Thanks, yes, I love to drive out into the middle of nowhere myself actually.

In my job before last I invested in a a good amount of backwoods camping gear such as a good quality hatchet, ground mat, tarp, saw, hiking bag, maps, camp stove, and a few other things.

I was able to go out for an overnighter shortly after I had purchased these things to test them, but then I was laid off from my job.

I finally found work again and have not been able to go since, but some time in the near future when the weather is just a bit nicer, I intend to go where there are no other people and just spend about a week out there by myself. This is my type of escape.

As far as actual roadtrips go, at some point I kind of want to do what no one I know has wanted to do, and actually drive north until I hit the arctic ocean. I don't know why exactly, except that everyone always goes south or east or west. I think it would just be interesting because no one I have ever met has done it haha.
