This simple map fails to convey the greatness of this 1.6 mile stretch of asphalt nestled between majestic trees, flowing rivers, and an occasional deer in Rockland County.
When you hit this road at the right time (sometime right after sunrise when traffic is nonexisten) in the right car (something that is light and quick), it will take your breath away. It's like discovering Led Zeppelin for the first time (especially if the first song you've ever heard from them was 'Stairway To Heaven')
I think it was somewhere around that second '106' mark when I discovered the awesomeness of this road. James Brown was playing on my iPod, the engine was humming between 4 - 7k, and somewhere through a set of switchbacks, a smile just erupted across my face. It didn't hit me immediately, more of a budding feeling that, "damn, this is a nice road," but when I hit this ridiculously long right-hander that made my tires sing to the trees, it brought that smile to my face and that's when I knew I had stumbled upon something beautiful. When I got to the end, I had to pull over and bask in the afterglow of such an intense cargasm.
Only one word could sum up the entire experience: "Wow."
