Thank you everyone for all the great information. I'm really looking forward to a time when I can actually travel, but until then I'm planning my trips and dreaming.
I grew up in the Berkshires of Western Massachusetts and my dad was a trucker. He took me on several trips throughout New England, so I've seen a lot of the Northeast. I spent 22 years in the Air Force and lived in Texas, Illinois, New Mexico, Germany, Louisiana, Southern California, and Florida. My favorite parts of the country all have mountains. I really miss them and I'm looking forward to seeing them again.
Thanks again for all the input. I'll be looking forward to seeing some of you one my travels.
