Bucket list?

We don't have a list yet. We have a lot of places on our minds for when we are retired and can take as long as we desire. I get ideas from this site and Trip Advisor and just googling areas. It is time consuming but it is my therapy. I have discovered thing to do and places to see that we may have been disapointed if we learned of them after the trip. Such as riding ATV's along the Oregon Dunes; the slot canyon tour near Page, AZ; hiking trails at Turkey Run SP in Indiana; Slide Rock SP in the Oak Creek canyon in AZ; Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park near Crescent City, CA; Colorado River Discovery raft trip at Page, AZ; Hot Springs Lodge and Pool in Glenwood Springs, CO; Float trip on the Current and Jacks Fork Rivers in Southern Missouri; camping by the White River under the Dam at Bull Shoals Lake in AR; Virginia Creeper bike/hike trail at Damascus, VA. So if you find yourself in these areas these places were worth the stop. I would visit them again.
Safe travels,
Marcia

Yeah you're right, we probably will..... It's just that's a BIG trip! That would be quite the adventure for sure!

I've been on the Dalton HWY twice, once all the way to Atigun Pass, just not in my truck. :B

Don't forget the small stuff. When we stop for the night, we always ask, "what is there to see in the area"? We have found some unbelievable hidden gems that way, that we didn't know existed.
They are some of our best memories.

I've got this Bucket List Notebook of the sites and states we want to visit. Its so detailed that I even have where to fill up and restaurants to try. BUT as all "bucket lists " its geared to what we enjoy seeing. The Roy part of Roy and Lynne loves old Masonic buildings, museums and Civil War history. The Lynne part loves Birding, Geology and all things Native American. So each stop includes that and if we see a brown sign along the road, we will usually include a detour to see what is there.

I don't have a bucket list except to be able to keep rving. I do look back at the things I've done in my life that I've done and some of them are bucket list. Lots of traveling and tent camping all over the country when I was a kid with my parents and three bro and a sister. A lot of backpacking in Washington and Oregon with family and friends. I have backpacked all but 10-15 miles of ther Pacific Crest trail in Washington,done the trail around Rainer,once in sections and once all at once. I worked as a lay chaplain for the Presbyterian Church on a 65' boat in Southeast Alaska for 9 months. I have flown twice on a B-17 and was an inflight refueler on a KC-97G refueling B-47s and B-52s. I have been to all but two states, but probably won't get to those as one's Vermont and the other is La. I've had a good life and am relatively healthy with somer goood kids,several grandkids and a great grandkid and a great wife.
