Road Quality:
|
|
Very
fine roads, but there isn't much of a shoulder to speak
of for most of the way. Most of the turns are labeled with
those yellow advisory signs for 35-45 mph, with the occasional
20 or 25 mph curve. Smooth pavement, not many houses, and
little traffic make this a nice road for a spirited romp.

Roadside Amenities:

Maggie's
Cafe in Vienna is very nice - good "mom and pop" quality
with very fair prices. Belle has a little more selection,
but I have chosen to eat at Maggie's both times I've stopped
in this area. The cafe is on the southwestern corner of
the intersection of HWYs 63 and 42.
There's
a nice-looking RV site about 3-4 miles west of Vienna
that is situated on a river - looks like a good tubing/rafting
site for relief from the midsummer heat, though I've never
stopped by.
