Where to go for stargazing/driving?
Hi all, I moved down here a few months ago and just bought a car so I can finally start exploring. The thing is, I don't know where to go. I really enjoy driving and just getting away from people and civilization, but I don't know where to start here and I'm worried about…
Best nearby town for a Sunday drive?
Where do folks go when they want to get out of town, avoid the stop and go of 17, Ashley Phosphate, downtown...etc. and just drive? I'm not talking about straight-aways for straight line speed; I mean a nice windy, twisty road to go on without much traffic.
