Our cabin is in a National Forest and there are a ton of gravel roads. Even some slower speeds can be fun in a little car or truck. Rally Stage!

Beautifully paved then abandoned in 2007 courtesy of the housing bubble burst. I always make sure to bring a friend and only one car is "hot" at a time and parties are always left with our itineries as far as how long we plan on being there. I understand not wanting to share details of a location if some would rather share just descriptions, photos or videos from their secret spot. And I understand the risk of sharing mine, but have chosen to do so anyways, as drifting isn't popular on this board. so my favorite is: https://exg5.exghost.com/owa/redir.aspx?C=fxhFoJBAik-z69cbLNhmrMqwqPKASdJIBXO9xiRt4FmWsmAIqzcIg-kK9e-9jjsebKWkZeZwpkU.&URL=https%3a%2f%2fwww.google.com%2fmaps%2fplace%2fThrone%2bRd%2c%2bFawn%2bGrove%2c%2bPA%2b17321%2f%4039.7907219%2c-76.4562011%2c1380m%2fdata%3d!3m1!1e3!4m2!3m1!1s0x89c87f62422fcef1%3a0x631111cd734f58f0
You have a duty to buy this place and the surrounding land and preserve it as hoonigan central
In reply to Adrian_Thompson:
I have reached out to the property owner regarding purchase and actually have a business plan drafted involving karting 3 weekends a month, leaving one open for fun.
I learned to "drive" in an unbuilt development behind my house. From the air, it was a huge capital P.
In a good snow, my Ranger spent .01% of that 3/4 mile going straight.
I credit it to this day for my ability to drive in really bad weather and recover from a slide.
I had a favorite little used state highway that has lots of curves.
Now it is too bumpy to be fun anymore.

Just hope you don't mind a bit of dirt and a lot of rock-chips in your rear fenders. You can connect the roads and turns together into pretty much any course configuration you can imagine.
Did they plan that before Californians realized they lacked the water to turn the desert green?
In reply to yamaha:
Pretty well everything from LA down used to be desert. If they shut off the Colorado, it'd be again.....
I just got a speeding ticket on my fun road trip route: MO-79. Thank god Missouri believes in "give us more money and that speeding ticket was really just defective equipment."
Worth it.
I thought I had some fun back roads around me. Then I come into this thread and realize they all suck. Thanks, GRM.
There are rumors that the corners on the access roads around my high school had numbers ranging from 1 to 13. None of those rumors have been confirmed by reliable witnesses.

Now that's a driver's road!
I hooned on one of the dirt roads near my house, nothing special. I messed up one of my drifts, and went into a ditch. I just high centered the car over the edge, no damage to my 328i. The residents of that road were pissed, I believe some of it was because a brotha was "tearing up" their road. I did find out that they pay out of pocket to get it maintained, so I felt a little bad, but I could have fixed my drift marks in about 15 mins and a bucket of dirt from somewhere else. I was only doing three drifts around the 90 degree turns per session. The tow truck driver that pulled me out said that all the dirt roads are privately owned in the area, so no hooning (practically) for me.
Here's my somewhat more local option. It's very popular with bicyclists and deer so responsibility is mandatory. The main stretch also doesn't have a posted speed limit, meaning it's legally 55.
I've also driven this multiple times back to back. The lady walking her dog laughed and waved every time.
