It\u2019s December.\u00a0 I can\u2019t help but think ahead.\u00a0 In two weeks, I\u2019ll have my drivers license back, insurance and a dependable vehicle in which to travel.\u00a0 See, before my life changed 20 months ago, road trips, making videos and exploring the world were my favorite things to do.<\/font><\/p>\n

Few if any of you reading this remember that traveling me, and the capability to do that is just around the corner.\u00a0 I\u2019m thinking January or February for my next road trip.\u00a0 The heart of Winter, and as it will be traveling by van, it necessarily will have to be to destination somewhere here in the Northwest.<\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

I\u2019d like your help in picking out a destination.\u00a0 Of these four, some of them might not sound very scenic or exciting, but their videographic potential is high.\u00a0 Wherever I go, the trip TO the place will be as much of the adventure as the destination itself. <\/font><\/p>\n

\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

Vote for where you want me to go! <\/font>
\n<\/font>
\n<\/font><\/p>\n

\n

Ultimately, it will be my decision, but your input is appreciated!<\/font><\/p>\n

1. The Oregon Coast.\"\" <\/strong><\/font> This 300+ miles of rugged, varied and remote shoreline is legendary for it\u2019s breathtaking beauty, inspirational vistas and its surprising differentiation. Picture me visiting aquariums, standing on rocks and getting wet from sea spray.<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>\"\"2. The Hanford Nuclear Facility, Eastern Washington. <\/strong> This was where the guts of the bombs that ended WWII were built.\u00a0 For 60 years, large facility has been the heart of both America\u2019s nuclear weapons AND nuclear power industries.\u00a0 I remember a story my father told me about the first time he visited Washington state back in the 1970\u2019s, and his friend at Hanford showed him wild frogs that actually glowed in the dark due to their exposure to radiation.\u00a0 I\u2019d go looking for those frogs, 40 years later.<\/p>\n

\"\"3. Glacier National Park, Northern Montana. <\/strong>Snuggled on the US-Canadian border, I\u2019d have to get snow chains to visit this place.\u00a0 Alternately, I could take a train to Glacier, and then rent a snow-worthy vehicle while I\u2019m there.<\/p>\n

\"\"4. Area 51, Central Nevada. <\/strong> Lately, after watching numerous specials on the History Channel, I\u2019ve been intrigued by visiting this notoriously mysterious facility.\u00a0 They don\u2019t exactly provide tours of the site.\u00a0 In fact, they\u2019re notorious for confiscating recording equipment once you\u2019re miles into the humongous site and finally informed you can\u2019t record there.\u00a0 At the same time, there is a whole mini-society that is \u201coccupying Area 51\u201d, camping just outside the restricted area.\u00a0 I\u2019d love to interview those folks.\u00a0 Of course, visiting Las Vegas would be a part of visiting Area 51.<\/p>\n

So.. Take your pick:\u00a0 Scenic seascapes, quirky radioactivity, breathtaking mountains, or government conspiracy.. Where should I go??<\/p>\n
