Would it be a "great drive" if you'd never drive it yourself? If so, I should think Rajasthan would have some impressive sites along the road, what with all the forts and such. And I forgot how I've always wanted to do the drive in Chilean Patagonia and see all those... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (CliftonMEM) http://europetogo.yuku.com/sreply/101513 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 22:41:34 GMT http://europetogo.yuku.com/reply/101478/t/Drives-of-a-lifetime.html#reply-101478 North Island, New Zealand
Pacific Coast Highway, California

All that said, I agree with Cliff.

I will point out that they were apparently trying to get away from JUST scenery with this particular list of drives, when they listed "interesting and offbeat". The Brandywine drive is more about the history of the area than just the scenery.

Mt. Hood

I've done all or at least a fair part of the California drive, the Florida Keys, Finger Lakes, the Mississippi river, the mid-Atlantic and the Rocky Mountains drives.

That has been touted as scenic and gorgeous; I didn't think it was that terrific. Other parts of the highway route were much prettier. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Meesthare) http://europetogo.yuku.com/sreply/101452 Mon, 29 Jun 2009 11:30:11 GMT http://europetogo.yuku.com/reply/101451/t/Drives-of-a-lifetime.html#reply-101451

How many have you done, at least partially?

I've done parts of 3 of them:
The Vermont cheese trip, the Finger lakes in NY, and the Brandywine Valley.
