Quite frankly, the most fun and learning experiences will be found in the smaller towns and less advertised commercial attractions. We always enjoy visiting the local museums, visiting with the local folks, and visiting the local Elks lodge if one is located close by.
Order some local newspapers from the smaller towns you visit and investigate some of their community functions. I still subscribe to the local newspaper of my small hometown and we really enjoy taking in some of the community functions we are able to visit for a few day.
There is some much to see, learn, and be a participant in this wonderful Country, I don't think one could ever even start to experience all the treasures in a lifetime.
How does one become an Elk, Dick? I understand the Elks Clubs have free RV hook ups for members across the country. Id there an online directory of the Elks Clubs with hook ups?
Almost any small town newspaper is free online. As well, any small town library is a font of local information. Easy peasy to find these local librarys - just ask anyone!
