I found that article very interesting thanks so much for sharing!! I think what you said about adding 2 hours to an otherwise 3 day trip,is very accurate however 100 miles is the difference in money that I may or may not have as far as adding a night in a hotel or filling up on gas. I know there is something to do and see in each place but I guess what I'm really asking for are peoples experiences. What they have seen in these areas of the country that they found enjoyable.
