Wherever you decide to go, stay off the interstates. Your trip will be much more enjoyable.

is a fantastic place. You could stay for many many days and not see everything. Incredibly beautiful.

I'm not sure where you are located but a few friends and I go rafting up in Jackman Maine once a year. Closest cop, 75 miles away. Then again the moose are much closer than anything resembling civilization and this time of year there isn't any rafting.

Watch out for the moose though, they WILL royally mess up your car when you hit them.

(OffTopic: Jon, you read this blog too? Small world.)

Umm, somewhere without too much snow. If you select Yellowstone you may want to verify that the roads you want are still open as many of them are seasonal.

"Pie trip III : the return of the gluttony!"?

Since Loren is in Europe, I'm not sure it qualifies as a pie trip :p

Loren will stop being in Europe soon.

More travelling? Dammit. I'm poor and tired and fat, at most I'll say maybe.

When do you get back?

If I had mutant psychic powers, I'd say October 17.

If I had bothered to read Brunslo's blog before asking, I'd say that too.

Soon.

It sounds like you need to unwind, relax, and enjoy yourself. If you are a wine drinker, consider a wine tasting trip. Sample wine, great food, and forget about work for a few days.
