I've got the restless feet syndrome again...

What I would most like to have on hand today is a program that I could input my current location and how many hours I wanted to drive, and have it output a list of possible destinations that meet those parameters. I'm sure that such a thing exists, but I can't find one.

Any of you guys know of something that works that way? I mean, I can just make a compass circle on a map and get a rough idea, but I'm too lazy for that.

The thing is, I'm looking for short trips to make. I'm realizing again how much vacation I have. St. Joe was far enough away to keep me entertained for a few weeks, but now I want to go somewhere else. I'm thinking of 8-12 hour drives, so Denver is good, Dallas is good, Atlanta is probably close enough, and so on. If I can't get a resource, are there destinations that you could suggest?

Myself, I'd probably pull out the compass and map. ;)

Might do that when we get home. I'm thinking there's a big US map in the garage. We could color out in 4-hour blocks from KC...

There is, in fact, a giant map in the garage, that would be almost ideally suited to this porpoise.

Project, ho!

While the compass will give you cities that fall within a certain mileage of your starting point, remember that that will be "as the crow flies" and that actual driving time may vary depending on how direct a route you can actually plot.
