Anyone for a roadtrip?

It occurred to me that I don’t take road trips nearly as often as I used to, or as often as I’d like to and when I do, they are very purposeful. Drive here, do this, drive back. I’ve been thinking for awhile how to remedy the situation and I think I’ve come up with an idea.

Secret Random Roadtrips!

Now this only works if I have someone to do this with (or perhaps multiple people) and, of course, I’ve thought of it going into probably the worst time of year for road trips but hey…

Here’s the idea.
1) Pick a friend willing to have an adventure of sorts.
2) Pick a route/destination. Any day trip will do, so probably max 3 hours out of the city – be it a pretty place just because… to sit and read or take a walk in nature, a fun restaurant or café nestled in some small town, a giant thing, an adventure spot or historical site.
3) Give your friend a prep list: appropriate dress i.e. boots/sneakers for hiking, a book to read if the point is to relax, always bring a camera!
4) Provide snacks for the road that work with whatever is planned.
5) Head out… but without telling the friend where you’re going.
6) Take back roads whenever possible. Highway drives aren't very exciting.
7) Relax and Have Fun!

I think this would be the most fun with a few friends and to trade off who takes the lead. Also there are lots of ways to add to it… themes you could choose, creation of road trip playlists, and lots more.

So... anyone for a roadtrip?
