Drives to keep sane.

Let me start by saying I am in no way suggesting a meetup. I think it's important to "do your part" in addressing the current covid situation.
That being said, there are some great roads with no traffic to be enjoyed right meow.
And has anyone else noticed the lack of trooper presence on the roads?

Figured we could share what's around.

Hwy 202 from Redmond to North Bend is a nice little one. Decent speed limits and goes by the falls.

What you got?

And I'm in the SG E93 sitting in Fox Red.

There's an annual drive that 'Kerrit' typically organizes - check out the Google link in the first post, it's a really good route.

I saw this article the other day and laughed. With no traffic on the roads, and seemingly no troopers around, it's no surprise...

I had to go to Discount Tire in Auburn on Tuesday for a repair...saw a ton of cops between there and around Covington. Troopahs, Sheriffs, Covington police. They are out there for sure. I guess regular crime is down since everyone's at home?
