Born and raised in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, lived there for the first 35 years of my life and never went to Key West. Never went to the Keys at all except once to hunt deer on a 2nd cousin's private island, Lignumvitae Key to be specific.

Kinda bummed when we lived in the Potlandia area I never took my wife up to Olympic National Park or Mt Rainier. Saw both of them on foot, a whole bunch of hiking and climbing way back when I was a young man. Fantastic parks, my wife will likely never get to see them now.
Did take her to the Lava Beds Nat Mon last year though, another cool place. Keep seeing the signs to go to Capt Jack's Stronghold and Canby's Cross. Interesting history there, nice little Indian War that doesn't get covered much in American History class.
Mt Lassen might be on the agenda in the future, although the wife isn't too interested.

Never went to Olympic NP although I lived within a few hours for many years. Someone asked me before, why, I said, I lived in a forest, don't need to drive to see one. Duhh!
I lived in Vegas for about 9 months and never went to see the Grand Canyon.

Didn't even get a chance to look through them observation binos on the back deck.

Haven't been to the Derby or the Ark. Probably won't.
Glad I've been to a few other Ky. attractions though, Fort Boonesborough, Fort Harrod & the museum, Mammoth Cave, Daniel Boones last Ky residence, etc.
The big snake is in Ohio BTW, it's called Serpent Mound & I find it both scenic, interesting & educational.

I lived in Vegas for about 9 months and never went to see the Grand Canyon. We lived in the area over 5 years................finally made the drive out to the West End on the Rez, before they built the glass walkway. Was thinking about going to the Official US of A version after my elk hunt this year, got to Flag to visit my bro and found out it was a longer trip to the "Ditch" than I had figured from Flagstaff. Gonna hafta wait for another day now. That Cataract Canyon in my hunting pic thread is quite impressive though. My cell pics don't do it any kind of justice. Geno

I was totin' my pack along the dusty Winnemucca road, When along came a semi with a high and canvas-covered load. "If you're goin' to Winnemucca, Mack, with me you can ride." And so I climbed into the cab and then I settled down inside. He asked me if I'd seen a road with so much dust and sand. And I said, "Listen, I've traveled every road in this here land!"
I've been everywhere, man. I've been everywhere, man. Crossed the desert's bare, man. I've breathed the mountain air, man. Of travel I've a-had my share, man. I've been everywhere.
