A couple friends and I want to plan a 6-7 day road trip in July, but can't really decide where we want to go. I think we are more interested in the fun of the drive and the camaraderie than actual destinations. We have a few ideas:

One was to do a whiskey tour through kentucky and parts of tennessee and see some bourbon disitilleries (we like whiskey).

We also considered heading west, but have no definite ideas of where we want to go (vegas is out because that would be a better trip to just fly for).

Basically I am just looking for some input of ideas that are practical in this time frame and will let us see some cool places other than the corn fields of central Illinois.

Any input would be great!
