    I've driven it a few times (but I flew to NC). Love Ashville. NC truly makes TX look like ****.

    Ugh, one problem with streaming services is sometimes they play the same 3 commercials over and over. Or maybe it's just CNBC, I don't know. But that song is played over and over, and I don't even remember what the ad is for. lol. From googling, it may be USPS. No clue. I guess it isn't working.

    That's awesome. Makes me want to go there even more. lol. Keep your track toys on the track. Or at least be nice and fly off the edge of the cliff without causing a traffic jam.

    My family just drove some of it around Asheville On the way to the smoky mountains. It was nice but definitely can be slow


    We went from there to rafting the pigeon river then hung outside gatlinburg and spent time in the park

    avoid gatlinburg unless you like tourists from Walmart

    Was in a Ruf Porsche doing a 100 down Memorial Parkway once. That was cool.

    If you love MDH, then I recommend beartooth highway in Montana/Wyoming, Going to the Sun Road in GNP and The Icefields parkway in Alberta.

    Icefields Parkway from Banff to Jasper was the fastest 5 hours of my life...meaning...it was that beautiful. The scenery changed every 30 secs it felt like...
    I've driven all over New Zealand and I would argue Icefield Parkway is better bang for the buck.

    I had to to go to work for a while in Calgary and drove from there to Banff with a co-worker for the hell of it. That's still the coolest drive I think I've ever taken. We would've gone further but had to head back home.... to .... Dallas... the next day. :(

    I still would love to live in New Zealand, I think. *sigh* Would rather live there than Canada ... just for the weather, probably. Don't want any Calgary winters. lol.

    Calgary to Banff is not bad but the beauty starts just north of Banff..

    I have driven it going to Charlottesville and Stanton from Richmond.

    It might be the most scenic drive I have ever had, it's amazing looking down on the Forrest, it's like a mega-sized cornfield just trees as far as the eye can see it's hard to take your eyes off, I just kept thinking what does it look like under the trees.

    Nature is amazing.
