Q. Someone who is driving on the field roads for the day just to get away from home, does he have to say Tefilas Haderech? After all it is mentioned in it: 'Vesagienu Limechoz Cheftzeinu' or make us reach the desired location, and in this case it is just going away from home.
A. Horav Dovid Pam and Horav Aharon Miller Shlit'a maintain that Tefilas Haderech should be recited if the distances meet the requirements for the Tefila, since after all he is planing to return home and that qualifies as reaching the desired location.
Rabbi A. Bartfeld as revised by Horav Dovid Pam, Horav Aharon Miller and Horav Chanoch Ehrentreu Shlit'a.
