Back Roads and Rural Routes:: When I was new to driving, one of my favorite things to do was to try and get lost. I would drive for hours and go places I had never been before. I explored back roads that I never knew existed, and these are things I still do today.(Can you say Garmin LOL)

This is the 20th anniversary of the hot rod tour, and each year, a different route is selected. The main objective is to stay off the freeways and stick to two-lane roads because it makes the drive more exciting, especially when people know the hot rods are coming.
