We at the Godrushcam decided to make you guess on what road this is. How well do you know the county?
The correct answer will win a prize to be yet determined by the staff !

This could be the warmest day of the year so far, so get in the car, roll the windows down, drive slow and easy, take the camera, take a picnic basket and have a great day as the clouds and rain may return !

That road would be Ben Hur by the Quick Ranch. A beautiful road to travel at all times.

I forgot this at Easter. But better late than never we say!
It is listed on Snopes, famous for urban legends.
This is for all the people involved with 4-H, FAA and other animal organizations.
Be afraid, be very afraid when these take over the earth !

Congratulations to Marren of Raymond.
Winning a prize for correct and fastest answer, now the staff has to dig through our basket of goodies !!
Yes Marren is very right it is a beautiful road.
And mentioning the Quick Ranch, here are a few links about that ranch,
The first one I used the other day on the rockwall photo:
