^ Bam! Both of those places were ones I was going to suggest.

All the other stuff I have shot over there has resulted from just driving about looking for something that grabbed the imagination. I usually pull out my phone anytime I find a spot I like and pin it on the map app I have for later reference.

total side note, but if you do this (tagging places on a map) be sure you also record the time, season and lighting. Its disappointing to go back to a location you had that vision in your head to see that the lighting is off or its to early/late in the day to grab that shot.
