Everybody knows about Florida's beaches, but we've got some really beautiful backroads, too. During our stormy afternoon I snapped a few pics, but I wish I was a better photographer!

Anyone else addicted to finding deserted, curvy roads? Got pics?

Yes sir. Skyline Drive and Bear Mountain (?). I went up there one day with some folks. It was beautiful.

After my date with cardboard and a carport ,rt.6 to the bear mountian bridge is always the perfect night cap . If you make it past the wall the metro north guys will find you in the morning - you might be ok they start at 7]

Grew up in the foothills of the "Dandenongs" in Victoria, now I live in Ohio where you can see 100 miles ahead of you while cruising. I so miss those nice rambling rides through the mountains.

We have a couple of curvy back roads here in AL but not as many as there were in the Carolinas when I lived there.

MitchellC--

It's the roads around the orange groves and ranches south of Sebring and Zolfo Springs. Rare unknown roads in an overcrowded state!

BobOfTheFuture--

Yep, I get lucky every once in a while with a snapshot. "Nuclear Miata" because of the radioactive symbol on the front of the car.

You know, there's nothing like a sportscar or motorcycle on a nice country backroad. I thought for sure that other people would chime in with some cool photos...

Hey aussie, that's where I live at the moment. Here's some crappy, unexciting, in-car footage I whipped up to accompany my Ebay ad. The surrounds ought to look familiar to you, though - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTXIBQtJGHc

Mt.Dandenong roads are excellent, but you have to chose your times wisely, else you end up stuck behind a peleton of lycra-clad cyclist types, or some dawdling tourist in a rented Hyundai.
