Uh huh! And just who are you Kate? Officer "Friendly"? I drive that
road almost every weekend, and there's a chance I might just go 1 or 2
MPH over the speed limit on one of those straight stretches, lol! You
think I'm gonna post it's location on the World Wide Web?!!!

Actually, in my original post I stated that it was almost perfect. They
did some mostly unneeded patch repairs in a few spots that make it
unperfect. I suppose the repairs were needed to stop future
degradation, but the patches are worse than the spots were originally.
That's Missouri for ya.

I was hoping this post would bring out some suggestions from the rest of
you, and it did do that. I've written them all down for my new-car road
trip which is still only in the pre-planning stage. Going to have to
take my Pony on some kind of trip soon though.

HWY 60 in southern Missouri has an interesting stretch west of Fremont.
4 lanes, wide sweeping banked hilly curves winding thru the "mountains".

Another fun road in Missouri is HWY 142, going from Doniphan to Thayer.
Thayer is just north of Mammoth Spring, Arkansas, and we went there
tubing a few years back. Was driving the van on that trip, but if
memory serves me correctly it would be fun to drive in the Mustang too.

I remember the entrance road for Devil's Lake State Park South Shore,
near Baraboo, WI. If you like "S" curves this would be heaven. About 1
or 2 miles long, and it's nothing but tight banked "S" curves the whole
stretch.

Also Hwy 395 going up the back side of Sequoia and Yosemite parks
through Ridgecrest, etc, then pick it up again north of Reno.

In WA I liked the run from Tacoma, up through and around Mt Ranier
and back down to I-5.

Oh HELL NO Sam!
LAMO! I was worried about that very thing when locations started flying.
Nope, I am the gal in front of the christmas lights digging for license and
registration, not the one driving the car that they are mounted on.

I was just kiddin' of course, but the way you worded the question almost
sounded like an interrogation, lol!
I've been in front of those Christmas lights a few times myself. One
time back when I was young and stupid I was cruising along I44 in a
Catalina with a big engine. Cop came over the crest of a big hill and
got me with oncoming radar doin' 86MPH. Speed limit was 55 at the time.
When we were standing in front of those "christmas lights" he asked me
where the fire was. I told him it was just the big hills and I didn't
notice how fast I was going. He looked at me, kinda smirked, and said,
"I got you at 86MPH going up that hill near the top. I can just imagine
how fast you were going on your way down the last hill!"
Officer St. Nick then proceeded to write me my Christmas "gift
certificate" and gave me directions to the county seat!

Dang Sam.
I think I have decided that cops set us up when they ask "Do you know how
fast you were going?"

I have pretty much decided that the next time one asks me that I am going to
grin real big and say "Yep! Don't you?"

That question is part of the training, if you answer yes, it can and will be
used against you if you contest the ticket I've used the response "no but
i'm sure you do" with a big smile of course.

Quote from ticketassassin.com http://tinyurl.com/5e5tw

(a great site, by the way, which worked for me once here in CA)

DO YOU KNOW HOW FAST YOU WERE GOING? (OR ONE OF ITS INDIRECT VARIANTS:
WHAT'S THE HURRY? OR DO YOU KNOW THE SPEED LIMIT HERE?)

Analysis: Again, this type of question is trying to make you admit to
breaking the Prima Facie (VC 23352) or Maximum (VC 22349) Speed Law by
stating a specific number (which the officer will record as evidence)
or otherwise admitting to speeding.

BAD ANSWERS: "75." "85." "95." "About your I.Q." "Who knows, the signs
blur out when I pass 100."

BETTER ANSWER: Yes. I was going a SAFE AND REASONABLE speed for
conditions in accordance with the BASIC SPEED LAW (VC 22350).

Well of course we do!!!! Actually.... you set yourselves up for us....
but what the hey..... ya throws the dice or "spins da wheelie" an'
takes yer chances.... LOL And even as a cop... I been there.... 95 in
a 70 on I-5 between Tacoma and SeaTac IAP... . I paid the fine.
