I will be gathering maps of the greatest roads to drive in the US and around the world. I still have to figure out just how I’m going to do this but I want to make it searchable by Region of the USA, then States. This will help individuals, clubs and groups plan trips.

• Travelling Northwest out of Chattanooga on I24 you’ll come up to the Tennessee River. Just before the river you will see the exit for Ladds. Get off there and head South. I found this road by chance on September 12th, 2001. I was travelling home to Minnesota in my 2001 Audi TT I had just purchased and decided to do some exploring off the side roads. Take a look at this picture, the road has to be one of the funnest I’ve ever driven and it’s like this for a couple miles. You will climb a pretty good incline and then descent in similar fashion.

Head south  on Old Ladds Road and within just a few hundred yards it all begins.

And here’s the view looking down.
