Road trip- where??

I feel the need to take my vacation in the next month or so but I don't know where to go. My GF can only take about 4 days off work and she wants to road trip it which I think would be a good time. I'm looking for some ideas, we'll be departing from about 1.5 hours south of Indianapolis.

Drive from Indiana to Grand Canyon. Although 4 days is nothing. Drive to Sandusky, OH.

I'm sorry to say that I dont know what that is but we will be traveling in her WJ (stock) and she's into off-roading, camping, etc so something along those lines wouldnt be too far off.

I don't have any suggestions where you would go cuz we are so far away. I'm driving my jeep up to Vermont in two days and staying up there for a week. Good luck with your trip!

Not familiar with the roads or sites around there but what about camping in Canada?

I think Canada is a little too far, it's about a 5 hour trip to chicago, st. louis, TN. I would drive up to 12 hours which would put me pretty far, it took me about 14 hours to drive to Houston but I've never been any further west or south than that. The Grand Canyon would be awesome to see but I haven't map quested anything yet, thought I would get some ideas first.

If you only have 4 days, don't bother with the Grand Canyon.
