While I totally agree with the above, I was quite taken with the Cabot Trail in Nova Scotia. Or, the road across Vancouver island toward Ucluelet and Tofino.

Again, agree with both... I'd like to add the Icefields Parkway heading toward Jasper. > >> 2. My favorite campground ---- don't have one- they all rock > > Just south of Ft. Ross, CA.

My vote is Gold Bluffs State Park off Davison Road near Orick Ca.

Love Howard's... got lots of plastic cups from there. I think my favorite is a bar/restaurant I can't remember the name of in Eastsound on Orcas Island.
