Yeah, my husband's been out of state for a funeral, so my dog was in my bedroom with me. I would definitely consider boating south a bit, and then going inland once I was in a remote area. The only thing I'd have on my mind is to get to my family in Kansas, I'd be willing to go with only my BOB for sure. They are in a fairly rural area, and my grandpa owns a 35 acre farm, with a fruit orchard and 7 different well stocked fishing ponds, about 25 minutes from my parents place. It's very remote, rugged dirt roads to get to it, set off the road quite a bit, with tons of trees for cover. You can't see a thing from the road. Ahh, sounds like heaven right now!
