      A few years ago I drove out to Mesa Az in my E39 to see some family.

      On the way home I took this route.

      If you open it in your map app/google maps/etc it does not look as straight as you see here.

      Some of THE most beautiful roads I'd ever driven!!!

      Switchbacks, canyons, scenic vistas, barely any traffic. I sound like a travel agent!!!

        I'll also add Phoenix is a beautiful area. The drive from New Mexico gets better as you hit the divide.

          Straight6dan knows whats up listen to him! (And if you pass through UT I can be your tour guide or potentially help you out with some connections if you find yourself in a jam).

          Chris is correct about Yellowstone but im going to disagree with him on mesa/phoenix. Very nice freeway to drive on but not much to do besides melt in the summer. In the winter its awesome for the fact that your testicular region isnt frozen to your inner thigh and you can pick oranges n stuff, its relative beauty is low on the totem pole for southwestern standards

            Back on the road! Ate some good food in Denver and drank lots of good beer, but it's time to get going again. Had an interview over the phone for a lab technician job at ETC in Middleton Friday morning, and the took off. Did Pikes Peak, which I was super stoaked about, and it didn't dissapoint. Some people don't seem to realize they're on a racetrack though. They drive like it's some tourist destination or something. :lol: Also did Skyline Drive in Canon City which was pretty cool. It's a one lane road that runs over a long narrow crest, so it drops off on both sides. Even though I can't really afford it, I've decided to head west to see some redwoods and drive highway 1. Should be fun.

                  Just saw my first corn field since I don't even remember when. It's all hay fields and grazing land out here.

                  I think I'll be zig-zagging between UT and AZ, but don't have any plans to head too far south.

                              Shortened strut tubes with shorter VW Golf inserts and ground control. I'm jealous of the way his car looks for sure. Someday I'll do coilovers. It's been on my list from the start, I've just had other priorities so far.

                                Taking forever to get through Utah. There's just too much too do and see. I did Arches National Park, Canyonlands National Park and Bryce Canyon. The terrain surreal and otherworldly and it changes constantly as you travel through it. Tons of great pics on my camera, but not much on my phone. Here's a couple quick snaps from two of the campsites I stayed at:

                                    Arches and Canyonlands are right near Moab. First pic is from the colorado river canyon right behind arches, and the second is from in canyonlands. Hiking myself to death. Did a 2.7 mile trail with 1400ft of elevation change straight down (and then back up) a canyon wall yesterday, so driving/resting mostly today Looking to camp in or near great basin tonight.

                                          I have biked up that ridge behind your car in the first pic.

                                          Its close to the Potash plants
