May God protect us all... It's that time in my kid's life to get behind the wheel. Hoping to find roads with no ditches, no pedestrians, no bikes, and no cops. And then gradually introduce real-world obstacles! Thanks in advance. |

Compound? google Degrout Rd. Palm bay and look for all the streets that were built and never used, miles and miles of pavement no-one around. |

Degroodt? Looks good. From Jupiter Rd south toward Grant, Micco, and Fellsmere. That's what I was thinking of, but didn't have names. A lot more houses now than I remember, but still pretty scarce. Thanks!
Anyone have a helmet I can borrow? |

My 27 year old daughter recently told me the best thing I taught her about driving was when you are approaching a stopped vehicle that is trying to enter traffic is to look at the front tire not the driver to ensure the car is actually stopped. And that I made her drive off the side of the road so 2 tires were off the pavement and then to bring the car back on the road gently and not to jerk the wheel.....might help in the training.

malabar to emerson sw. follow emerson and it will become bombadier. keep going past the bombadier company plant. drive til it dead ends. now u are in what is known as 'the department". miles and miles of paved roads, no lights. no utilities, no stop signs, no people, and only the occasional (very) palm bay PD rep. bring your GPS or mark your trail...but not with bread crumbs.... lol.

Cool, thanks again for the details. Too much to choose from on Google Earth.
look at the front tire not the driver to ensure the car is actually stopped. Excellent. Front tire direction also tells you more about where a car is going than turn signals or even what you presume is eye contact with another driver. Yep... I've seen what happens when people overcorrect; not pretty! |
