I decided for some reason a 2,000 mile road trip was a good idea. I hit the Black Hills, Devil’s Tower (a must see) and Yellowstone (2 days) and finished in the Midwest’s capital of beer (Ft. Collins) before heading home. I am relaxed and ready to get back at it. I recommend to anyone spending 6 days by yourself, it will set your mind free.
 
My kind of vacation. You can’t reach these places unless you drive. I’ve been to these places working and must go back to really appreciate. To me, the best way to ruin a pleasure trip is involve an airport. There’s the side fees, early to the airport, prisoner-like search, packed plane, sardine seating, etc. Then, the flights late/canceled and they lost your luggage. I had a family reunion in California last year and drove. Stopped at will in nice hotels at reasonable cost. A get away restores ones sanity and affords stress relief. Everyone needs this therapy but drive not fly unless its overseas.
Glad you had a nice time. It is good to get away from the daily routine and enjoy yourself. Now, will you be making a road trip to your 25th Class Reunion? Sure hope so!
