Las Vegas!
I swear, somebody auto to take you out back and lay in the switch to you.
No just kidding. Everyone can certainly appreciate your answer of Vegas. Good family fun.
I remember doing some real golfing on at Virginia Beach. It is good to hear it hasn't lost its luster down there. Where I grew up in NJ back in the sixties, the Jersey shore was a magnet and on the whole marvelous. However, a recent visit to the most memorable spot of Seaside Height brought horror when I discovered what appeared to be a bombed out section of tourism that mocked the early years I remembered. A beach ghost town.
One park that you might be referring to would be the Rocky Mountain National Park in northern Colorado. The wildlife is undiminished there (but in a different sense than is found in Las Vegas:)) In the RMNP you have the highest paved road in America (nanner, nanner to California) called Trail Ridge Rd.

I had hoped someone would introduce something new, fascinating, and protected from the great spotlights that celebrities can bring to a place.
Happy Friday to ya'
You are loved and appreciated :-)

Gecko, I have to tellya I still remember that voice recording from Christmas and wow! What a nice sexy voice you had. Gee, I hope the Mrs. doesn't mind I say that of course.
You both are too generous. I wish I could spend a greater time to be able to share with the rest of you but time moves too quickly. Thank you.
That is one of the few states where I haven't been yet. On my way.
close is Saguaro National Park in Tucson, AZ
Big Sur
Many beaches along the Oregon/ Washington coast line!
Sunshine Rider
So much of the US I have seen
But so much that you mentioned I have not.
Certainly the tundra at Trailridge and what the Coloradoans call the "national divide" (because waters flow either into the Mississippi basin or the Pacific Ocean from there)has been a familiar place. But without seeing Big Sur or the coasts of Washington or Oregon, I am left just thanking you.
