B&O Railway museum - keep meaning to - http://www.borail.org

worked near and at the stone mtn park carving so long that i never gave it a second glance.

what are you thinking of?

maybe what?

There's a big state sign on I-75 about 2/3rds of the way to Cincinnati,....

BIG BONE LICK STATE PARK

Any way you read it,..I cain't see what it has to do with me.

The Grotto in West Bend, Iowa.

I’ll have to study on that. I can’t think of anything I haven’t seen.

'nuff said...have been there......no need to return

The society for the prevention of the continuation of country and western music.



LOL!!!

Huntsville Space & Rocket Center- - - -35 miles away, never been there. Maybe one day!
Jerry

Has anyone ever been to the Lum & Abner museum????

^^^This^^^

If it’s close to me, I’ve more than likely seen it.

Ryman Auditorium

And

The corvette musuem


Don't give a squirt about either one.

what about that big snake in indiana or ohio. i don't know.

somebody keeps the grass mowed close?

things happening that i don't understand?

Mount Rushmore is not that far away, I've just not gotten the urge to drive there.

I was born, raised and lived 35 years about 40 miles from Alcatraz. Many years later, while living outside Houston we made a visit to my parents and my wife insisted we visit the island. Great tour.

Definitely worth the drive.

Oh one other.


Bell Witch Cave.

Aint no fugging way Im ever going to that place.

I do have full intentions of going to Shiloh.

I just seem to always end up gettin wasted on tequila in the Hatchie River bottoms at a buds camphouse. lol

The Las Vegas Strip and Glitter Gulch, except for a few exceptional restaurants.


mike r

KY Derby. No desire to go.

I live in the middle of all kinds of historic attractions.

'You can't turn a corner without finding a historic marker where Daniel Boone knocked an indian in the head,..or somethin'.

I live within eight miles of the world's largest popcorn ball, I drive by and see people taking pictures.

Have lived less than 3 hours from Crater Lake for my whole 64 years...Never been there and have no plans to go..

Hmmmm???

I went after school one time just me and 17 year old little miss slumlord and her bestie.

It was the perfect set up for a hatchet murder and nothing happened.


You can do this man, cmon

I'll sing thunder buddies when we go. lol

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.

I enjoyed it. Except for my wife and daughter gettin into a fight while driving the loop.

Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesen. 10 miles away, never had the desire...

hopefully that's the horse race, right?


Geno

Was going to tell Santiam I can PM him some pics if he wanted. We're about 3 hours away so we did the tourist thing earlier this year.

Geno

the KY is not hymenated, so yeah...gotta be the horse one

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.

Geno

hymenated

That's a Joooish term, right?

Geno

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.

Drove up to hurricane ridge back this summer.

Someone ripped one of them SBD "time tunnel" farts in the gift shop.

My gawd, I started gagging

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.

Lived in Missouri 53 of my 54 years and have not been the the Gateway Arch in St Louis.

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

Been to Lassen though, right?

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!"

oh that's fun

Ride the capsule coaster to the top

I stomped a couple-three times on the middle floor panel at the top of the arch, I think made some people nervous. Hahaha

Not yet. Eagle Lake and environs, but not on Lassen.

Geno

You should go, if for no other reason but escaping the wet side! It is worth the drive!

Nothing to hunt in there so have no interest..

Did take the wife to Painted Hills,but only because it was during the rut and I took the long way back looking for mulie bucks..



Found some too,

Lake Palestine River Boat Rides. I know I'd enjoy it...

Reagan Library. Ramona Bowl. Joshua Tree National Monument. Palm Springs Tram. La Brea Tar pits. Santa Anita Race Track. I'd never been to Seaworld before this year. I'm 62 and lived in SoCal for 61 years.

Thomas Jefferson's Monticello, Appomattox's Courthouse Nat. Park, Shenandoah Nat. Park

Dinosaur State Park. Drive by it once a week.

Still aint going...

Caddo Mounds about 80 miles South of me. Also the Audie Murphy Museum in Greenville.

Graceland

Pikes Peak, Aspen

Did get a tour of Cheyenne Mountain before 9/11. Cool as anything you can imagine.

Flight 93 Memorial.
25 miles away.
It started as gawkers One local farmer bought a big van,
Based his "tours" 25 miles from his home, opposite the crashsite.
That made it look like he was doing something great.
Threw in the driveby at the Quecreek Mine Site.
His barn should have smoked for exploiting those things.


Made such a bad impression, I won't go up there.
I know as much as anyone what happened that day,
I don't need to look at a field and concrete to try and
Impress people.

They should have planted corn. A field was wasted.
It sure doesn't change anything.

Anything Magnolia in Waco!

That looks awesome!

Graceland , grand ol Opry

Denali NP.

I have to drive through there on my way up to my up north house, but I refuse to stop or spend time or money on Nazi Park Circus lands. The fahqin place can burn to a moonscape for all I care.

Always wanted to hike up to see the grasshopper glacier. Just never done it. Maybe next summer.

I dont think there are any attractions close by.

Dayton, OH air museum, Kentucky Derby, Patton Museum at Fort Knox.

