    It looks like the road from Destruction Bay, Yukon Territories to AK, on the Alcan highway--but I know it is not.

    Too many trees, no mountains, and the pavement is really good and unbroken.

    That road is for when you forget to shake your meds before taking them.

    Looks like the "Seven Sisters" near Advance MO. Or the Parton sisters, depending on the turn of mind.

    Default Looks like.....

    That's about the way Jerry Falwell's private airport looked on final!!! It's still there in Lynchburg, VA, but old Jerry is long gone. It's the hilliest little airport I've ever seen, not as many dips as this, but a mean little place.
    If you did this at 80 on your Spyder, I think the gent who metioned Nany going nuts was right on. Be nice to have her lock the brakes as you're about to land on the top of the 3rd mogul.

    Never mind, you had to be there. I make our grandkids listen, but I never know if they are listening or not. Probably ask their parents if they've heard Grampa's latest BS yet.

    Ahhh, U.S. 17.... still, would be nice to know precisely *where* on 17, seeing how long it is. While 17 up here in NoVa is a pretty road, I ain't seen those hills on it (ironically enough, however, US 50 out near Middleburg has some hills that come close to that-- but still, nothing THAT perfect).

    Actually, now that I've thought about it, I wonder if that ISN'T 17 up here in Virginia... seeing as the road goes down the flat tidewater the whole dang way, the only hills like that are likely up near my neck of the woods.

    The weather's lousy this weekend, but maybe next weekend I'll head out that way to see if I can't replicate the photo!

    Remember that a telephoto lens greatly compresses the apparent distance, so the hills in real life will not be as close together as they appear in the photo. I'm sure it is still a nice roller coaster road, but it won't be quite the thrill ride it seems to be.
