You guys should come out to Meat Camp Road, off 194, near Todd. We have a cabin there, and it's by far one of the prettiest, and curviest roads in the area. I regularly ride it on my motorcycle, and the FR-S. But, there are many fine roads in the area; we're very lucky.

Is there a planning thread for this? Depending on the timing, I could probably make this trip. That's really close to Boone, right?

Not too much to go around in Florida like that, but I have a few secret spots.
Mind posting some of your secret roads? I'm from NE Florida but drive all over the state (for work), especially Orlando, Tampa. Any inside info would be great!

None of my business, but I doubt he will.

Cause if he did, every miata, FR-S/BRZ in Florida would be all over them .... ......

They're mostly farm or back roads a few minutes from where I live that can get curvy and wavy here or there. Nothing special to write home about, but you'll get a few minutes of fun if you push hard enough.

I'm wishing right about now I had the money to build a small racing track

Plenty of land to go around.

Would definitely be up for that, and yes we are very lucky. Would hate to live in the midwest

The Old Spiral Highway above Lewiston ID. They built a new grade that everybody takes, leaving the old highway going down the mountain ripe for enthusiasts. It's truly glorious.

Yeah, it's a long way down so it needs to be well respected. Honestly, I like going up the hill better because it's not as scary. Going down, I sometimes stop halfway down and let my brakes cool off if I'm really going hard at it. I definitely got a spongey pedal in my MR2 once, and it wasn't very comforting.
