Whats your Favorite Road??

I was wondering what everyones favorite road to drive on was.

Mine is up pretty close to PA in Andover NJ, you take I-80 down to exit 19 and go to the general store and hang a left keep going down to the intersection (the ride to the intersection is alright but not as good as when you get their) once you get the intersection and turn wherever and just drive in the open farm road, my favorite is to the left it has an amazing drive.

Also where do you guys track your car, if you do track your car of course.

Not too far from NJ for a day drive! Here in PA ....Kings Highway from Rt 663 (South West of the Quakertown Turnpike exit) to Route 100/29 (the 1st half-mile of this is a little bumpy). Then onwards on 100 to Game Preserve Road off of Rt 100 above Fogelsville (Lehigh Valley) from 100 back to the Allentown Zoo (outside reserve and picnic areas). Lots of positive cambered twisties to a nice location to spend an afternoon.

River Road between Manville and the Princeton area. I used to take it to work every morning and it made the commute so much more fun.

I figured we could start posting links to googlemaps so we could figure out how to get to these places, NJ is annoying enough to navigate when you know where your going

here's the place in allamuchy

Avery Road, Rockvile, from Norbeck to Muncaster Mill, when no one else is on it. Only problem is, it's too short.

There are a lot of little roads that run back off 537 below Jackson. it is like building a puzzle, short stretch here and there put them altogether and you can make a morning.

The one less traveled

followed closely by

The one that goes on forever where the party never ends.

This weekend we took the road that connects Fredricksburg to Enchanted Rock in the Texas Hill Country. That was pretty nice. Moderately twisty and narrow, not too many wildflowers yet (we've had a debilitating drought these last six months), but pleasant and top down weather to boot!

The cattle guards in the road were a little discomforting, but a nice road nonetheless.

There are very few things Jersey is good for. One of them is not roads without potholes. However were not as bad as PA. However twisty and narrow roads jersey is famous for. Any road around Princeton is garunteed fun. Only problem is some of them are well patroled by the greediest police officers in the planet. Same with West and East Winsdor. Lawrenceville has many great roads and even most of them are pothole free. and hardly ever patrolled same with the Hopewell Area which runs along Princeton. All of these are central jersey. If you wish exact road names I will be glad to offer some as soon as I remember their names. I no longer live near priceton so many of the names have escaped me.Pennington and flemington are also full of many great long roads that are hardly patrolled only problem its easy to get lost on them. My suggestion is take a look on yahoo maps or mapquest and just zoom in and see the types of roads they are. Most state roads that are not highways or big interstates such as RT.1 Or RT.31 and such are usually good sure bets. Most police officers travel the more travel roads a great influx of people and profits there. One suggestion is althought Lambertville and New Hope are full of awsome roads I wouldnt suggest any speeding there or in west winsdor known from personal experiances. Someone mentioned 539 near jackson and such that road at night around 12 am and so its the ultimate road very rarily traveled by police and its one of the longest twisty and fun roads I have ever driven. I used to travel from Allentown NJ to Matawan and took that road most of my trip til I got to 71 or 70 whatever it was and at late night in my RX-7 I could easily hit 120 and not see but a few cars here and there. It also has alot of passing areas thrown in even tho most of the time the road is one lane each way.
