Long story short, in the last year and a half I've been through a divorce, a couple very convoluted and involved relationship disappointments, a LOT of ups and downs (more downs) with my business, and 3 official days off (not counting the times I took off to go meet with the lawyers)..
I need to fucking get away.
All I want is a cabin on the outskirts of some little no name mountain town. Rockies, Appalachians, makes no difference to me, they're both about the same drive from SW MO. I plan on driving so I can take my puppers with me.
Thing is outside of Yellowstone I don't know of any places to look at and that's a bit too far of a drive. I'm looking for 8-900 miles
(from Joplin MO), something I could do in one shitty day of driving.
I just need somewhere away from here that I can finally decompress and get time to myself where I'm *actually* alone. I just want to hike with the puppers, read a few books, and get some dope pics of mountains.
Just looking for suggestions or websites to look at that would have listings outside the BIG tourist spots.

Anywhere /out/ has been that made an impression?

There are lots of /out/ places in the US. I'm about as far west as you can go so its hard for me to recommend places that you'd want to consider driving to. Places that I've been to that maybe a reasonable drive for you would be the badlands or the black hills South Dakota. Western Montana is great. Glacier NP is amazing as is Grand Teton NP and Yellowstone. I hear the Michigan UP is cool. The Smoky Mountains are supposed to be great. The Taos NM area is supposed to be amazing. The Colorado Front Range has a lot to offer. Best I can offer. Hope you get some ideas.

The western UP is awesome in the summer and winter if you like snow. I work as a forester in the region so if you want any specifics let me know
How about something around Westcliffe, CO. There are very few people in that valley, and its is incredibly beautiful. Just about your distance. That or something near Crestone, CO. Both are neat the great sand dunes, and offer great hiking in the Sangre De Cristo range.