NASCAR Hall of Fame.

The CMR isn't too shabby, I like the Slippery Ann area , if I remember the name correctly. How far is that from where you live?



mike r

Plymouth Rock.

Yosemite Valley in Yosemite National Park.

There's that pink church....

Silver Dollar City and the Branson Strip (MO) is about 75 miles away, but takes a 2 1/2 hour drive on a good day. Been to the Strip but not SDC. Just not my thing . . .

Nicollet Tower & Interpretive Center

See three states atop the 75 ft. tower. Enjoy the film "Dakota Encounters" about French map maker Joseph N. Nicollet's 1830's mapping of the area. See Nicollet's map and John Wilson's original artwork.


Built by local banker Harold Torness who started out as a fur trader. He thought highly of Nicollet and thought the Coteau des Prairies region was missing out promoting tourism.

The tower was known locally as Harold's Erection which I'm sure gave the old guy a grin. Harold was quite a character.

OKC Murrah Bldg. Bombing Memorial - Downtown OKC - I still don't understand the reason you would memorialize a murder scene.

Grant's Birthplace. It's kind a quirky thing. My folks took me there for the first time back about 1965. It was a Sunday ride up river after church, one of those adventures that my dad was meant to "Blow the sink off." We drove all the way to Mount Pleasant and. . . Closed.

Now you have to understand that the birthplace of U.S. Grant is no big deal. It's just this little white house off RT 52. You can pretty much see the whole thing through the windows. The ride on RT 52 is really spectacular-- better than the crappy little house. I make the trip once or twice a year just for the view, only I stop short of going all the way to Mt Pleasant. I take the ferry at Augusta.

It's a rare thing that I am all the way out there. Maybe once every 5-10 years. The next time I remember going to Grant's Birthplace was in 1967. My folks stopped by on the way to our grand tour of Williamsburg, Monticello, Jamestown, Yorktown, Mt Vernon-- the obligatory American History trip of childhood. Guess what we found? Closed.

My next try was when we had Driver's Ed in 1974. The instructor and 3 of my high school chums went the whole way on a hot August afternoon. Closed.

Since then I've been out that way dozens of times. Most of the time it's in the winter; Grant's Birthplace is closed after September. I don't even check. It's become a real thing. My guess is that I'll have to wait until I retire and go up on a weekday in the summer.

I want to go see the little big horn, now that I am about 4 hours away.

The slumlord and renegade show is close to me, and I've never seen them. Guess I need to remedy that someday, but I'm afraid they'll follow me back and find out where I'm hunting arrowheads.

Now that's a shame! One of my favorite places. At least during the off season!

National Air & Space Museum at Dulles Airport in VA.

Biggest ball of twine in Minnesota.

It's in Darwin MN, I don't know where that is.

Crystal Cave in Spring Valley.. . Lotta people go there, but I've never been to it.. About 12 miles away... Just no interest, FWIW..

Me and you may be the only two who know who they were, at least among those with any of our teeth left.

I'm waiting for the Bob & Ray Trophy Train to come to town.

Lots of stuff in D.C. I've not seen in years, or decades, but it's just not worth the hassle now.

I worked in town for ten years and liked to walk between locations rather than ride the subway. Saw a bunch just doing that. One of the last things I saw was the monument to the 911 victims at the Pentagon. Visited it about 2am, just two of us. It's a very simple and effective tribute, especially at night.

Little League Hall of Fame comes to mind. The same place where Little League world series is played. People come from pretty far to see that place. Me, I am 30 minutes away and have never been there.

You should go there out of honor and respect. There isn't anything to see at the Vietnam Memorial either. Both are holy sacred places.

I’ve not yet been to the Musician’s Hall of Fame in Nashville.

I have been to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Country Music Hall of Fame, and even the Bluegrass Hall of Fame.

I picked a good day



El Cap

And dont skip out on Mariposa Grove on the other side of the mountain

and wipe out your walmart clearances on the same trip!

My wife took a winter photography class in Yosemite Valley. She said it was spectacular and a little scary due to so many tree limbs snapping from fresh snow. She said some of them sounded like a shotgun going off when they snapped.

Shoshone Ice Caves. Driven by there hundreds of times and never stopped to take a look.

Thought the biggest ball of twine was in Cawker City, Kansas???

And I have stopped there.

Been to the Indy 500 44 times but have never been in the museum

Pictograph Caves are maybe 40 miles away. Pretty impressive from the pictures I have seen. Never been there.

Had never been to Little Big Horn Battle Field and cemetery until last year. I have lived about 50 miles from it for almost 20 years and Major Reno was an ancestor of my step-father's.

Yes, but I said the biggest ball of twine in Minnysoda!

The Biggest Ball Of Twine In Minnesota-Weird Al Yankovic ...

With the church youth group on a road trip to Duluth. Was on a kids bucket list. He is a big Weird Al fan.

Mount Saint Helens.

Two hours away and I've never taken the time to drive up and take a close look at the results of a whole mountain blowing it's top.

I do know what it's like to have it come down on me though.
