Hi All, here's another thought for Great Roads. Try the Ozark
mountains of Arkansas and southern Missouri. There's plenty to enjoy
year-round as we have four distinct seasons here. Try out great
destinations like Branson Mo or Eureka Springs Arkansas. Check out the
Buffalo National River...the list of outstanding Healey roads is
practically endless. I've been on other great roads out west where the
scenery is so vast about all I could seem to do was admire it as a
spectator. The difference of the Ozarks is that it's compact enough
that one actually PARTICIPATES in the scenery. Just my 2-cents-worth.

....And now for something completely different....
Thought I would try to start a thread that might get us off the "Value"
issue a bit. I was sitting here looking out the window at a foot and a
half of snow, and thinking about the first drive in the Healey I would
like to take, this spring.
Years ago, I traveled several times from Bangor ME down to a small
coastal town called Jonesport, near Machias (in Maine). The back road
between the two points was a freshly paved two-lane blacktop that wound
around the hills and hugged the contours of the numerous small lakes and
ponds along the way. It was called "Blacks Woods Road" and the
challenging drive was at least an hour of spirited driving, along
switchbacks and s curves. This road was known by those in the area as a
favorite cruise, and I was wondering if anyone on the list is familiar
with it, and if it is still the same.
I also thought that while a lot of us are freezing our lug nuts off, it
might be enjoyable to hear about some of the best Healey day trip
routes, good places to stop along the way (food, sights), great
destinations, as we prepare for the spring thaw...
As an example, has anyone on the list ever taken their Healey to the top
of Mt Washington?
