Grand Lake Colorado.
Also love the lush hills of Pennsylvania in Summer.

My vacation tastes are different than most of the posts. I enjoy solitude and my vacations reflect it. Summer time vacations are in out of the way places wade fishing the gulf coast. I used to enjoy salmon fishing the pacific north west or trout fishing the rivers and streams in the mountains of the north west. Fall and winter I love spending time freelancing on the high plains with my bird dogs.

We just got back from Marathon, and had an absolute blast. Not my typical vacation as I'm a "lets go to the mountains" guy but I had a very enjoyable time, and hope to go back every year

Arctic-----......

A week of bass fishing with my brother on Falcon Lake.

I am too old and the wife does want to go anywhere except a casino. But when I actually had a job we took the owners of the plane to Athens for the Olympics. We could not park the plane there so we flew it to the island of Limnos. That was the best paid vacation I have ever had. Beautiful clear water. Cheap food and lodging. Great people. Was a heck of a working vacation. But most were working for a great very well-off family.

Lake City Colorado. Been going about 30 years. Skipped last year but going back next year.
Great area, good fly fishing. Not to many people.
Lake City sit at 9500 foot and we stay at 9800 up the Lake Fork of the Gunnison river about 6 miles from town.
If I had to chose an absolute favorite place it would be Kauai Hawaii. Most perfect place on earth IMO.

Did Lake City with Dad and brothers there about 30 years ago. Beautiful place, good fishing - lake and tank fishing. Annual festival celebrating the last known US cannibal, Edward Packard whose travel party got snowed in at the Smongolian Pass in 1860s or 1870s I believe. 20+ were in the party and I think only Edward and 1 or 2 others made it down. Authorities went up in the Spring and found evidence of cannibalism. After a couple of years in jail, think he was let go and even later received a presidential or governor's pardon. I had a cool t shirt from the festival.

Destin when we go. Last few years just said I can stay here and burn my [censored] up.

We’ve tried several

But the 2, were always down for are

RR, NM and Seaside Florida

One of those will always be on the rotation of getaways

Ruidoso NM.

Santa Rosa Beach, FL

Reno/Tahoe for me. Wife/Kids prefer Destin to Orange Beach AL area.

Florida Keys, preferably the lower Keys.

Every year we try a few new places, but the ones we seem to go back to the most are the Bahamas (Atlantis), Seaside, FL (Watercolor), Lost Pines (Bastrop), and Hot Springs....we hit at least 3 out of those 4 every year.

Here's a video my buddy Dr. Jackson Bean made when he and his wife Jennifer visited us last year when we were staying in Key Haven. We love the house we rent down there for a month to 6 weeks. Couldn't get it this year, but have arrangements with the owner for next year. Problem is, we found another really cool house for this year.

My Man

Red River , New Mexico

Montana and/or Colorado - we like Bozeman and Breckenridge

Belize is really good, and easy to get to.

I live in Odessa so going anywhere would be a vacation!

Always been curious about Belize. Where do you recommend a family might stay?

Lake City is not quite that high, it's 8700 feet. We own a piece of property just north of town with an incredible stretch of the Lake Fork. Heading back there next week. These are a few fish my sons and I caught one afternoon 2 weeks ago.

nice browns!!!!
