Hey gang! Well, cabin fever of sorts is setting in around here - the block for Dad's new engine is away at the machine shop, and it's been so blistering hot with fierce pop-up thunderclouds that getting the cars out the last week or so has been near impossible. (Except to test my new carb yesterday - very nice!) So, I've been pondering highways & byways, browsing the web, Rand McNally, and DeLorme...
So, I thought I'd pose the question to all on the board: What are some of your "dream drives" for you and your Unique? It may be a route you've already driven, one that you're planning to drive, or one that you may never drive, but you still find your mind ruminating on just before you drift off to sleep. It might be a highway, a race track, a cross-country rally, or who knows what!
To kick us off, here are a few of mine, in no particular order:
1) Tail of the Dragon/US 129 - we're actually planning to make this run on our way to Pigeon Forge this year during midweek.
2) Going to the Sun Road - in Glacier National Park (I think). Saw it on TV a few months ago, have been fascinated with it ever since.
3) Blue Ridge Parkway - in mid to late fall, with plenty of misty mornings requiring sweaters & jackets, and the musty smell of rotting leaves in the curves & hollows.
4) Big Horn Mountains & Yellowstone - in early June, while there's still snow on the ground, but the roads are clear and the coffee's hot.
Well, that's a start. There are plenty of other jaunts I'd love to take - some possible, and some just way out there. I might list more tomorrow. BUT, in the meantime - WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR DREAM COBRA TRIPS???
