I take back roads when possible. A few days ago I had to get from Ft. Walton Beach, FL to the Atlanta airport....I could have went out of my way and taken freeway most of the trip. Instead, I stayed on back roads 2/3 of the distance, getting on the freeway at Auburn, AL...My route was the same time, less miles and traveled thru rolling hills, new pavement, and interesting little towns.....

We're amateurs in our buffoonery compared to drivers in the Middle East, especially the wealthier ME countries. THAT's an interesting place to drive...
