-
There is nothing that brings a family together quite like a road trip. Getting the family together in the car and going where the road may lead is a joyous and memorable experience.
-
At this site will be posted links to destinations accessible by getting in the car and following the open road.
-
Where applicable I will give comments on personal experience.

I have put the National Trails System here because I believe it can go along side the National Scenic Byways as another thing that can be seen on road trips. After all...doesn't the road touch certain points of the trail.
