Looks like if we can incorporate more upper Maine/NH into the route next year we can spend more time on backroads and less on the interstates. More scenery and twisty back roads would be cool and would maybe keep Avg. speeds <100. But then again, it didn't help much on RT2, did it? : ) We did N. Conyway, past Mt. Washington and followed RT 16 up and around through Maine past Sugarloaf and it was real scenic around all the lakes regions and logging roads.....Just watch out for the crazy Canadian log truck drivers I followed one for bout 20 mi. and he was actually tipping the trailer up on its outside wheels in the turns with a full load of logs on the flat bed..

I am game for some of those roads...
Back roads may attract less cops as well, no tickets is a good thing...
I am also game for any raceway ... (but am a bit partial to Road America)

I should get off my lasy ass and find the old backroads through CT routes I used to have... Nothing but CT... Backroads... Driving "Spirited" took 4 hours to complete the maps... Without ever ONCE getting onto a highway.
