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

[featherynscale]

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?

I used the Google maps "get directions" feature, using KC, MO as the starting point. I just started with cities that I knew were at the 8-hour cusp and then randomly moved to other cities that were progressively farther away or in a different direction.

I've driven to Chicago, Minneapolis, Indianapolis, Atlanta and Grand Rapids from KC more than once, so those are personal experience, as well.
