How do you find a scenic drive?

I'm working on a web site for people to list fun and interesting place to drive. I need ideas!
Suppose you're thinking about taking a drive just for fun- a day trip maybe. What decides your destination? Where do you go for ideas? How do you decide?

that's pretty funny.

Seriously, I just go exploring, usually out in the local mountains, on a vector that leads straight AWAY from the city. I don't generally consult maps, or web pages of good local drives, or anything like that.
Stick to back roads, not state highways, and go UP when ever up is a choice, and you can stumble on some gorgeous views and fun back-country drives.

I recommend Rt 94 from Independence to Fort Chiswell and Rt 11 which parallels the interstate for spectacular views and even I-77 as Senator Byrd of W Va made sure his state had nice roads with his name on them. I would avoid Rt 16 near Marion as it is too curvy to enjoy. And look for the "Scenic Byways" signs in Virginia as they are just what they say. Just watch out for deer in the evening as they move to their sleep areas. Enjoy. Dave

Anyone spending their retirement savings on cruising lately? Where are you going?
Stumbled on a ~20 mile stretch of paved two lane called Sawyer County (WI) Road GG that veered off Highway 77 (the Great Divide National Scenic Highway). Scenic woods, elk country, and saw a bevy of trumpeter swans.
Go a half mile inland and it looks like winter hit, and it was pretty bleak all the way to Minneapolis last weekend.
"The" lake being Superior btw.
I'm hoping for a spell of nice dry weather around Hallowe'en so I can mow and mulch the leaves, assuming the rest of them fall by then.
