My wife isn't much of a traveler either. I've mentioned this before but for our 30th I just told her we're going to fly to Albany Oct. 1 rent a car, and drive to Maine and back. It was the best trip we ever took. Saw all the color and I just chilled and stopped at every antique store, covered bridge she wanted to along the way. We took back highways and there was a little interstate as possible. But these threads are giving me ideas.

Fall is a special time and I want to pick the right one.

Yeah, in contrast to this tournament I would agree that avoiding interstates is ideal. I like backroads trips, or at least trips that aren't on busy interstates. If you're pondering Colorado I've been on almost every road in the state and can offer tips, but we don't have as much fall color here, and summer travel is less likely to have you skidding off a mountainside in the snow.
