Great drive listings (was 'good day')

Great drives are inspiring... They are one of the reasons I even have a car.
(I bus to work because it's cheaper than paying parking in downtown Seattle, I
can
drink my coffee _and_ eat my donut at the same time, and not even a soccer mom
on a cell phone in an SUV will try and smash a city bus.)
Anyway, in an effort to support great, inspiring drives, I'd like to compile a
list of these based on submissions from the quattro-list . I would be happy
to
compile these and place them on the web so we have a database of
'Audi-approved' drives. Organizing them by region, we would have a resource
to turn to
when we travel beyond our normal stomping grounds... Going to visit your
mother-in-law? "Hey honey, why don't we take the scenic route?" Organizing
or
rating them by 'intensity' (touring/testing?) would also seem like a good
idea as well. Maps, mileage, police warnings, gas stations, points of
interest etc. also
included.
To start it off, I nominate the beautiful (if relatively well-known) Paradise
run through Mount Rainier National Park (in WA)
Starting from Enumclaw follow 410 until you hit Cayuse Pass then head south on
123.
Take a right onto 706 which takes you through the actual National Park and by
Paradise Lodge.
Continue on until Elbe where the road turns into highway 7(better known as
Pacific Avenue once you have passed the Roy 'Y' junction)
This is from memory, so no mileage etc. as of yet...
If there is interest in this, please let me know, and I'll get to work.
