is it a secret


wa wa wa

tell tell me do

Western Wyoming, South West Montana, Most of Idaho, Northern Oregon and ALL of Washington State... take the scenic byways they are the MOST beautiful places in the country in my opinion.(and none of my Trucker buddies blocking your view)

One that I want to take is the Pacific Coast Hi-way from begining to end.

Thanks for the suggestions. I don't think I will get quite all the way to the West Coast but I am considering it.

go see Mount Rushmore and the big Sitting Bull carving. Those are relatively close to Michigan

Not too bad, I could take it easy and drive there in two days. Spend a couple days out there and come back. Plus that would be a great thing for my son to see.

I just might consider that! Thanks!

THE UP OF MICHIGAN AND WISCONSIN AND MINNESOTA.......CANADA.......

This is on my bucket list.

Crested Butte, Colorado; located on western slope, mountain biking capitol of the US. Great country to see in summer & one of the quieter ski slopes. Some FANTASTIC bars.

HEY WANT TO GO TO TORONTO WITH ME??????????????

I don't have a passport and refuse to get the new driver's license thing.

And I have been all over the UP and have no interest in Wisonsin or Minnesota.

Blue Ridge looks nice! There's a possiblity! And not too far!

My trip would involve taking my kido... so no bar hopping

I don't think I will get that far out west, but will consider it!

No.

Hands down tanyaann is the Queen of not beating around the bush.

Read this simple straight forward reply; you, like me will chuckle at the brilliance and blunt nature of her one word sentence.



I could not help myself, I was tickled by it.

I once had to take a road trip to Mt. Hood in Oregon a couple of years ago. It was a pretty neat two-day drive that took me all the way through the "Grapevine"... past Klamath Falls... through the Sisques... and through the immense tree cover and other foliage that is a part of Oregon. Driving the roads leading to the mountain were cool as well, as they were the very ones seen in the opening credits of "The Shining" with Jack Nicholson, as well as the front of the "Overlook Hotel" (the "Timberline Lodge" as it's called in real life).

Now THAT was a drive.

Well, sometimes ya just have to be blunt.

I will eventually have to make a trip out there someday!


Do you think they will let me run through the lodge yelling 'red rum'?

Heck- they probably wouldn't mind at all. After all- they DO sell "Jack Nicholson slept here" (complete with "Here's Johnny" Shining graphic) souvenir t-shirts, you know?

It should be noted that only the front facade of the Timberline Lodge was used in "The Shining"- they went to some totally different resort hotel-like place for the interior shots. In fact, I believe the place is somewhere in Montana or something.

But the road leading up to the mountain from Welches, Oregon (the town closest to Mt. Hood) all the way to the mountain IS showcased in the opening credits of the movie, though.
