Maps of great drives?
 
I never click on the advertisments but this one on my Yahoo mail got my interest.
Nation of Go - BFGoodrich®

Concept is for all car makes on or off road where you can share your best routes.
It appears to be hosted by BFG tires?
Kinda goes against the policy of keeping the best drives secret from public and enforcement.

I searched around the posted routes but was a bit relieved to see my favorites were not posted. :)

Still it might be a resource if you were looking for a good route outside your local area.

I mapped my favorite backroad drive using a free Blackberry program called GPSed. It overlays the route onto Google maps. Yes there are a precious few twisty roads in KS, but I'm not sharing.:)

The KC BMW club made the mistake of posting their route for a large backroad drive. They were greeted by a significant law enforcement presence, including a helicopter.:eek:

Which is why the map for PCA drives is handed out like b4 the drive... All thats online is a meeting place address.

I have a 1TB SATA drive, but I don't let just anyone map it.

Pashnit.com has a very comprehensive list of nice CA roads. Access aint free anymore, though.

Hmmm, McKenzie Pass-Santiam Pass Scenic Byway. I'm going to have to give that a try one of these days. :)

Northern VA has a lot of great, twisty back roads. They wrap around the Blue Ridge and/or the Shenandoah river valley and mountains. Too many to list.

Oh, I know that scenic route very well - I think we should keep it hush, hush though as we don't want to spoil it for future spirited drives.
