No, I was thinking Jellystone West. I'd have to have two weeks or better
time off, as I don't fly.

yeah, i used to say that too. amazing the courage you'll muster after
seeing children and skinny wimmen fearlessly board a plane. the wussy
burden becomes unbearable. plus, that's a really long drive...i'd hate
to spend half of my vacation blasting across country in a car. i'd plan
for a month-long trip before considering a drive across country, and
then i'd find waypoints of interest along the route.



North would be up Wolfie's way.

i'd still say west... except, of course, the north does provide the
prospect of wolf's evil sense of humor and excellent discourse on things
historical and literary...as well as becky's exceptional common
sense.g but if you want to chase trout while elk bugle, buffalo
meander by, and wolves, eagles, pronghorns, antelope and big horn sheep
share some of the most beautiful country in the lower 48...well, even
the wonderful wilds of wisconsin and the yoop can't compare.

We have our own brand of bucolically charming scenery here but Mr.
Miller is right. Our geography is what it is by virtue of where it
is......middling. I can find adequate diversion here to justify the
time and effort but Middleton (and Muir.....as well as myriad others)
was right.....the mountains, left or right, have an attractive force
greater than mere gravity or magnetism.
