Man-cation

A bunch of buddies and I are throwing around the idea of a man-cation but we need more ideas. Needs to fit into a short week or a long weekend. Maybe 5 days or so. Here is what we've thrown around so far -

Zion Canyon
circumnavigate Mt. Shasta
drunken bike tour through Napa (no homo)
road trip to Chicago for the LATE ride - http://www.lateride.org/

Not really interested in Vegas again.

GO!!!

Might end up being a vag-cation. One of the guys said, "I don't want to camp (because I don't want to get sand in my *****)."

Zion Canyon is my vote. LATE ride is second because it's a long drive to chicago.

One of the guys in the group lives there and we have been telling him we'd visit him for like 2 years.

You just missed WRC Mexico which would've been good. I'd say go to the Olympus Rally or the Oregon Trail Rally, both Rally America events in April and May respectively.

Man-cation reminded me of my new fave show on travel channel Madventures:

http://www.madventures.tv

Haven't gone through all of that site yet, so I don't know if they've done any US stuff, but if they did, I'm sure it's fun and manly.
