Yeah, same here. Gettysburg was a surprise hit with my two sons, both teenagers. History tends to bore them (to my complete dismay), but between the visitor's center and the tour, they really liked it. It came in second place for my PA trip, tied with feeding the ducks at the place we were staying. |

Did the leaf tour from upper NY to Maine and back a few years ago. Loved it. Of course as others have said living in the Midwest driving anywhere on a winding road is pretty cool.

And your picture below looks alot like Western Kansas. There is nothing alive out there except maybe a few cattle. It is so windy out that way I don't see how anyone could live out there. |

The Maine Lobster Festival is a great time. If you can't have a great time in Maine, there is always 6 Flags or Silver Dollar City. Or an Indian Casino.

I respectfully disagree with Mr. Rainman.
I stayed in Kennebunkport and made a couple of trips down into Portland and some surrounding areas. I found it to be a fantastic, very pretty state. I can only kind of disagree with Bugeater. Wyoming was, in fact, one of the most desolate spaces I have ever seen in my life. Until I continued further north into Montana and then drove through the high desert up there. We were on a motorcycle trip and got pretty far west into Montana before circling back towards the black hills (essentially made a giant squarish sort of thing starting in Colorado Springs). We were at open throttle across almost literally the entire state. That would've been terrifying but/for the fact that the road had no features to scare you; no turns, no hills - just a road that vanished due to the eventual curvature of the earth. The landscape has nothing that might hide wildlife which could jump in front of you. There are no cars that might turn in front of you or police presence that might be annoyed by your rate of travel. You could just go 120 mph for hours because there is literally nothing there. Wyoming was desolate but I've never seen anything like Montana. This overpopulation nonsense is bullshit - there's plenty of space for people. They just don't want to live where it's cold... |

Yeah, not too many people there, and that's why we're thinking about moving there. Cold? It gets cold here in the midwest. I'll take it. |
