    When in my twenties, all of those road trips were memorable. A time for lightness of being!

    Road trips are by far the best! Nice lens and I'm glad to add you to my lensroll. Thanks for sharing!

    Great debate. I love road trips, there are so many places you can go, and I love to get off the main roads and onto the back roads and explore. 5*****

    Great idea for a lens. Some of the best road-trips I have been on have been in America; It is so easy to cover huge distances there, but Europe has some wonderful twisty roads and I have taken some of my old classic cars there in the past. It's difficult to beat the wide open spaces in sub-Saharan Africa in a big 4x4 or the Australian Outback... Oh. I don't know.

    I've had some nice ones around the American West but the most recent was a trip through rural Kentucky, Virginia, the Carolinas last fall.
