get a tow or a place to get it fixed. Although the car ran great I was very happy with its performance on this trip. Great trip if your looking for fun roads and beautiful country Arkansas was a great pick. Thanks all for your help and comments.

I followed your link, and now I'm a member. Thanks!

Yesterday afternoon, I took one of their loops, up in northern Maryland. Lots of fun. Gave the Wave to two other Corvettes.

(On edit: Did Texas manage to avoid the "township and range" land-management survey system?)
