Location: Brighton CO. | We all have had fun talking about some of the cool places we been to, but how many places have we all driven by (dozens of times) and never gone in, what are some of those places. |

| Spider Lake, Itasca County- big and beautiful with shoepack strain, so I've never hit it. Still want to.
Deer Lake, Itasca - intimidates the hell out of me due to clarity and reputation for being a tough lake to fish
Miltona - it's just so popular and busy whenever I've been by it. |

| I've been to California & Florida nearly 10 times and have never walked down to the ocean. Zero interest. Driven thru Virginia Minnesota numerous times never considered stopping at the Hockey Hall Of Fame. Usually when driving I become lazer focus on where I'm going and don't alter course. |

| 15 minutes from where I live is the Red Cedar river, Wis. Almost every time I'm in Rice Lake, I cross over it, always thinking to myself, I have to do a float trip down this small river. Known more for smallmouth, it also has muskies! When I finally grow tired of the jet skis,water skiers, tubers, and pleasure boaters on my chain of lakes, which usually starts around Memorial day, time to explore this interesting little river, and get away from it all.

Location: Brighton CO. | Making the drive west between Eagle River and St. Germain I've stopped and have eaten may times, (Honey Bear, Country Flaire, Pub and Prime but I've never been in Waukegan Taven on the corner of HWY 70 and O or the old Molgaards restaurant in St. Germain. In 1993 on the way to Lake Of The Woods we went thru Warroad and stopped and took a look at the old Christain Brothers stick factory. I grew up in SO. CAL. and there is nothing like a trip down Pacific Coast HWY. on a warm day." I wish they could all be Californian Girls" Need I say more! |

I am pretty much the same way, even in retirement where I have time. Two of my brother in laws do the opposite, they like to meander on side roads, different routes and they see a lot of interesting stuff, places and people. |

| Minocqua. Other than Rollie and Helens and the gas station at 51 and Hwy 70, I have never stopped there for anything. Kind of silly I guess... |

Location: Athens, Ohio | My dad took me on a couple fly-in trips in Canada. We took the Trans-Canada Hwy from Saulk Saint Marie all up along the northern shore of Lake Superior. Along the say were small roadside parks with lakes from streams that fed into the big lake. I always wanted to take a small boat and tha couple weeks and just see what was in those ponds. m |

Location: Brighton CO. | Besides my Wisconsin trips my mom is from Deer River MN. so I fish over there too, I love Sammy's Pizza I've eaten at both Grand Rapids and Cloquet and I've been trying to get to Gordy's Hi Hat for years but has been closed for the season when I go in the fall, one year we stayed in Hibbing on the way to Vermillion and were we stayed they had a restaurants hooked to the hotel they said it was affiliated to famous restaurant in Duluth. (I think it might have been a off shoot of Grandma's)What ever it was the food was great. And yes take a small boat full jig heads twister tails, Rapala's and small Mepps and down sized tackle sign me up. |

Location: WI | Anchor Bar in Superior WI is better than Grandmas any day.
I was a sailor on the Great Lakes and went across Lake St Claire probably 100 times and never fished. That’ll drive a musky guy crazy after a couple seasons. |
