Pic of the week game

Well how else did you think I managed the 600 mile ride to your place in time for beer, BS and food. When this Covid is over I'm going to need a real long ride. I'll bring some presents for the frig.

Can't wait for that one. I need a good long few days in the saddle. Ride camp fish. Ride again.

The Road Less Traveled by R John Thieda, on Flickr

Nice shot Bob, inside Smoky Mountains National Park?

Taken yesterday, around midnight at the end of the road on Tjeldøya (before it was a sign saying: Driving on your own risk). This is easily the hardest ride I've had, as the road isn't maintained, and there is grass in the middle, potholes. Apart from powerlines, and abandoed fallen buildings it was empty. Altho I saw a Defender with german plates and a tent on top of it at the end of the road.

The pictures that didn't make the cut: https://imgur.com/a/AQaQ74T Some are rather nice, but no roads were as desserted and lonely as this one.

I also saw the biggest moose ever, it was worrysome as I couldnt outrun it on this road (speed was like max 25 but mostly around 10 kmh).

Holiday weekend for us which means a huge influx of tourists and their vehicles.
Late this afternoon it seems everybody has gone home. A lovely ride in the countryside.

These roads go absolutely nowhere.

Okay, let me/us know if I missed any.

Now vote for your favorite picture or best "Road Less Traveled".

Man! Every picture is great!

I have to mention MarvinScott and CowboyScott.

MarvinSC and my pic both can see in the accumulation of leaves that hasn't been much traffic since the leaves fell there.

Many pics, BaatfamBob's especially, are about the road, and the road looks like a lightly traveled road.

Man, I can make good comments about each pic. Great topic, Rich82. This must be something all of us have interest in, and stop and take a picture of.
So many are great.

Gustov, looks like a less traveled road, and with the brake lights on also seems to say "Oh, should I be here?"

BurqueRoger sure shows the longest length of road with no traffic in sight, really chose a great place to pose the pic. Riding that road would get the idea was a long empty road, and choosing to stop at that place where can see the road in distance really presents it all in one shot.

But for a tie breaker, I will vote for Eli69 since the picture not only shows Less Traveled Road in multiple directions, but the scene also has the element of deciding which "Less Traveled Road" to take. I can just imagine stopping there and having to decide which way to go, each way could go looks "Less Traveled". The picture not only documents the condition/type of road, but the composition and all conveys more than that (for me anyway).

Thanks for posting, Radman. Bunch of great pix!

I'm in for Eli.

[Baatfam]

Thanks Rad! Clearly I am slacking lately....

Man! There is not one picture that I dont like !

You got that right....

18 photos, 18 very nice photos, 18 very nice photos that would make a cool 18 month 2021 calendar.

Thinking...

I vote for NOREG.👍 If you look at his GPS, you can see the road he's on goes to nowhere. 🤔
