The way Driver3's Monte is parked looks like how the State Patrol cars sit on the side of a road to fish for speeders uh, monitor traffic, right.

Voted!
"Snab Jones" has gotten me a few times. This shot is up on Neb. Hwy 92 about half way between the Town of Stromsburg and Central City. There were a few shots I would have liked to take but couldn't stop there. So this mediocre one was all I could get.

It is pretty nice out here for sure, so much. Zion's, Moab, Salt Flats etc. etc.

As a child my folks took a trip from California back to the State of Iowa and Dad always worked in some sights along the way, I remember the Great Salt Lake when it looked like an Ocean. We drove on Hwy 30 before I-80 was done.
Sometimes I get lucky!! But we have had the chance to go a few places in the last 3 years, like Zion, Grand Canyon, Moab, (Black Canyon......eeh! don't go out of your way for that one), Tetons, Yellow stone.

This is the way to do it I saw 4 States at the same time!?!?!

That might work for the Ladies but not me. I got a ticket back in 06 cost me a $100.00 the trooper recognized me. He saw me at a charity event to benefit officers. He asked me all about it and still gave me a ticket. I was in a 65 going to a 60 but was 5 over in the 65. So he said 10 over. it was a vascar thing had I known more about, that I would have fought the thing on reaction time.


The best one was driving home one night in December on I-80 I was pushing it along and one was in the median. He hit the flashers and I went to pull over and got clear over in the grass on the shoulder, Well the grass was frosty and there was a drop off on the edge. One Trooper came up to the window on my side the other was on the passenger side. The one on the passenger side lost his footing and I heard a thump. Now the guy in my window was about to bust out laughing, he told me to slow it down a go on. I have no idea how far down the banking the other guy went?!

It's a tougher vote than the poll results are showing. If we are judging the road itself (literally), I think Keane found the best one. It looks like an awesome drive. But those canyon walls in Zippy's are breathtaking majestic. Ominous and exciting. The car don't look shabby either

Good job guys - good luck!
