I love these threads. Thanks for posting. It’s always so cool to see all the neat places in this country you’d otherwise never hear about (and the cars always help too)!
I really want to pick my next car up from the PDC in South Carolina and do a mini road trip back to Chicago with it, stopping at sights along the way. One day… |

Amazing write up. I enjoyed every picture and the captions were just enough to inform without bogging the flow of the trip. We'll done sir.

Spectacular pictures and excellent write up! Love these road trips - now inspiring me to plan our next road trip in the states from blighty. Unfortunately the M5C doesn't travel well so it will have be American muscle! |

i love these posts! a kindred spirit! I've got over 19K miles on my X3MC in a year from road trips. These days I use a windshield-mounted GoPro and record the driving experience on the most scenic parts - lets me re-live the drive.
You might want to look into picking up a drone. Lots of fun to get aerials as you park on the side of the road. |

Thank you for sharing the trip. My wife has converted this midwestern boy into a Californiaphile, and you've given me some great ideas for stops on our next trip out there. Really appreciate it.

Lunch at Ventana, nice! We skipped it on our leg through Big Sur last week-so of course now I'm jealous and must redo the section.
