Nickel Posted December 29, 2021 Report Share Posted December 29, 2021 Whether it's cross-country or to and from the store, do you have a favorite driving route? In California, there's a curvy stretch of northbound I-280, north of Palo Alto, where you drive between towering green hills on the right and Crystal Springs reservoir on the left. Sometimes there's fog above it all. I love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SableC. Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 No, I really don't. I haven't even thought of it. I enjoy driving and find it relaxing, but I always stick to the interstate when I can. I don't pay much attention to the landscape either. I'm more or less on a mission to get there. Your route sounds nice, though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickel Posted February 7, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 Even if the drive-by scenery isn't that great, one thing I love about being on the road is checking out music playlists. I do this way more while driving than when I'm doing anything else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SableC. Posted November 21, 2022 Report Share Posted November 21, 2022 I do like to make the most of it by catching up on audiobooks and podcasts. That's probably my favorite way to pass the time while I'm on the road. However, I recently took a trip to Alabama and the leaves were beautiful and the sky was a brilliant shade of blue. I made an extra effort to be present in the moment and enjoy the scenery. I also love driving through Atlanta with their towering buildings and interesting architecture. Christmas is coming up. It might be a great time for a road trip to take in the decorations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G R Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 (edited) In Arizona, I have two favorites: I-17 between Sedona and Flagstaff, and I-40 in the Seligman area. The former for its Ponderosa pines and the latter for its Juniper fields. I love the greenery. I was passing through that area a few years ago early one morning in the winter. There was a light snowfall covering the ground and the tops of the Junipers, with a blanket of fog over it all. It all took on an otherworldly look. Some would call it spooky, I thought it was beautiful. Fun fact: Arizona is home to the largest Ponderosa Pine forest in the world, covering roughly 3 million acres. I consider myself fortunate to be able to pass through the majestic nature of it all from time to time. Edited January 28 by G R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
