Default The opposite of Freeway Driving

I like the slower pace of two lane paved roads but very much enjoy traveling the gravel with the '41 Merc. Usually 30-40 mph or so depending on conditions...sometimes at a crawl over rough rutted stuff, sometimes 50+ on a smooth graded piece. Here's this morning's 40 mile tour of local lanes. About 12 degrees F here today in Kansas with a stiff N breeze. The OE Ford heater was nice and toasty though.
