Lumberman,
Boy are you correct about that. We go up to the Weaverville car show nearly every year just for the fun of driving the roads in that area. I haven't even been over all of them yet as there are so many going off in all directions. I also like Lassen Park but there is usually a lot of traffic in the park itself so that sort of does away with some of the fun if you wnat to drive a little hard. Also some nice drives up around Mt. Shasta.
