Nope not missing anything Roger--just thought interesting reading and possibly get a few folks to thinking about--as Doris Day sang"See the USA in your xxxxx-- In the article it talked about the distance driven and time to do this-really a longggggg trip and many places I still got to see- I have seen so much of the USA from 30-41,000 feet at 600 mph and lots from the road pasting by on the way to some race track that I really enjoy thinking up trips and seeing stuff at a more leisurely pace. Not some cruise ship, or some pool side room in a luxury hotel.


A few years ago we went on a trip that was nearly 8000 miles, took nearly 8000 pics, and went to see the USA. After visiting a few places such as Carlsbad Caverons, Grand Canyon, etc,etc-and guides saying 2oo million years ago??? I decided that we were really seeing a small portion of Mother Earth and about the only thing USA was view of Las Vegas from afar and Mt. Rushmore


So, sorry about the deversion, but I'm ready for another trip

Not a problem from my perspective. There are still a lot of places in the US that I/we have not visited, but I'd say that doing a trip like Schaub's where you blast through thousands of miles in short order just to say that you set foot in 49 of the 50 states would not be my cup of tea. I'd much prefer to go to an area/region, and spend a couple of weeks exploring to get the "feel" of the place, then go home and get ready for another adventure.

So jb, are you starting your list of "have to see" places, and a specific route for this trip, or are you winging it?
