    Congratulations to Exit the Highway winner T. Riddle, who drove home in his new 2012 Prius v courtesy of Toyota.

    Last summer, more than 48,000 other Americans pledged to drive the scenic route and spend time exploring nature. You shared more than 8,000 beautiful photos from your adventures and many downloaded a free exclusive screensaver packed full of the amazing nature shots submitted to the Exit the Highway gallery.

    We hope Exit the Highway inspired you to get out in nature. Winter can be a beautiful time to be outdoors – the bare canvas of the winter landscape can provide excellent opportunities to spot birds that may be hidden by greenery during warmer months! The Exit the Highway itineraries can serve as your inspiration.

    Stay tuned for details about the 2013 Exit the Highway. In the meantime, get involved with your local Audubon or volunteer with a Toyota TogetherGreen project near you.

    Exit the Highway winner T. Riddle along with his wife accepts his Prius v from National Audubon Society's Nina Lapitan and Toyota's Ray Ehrhardt at Joseph Toyota in Cincinnati Ohio.

I like this campaign I need to stop letting life pass me by.

I love going around the country roads especially during the fall! great smells & alot of wild life! I enjoy watching the wild life. I have been battling 2 cancers & to get around to do these country views help me relax to keep battling for my life. sends me peace in my heart & calms some of my worries.
