If You Didn't Have To Pay For Gas...

where would you go and what would you do?  Just anything you've always wanted to see but maybe have said "It would be too expensive to fly or drive there."  I know I've always wanted to just do a cross country road trip, but I'd also like to visit some states that often seem to get left out.

drive from milwaukke WI to CO, then to the tetons, then cali, whistler, then up to alaska. i would do it in the winter and ski, then in the summer to hike, and ski the glacier.

weird i've never thought of it that way. i have a gas card (nice dad) and i don't really wanna drive anywhere, except skiing. i hate long trips. i'd probably drive to canada (never been) if i had the time and desire. maybe i'll do that some week and sleep in my outback with the gas running to stay warm, while i ski.

From Burlington VT, I would hit up, in order:

-Portland Maine for some lobster
-Down to Martha's Vineyard to fly fish
-Over to PA to get some Yuengling
-Down to Mississippi for some good Creole food
-Over to Colorado to fly fish/ski depending on the season
-Over to Portland Oregon because it's a kickass city I've heard
-Up to Seattle because I love Seattle.
-That's all.

when i was younger i used to think i would never like to drive for long distances, but ever since i've gotten my liscense i've been driving on some trips like 2-3 hours no problem.  i feel like all i need is music and a friend and i would go wherever.

canada is flat and boring to drive across. so fuck it.

what i would do i get a map of north america, tape it to a wall, and throw a dart at it from far away. where ever it is, is where you go.

im going to do that before i die.

definitely drive down to Utah and do the whole little Cottonwood Canyon loop. and see ALL of colorado, including wat ive already seen cuz its so awesome. can get boring to drive through. all the southwestern states would be fun to drive through. and if i had lotsa time, id drive back to the east, cuz i dont get back there much. plus, its all across the country. wat cud be better?

I've always wanted to go on a huge trip from NJ to VT to Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Washington, Canada, and Alaska.. One huge road trip across the country skiing with some friends. We've been talking about it for years, it'll happen one of these days.

ahhh, if only gas were cheap. I feel like all my extra cash gets devoured by gas prices. Anyways, i think i'd take a road trip with my friends, with no plan in mind and just drive.

Well my end would result in me living in Seattle, so I may very well do this after I graduate because I plan on living in Seattle after college. Once I'm there, though, I'll be hittin up Whistler.
