Great job! Maybe you could add city/state info there to help people find what's closest to them.

Doh! i feel like a heel... sorry to Brian i can move posts one way or the other... (I did search for this kind of thread too - just didn't find any)

Brian had the great idea to include the County... I'll go back and do that.

Here is the other thread for reference

Comments: There is a 5 mile long section on Spooks Hill Road that is very curvy. There are no lines, it's similar to the road that cuts through Loch Raven. Really fun to drive if there is no traffic, but it's a great way to cut over to Falls Rd and scenic.

York Road
Baltimore County North

map: http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=MD...h&z=11&vpsrc=6

Distance: ~ 18 miles
Road Condition:
Lined:
Posted speed Limit:

Traffic: Moderate

Comments: Good road with some curves. A few areas to pull off to wait for other cars. A little crowded once you're south of the Hunt Valley area and there is stop and you will hit red lights closer to town. Take I-83N to Shawan Road exit, go right and turn left onto York Road N. It will be a nice drive up to the PA line. This is part of the route we used on the Mid Atlantic Cruse.

Comments: Either direction traveled will be satisfying. This scenic route will take you through several small towns ( One of these small towns is Burkittsville, MD - home of 'the Blair Witch) providing where you can stop for food or gas. The road has sweeping turns and straightaways as well as limited stop signs and various speed limits allow for a fun drive. Link it to Route 77 for a longer drive
