Good luck America

[bluesin]

Bluesin, I heard someone here mention someone's dad was ill, but I didn't know it was your dad. I said a prayer for however it was. Glad he is coming home and is feeling better.
Snorvey, you are too much. That joke isn't far from the truth. While describing a redneck, I forgot to mention, his mouth and beard are always full of tobacco juice. gross   
We had a story going round at CHristmas about a redneck's wife nagging him to hang the lights on the house, then there was a picture of a tangled  ball of lights hung on the entrance to the carport. When he returned home that evening, she told him how much she appreciated him hanging the lights. She said, in appreciation, she had washed his truck. The next picture showed an old Ford pick-up in the swimming pool. Humor is good for the soul. cheers to all

Thank you.

I need to visit America someday. The problem is that it's so big and it's difficult to know where to focus one's attention.

New York.....Grand Canyon....Orlando/Florida etc....Route 66....Boston...Vegas.....California. The list goes on.

I think New York is probably a must see for a first timer no? Florida seems a bit touristy and garish, same with Vegas.

So Americans, where would you suggest?

It really depends on what you are interested in.  Personally I'd skip New York unless you want to see a big crowded city.  I lived in Florida a couple of times.  Unless you are a beach person not much to see there and it's way too hot and humid.  I have lived on all four coasts and ten different states.  There is cool stuff to see all over the country but if you want jaw dropping scenery go out west.  Utah is my favorite and has by far the most national parks and national monuments of any state.  I did a ride back in 2015 in New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, and Colorado.  I did a ride report and took a lot of pictures.  The link is here: http://advrider.com/index.php?threads/southwest-by-versys.1066154/

Some samples of the scenery in those states:

Klaviator, great pics, and thanks for posting. Okay, that’s a tough act to follow. Wish I had seen more of Utah when I was there not counting the view from the airport.

I’ll just add traveling down the Pacific Coast Highway from Washington to California is an epic ride too.

I think I'll need to either retire, take a long sabbatical from work or pull the mother of all sickies to really appreciate what the US has to offer.

Thanks for the pics. Very inspiring.

Hey son, your dad's the most powerful man in the world. How do feel about that?



..if your a good boy, I'll let you play with my Global Thermonuclear Warfare computer game - it's so realistic!

Very interesting article and shots, Snorvey. I love photographing old buildings at night, so I really appreciated it. Thanks for posting!
