I moved here from Metro-West Boston, where I grew up, a few years ago.
M-W had too much friggin traffic and we have a huge dam here in town.

I just took a ride around backroads in Lancaster & Sterling (neighboring towns) after picking up my midnight munchies at CF.
About 12 leisurely miles put my mpg up to 30.2 and I saw a devil deer!
Her eyes shone red when I took a corner and she ambled off into the woods before I could see any pointy horns or a speared tail.
One of the roads I passed has a tiny field that I saw at least 9 deer at once one night.
It usually has a few in it so I can always show off to friends.
It's nice being so close to farmlands and deep woods.
I drive through M-W every once in a while so I can get cut-off by frustrated people that hate living/working there just to remind myself how bad it sucked.

Take the drive through Acadia Park while you're up they-ah and stop to check out the views from Cadillac Mountain.

We went swimming at the beach there on our honeymoon 7 years ago early July.
The water temp was 52° but most parts of you get used to it after a few minutes.
Other parts don't.

 

Here are 5 deer behind a cool car in Harvard, Mass

I finally replaced my broken intercooler today.
Of course I had to take a 365 mile road trip to make sure it's good.
It is

I drove up and across NH past Lake Winnipesaukee to Rt. 160 in Kezar Falls, Maine.
I drove North up 160 about 10-12 miles to a sign that said "Hey John, Conway NH is this way".
Rt. 160 is a windy, twisty, hilly rural route with foxes scatting from the lights and hiding in the grass. 4 legged foxes.
The back roads were more of the same and the signs directing to Conway were well placed.
Altogether totally enjoyable.
Then down to the Kanc, up & over to Interstate 93 and 150 or so miles home.

430 miles on this tank with plenty to go.
32.8 MPG with the Stage kit.
Awesome.

 

Man, I wish I had some places like that around here. It would be nice to get the missus out for a road trip to see some countryside

 

You have South-West Texas!

There are windy, twisty, hilly rural routes with Mexicans scattering from the headlights and hiding in the grass.

 

We might make the trip later in the year when it's not 100+ outside

 

Mowgli you sir are a driver
Respect, admiration & a little envy is what I have for you my friend

 

<----- THAT my friends should be his avatar!! But agreed, I'd love to go on a ride and just unwind!!

Later

Thanks,
I like to drive.
I'm just doing what I like.

I drove down to Staley, NC in a blizzard to get my dog Carmel.
I saw her online and had to go get her after talking to the pound.
Internet romance at it's finest.
