Post some of your best pictures along the roads on this thread! Whether its a scenic view, a downhill grade with many unfolding in front of you, or anything else, it's all welcome here! Don't forget to describe its location.

Here's my first one:

Georgia State Route 223 is a road that travels from Cedar Rock to just southeast of Grovetown (near Augusta & Fort Gordon's Gate 2).  Below is a photo of the road's eastern end that I took today.  It is just northwest of its eastern terminus, looking toward the northwest.

Taken at a Chevron station at the intersection of CA-58 and US-395. This is also the closest I've ever gone up to a BGS.

Forgive my ignorance, but what is a "BGS"?  Something Guide Sign?  What about "Big Green Sign"?
A BGS is the abbreviation for "Big Green Sign." Like the one I've shown here.

Yes, Big Green Sign.  To me, that seems like more of a MGS, though.   :sombrero:

Yes, that was my intent.  Now unlearn it, because I just made it up.
