Thanks to all that have responded. Please keep your favs coming. As I mentioned in an earlier post I have been doing this trip for 45 years. I have done the majority of places that have been mentioned so far. I'll wait till the ideas slow done and publish more of the gems I have found over all those years. I will comment on the Blue Ridge Parkway. I consider this not in the obscure category since it is well known. But if you have never done this do not miss it. One of the most scenic drives our country has to offer. A couple tips be very aware of fog. Especially prominent in the mornings. Very scary to be on twisty roads on the edge of a mountain and not be able to see. Second if you have the luxury it is better to do a different sections at a time on several trips. It can get tiring and time consuming but you also miss some of the beautiful little towns in the valley if you try to drive straight through on top. Another tip to pass along we have learned take a drive through of major universities. Very likely to see incredible architecture on many of the campuses.
