Default Favorite drives/roads. Particularly PA

I think I'm gonna just go for a drive tomorrow cuz I miss my monte. What are you favorite rods to drive on, especially in the Philly, PA area.

I usually just drive on Route 23, but always get stuck behind someone that insits the speedlimit is 15 mph lower than it is. At least its a fun road. What are your favorites?

I know you said PA, but there is a road called "dresden rd" and thats prbably my favorite. For sure not worth driving from PA to IL just to go down a 3 MI road though LOL. Ive been waiting for a time to post a video of it, maybe Ill get to that tonight??

i run river road every day, a super nice ride would be from milford down 209 to river road, then down to delaware water gap and follow route 611 through portland down to easton. easton kinda sucks but 611 gets nice again just past easton, going down to reagalsville. i love that drive!

We should do a group Monte ride there sometime and all stop somewhere to eat, maybe where that ice cream place is. I forget it's name.

Yes! The red shack, we would sit in the outside seating section. It's on a corner right? By a crossover bridge? I am pretty sure that is it...

I prefer to stay out of PA and off it's roads. LOL

I-80 isn't too bad. We had a deer walk right infront of us in 2002 on the way to Debbie's cousins funeral and just stand in our lane. Nothing we could do but completely stop and Pray the person behind us did too. Even the trucker in the lane next to us came to a complete stop so as to not kill the deer.

In 1995 we were planning on attending Deb's cousins wedding. We thought going I-70 to rt 119 was the way to go. (BIG mistake) We got lost in Greensburg (little did we know we weren't far from John Harvey's house at time. It was past midnight by the time we got to the Dubois area. It turned foggy, and 119 get's a big curvey. Neither of us had ever been on this road before in our lives.
