The road, Hines Drive, starts in Dearborn, just west of Detroit. Some of my pictures from other posts were taken from places along this road.<br />-<br /><br />Mother Goose - You obviously had a big car and a small town. It sounds like a wonderful combination for a drive like this.<br />-<br /><br />Lauren - Drives like this are fun aren't they? You should go on a nice drive as soon as you can. It's sometimes as good as taking a hike.<br />-<br /><br />Sharkbytes - Me too. My family always did the same thing. My mom loves this kind of thing too. Being lost is sometimes one of the best parts.<br />-<br /><br />Rainfield - That blue sky is the reason I used that picture first. I love it too. I'm glad you noticed it.<br />-<br /><br />Betchai - That's how I do it too. This time was mostly a discovery drive. I'll go back and probably stop at every place along the way.<br />-<br /><br />Ginnymo - I thought of you when I wrote the post. I'm glad you liked the ride.<br />-<br /><br />SquirrelQueen - Exactly, seeing all that nature going past is one of the greatest feelings. <br /><br />I've been curious about Douglas Squirrels. I'll definitely take a look at them.<br />-<br /><br />The Retired One - I usually do it that way too. This time was late Sunday afternoon so the park was very crowded. I'll make more stops when the place is a little emptier than it was.Rick (Ratty)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04062449024949497557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637168036712963543.post-7786232803664240602009-06-01T19:16:48.998-05:002009-06-01T19:16:48.998-05:00We do a combination...we ride on some really rural...We do a combination...we ride on some really rural woods roads, and if I see something interesting, we stop and get out and hike a bit and take photos and then come back to the car and continue doing the same thing. That's how I found the turtles and waterfalls to photograph for my blog. It is fun to go on an unknown adventure that way!The Retired Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02466803019073952351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637168036712963543.post-4468417642835139952009-06-01T17:59:54.078-05:002009-06-01T17:59:54.078-05:00Thanks for visiting my blog, squirrels are often f...Thanks for visiting my blog, squirrels are often featured in my blog, usually The Road to Here. We have a species of squirrel that is only seen on the West Coast, the Douglas squirrel. You can see them at http://squirrelqueen2.blogspot.com/2009/05/just-few-friends-for-fun.html <br /><br />they are in other post but this one is just photos.

My father had a big Buick convertible and if the weather was nice he would put the top down and let us ride up high on the back and sides. ( We went quite slowly, of course.) Every kid in town loved these rides so we always had a car full of extras as well as our large family.
