Our sunny summers are ideal for relaxed days on the road, and car buffs will find themselves in good company here there are car shows and cruise-ins all season long! Paved back roads mean you don’t need to stress on fast-paced four-lane highways, and we’ve got plenty of gravel roads too for the real get-away-from-it-all ride. And a great bonus? Your windshield or visor will appreciate our lack of bugs!
