I think it's kind of a Bucket List thing, and I loved everything about National Parks as a kid.
When we got an RV, we bought our age 62 $10 Lifetime senior passes to the NPs - what a gift! Then a relative gave me two National Geographic books with lots of pictures - one on National Parks and one on State Parks. Those gave me lots of ideas for trips to plan.
Our first long (two-month) trip was to the Four Corners Area, and it was an unforgettable trip of a lifetime for me. So many fantastic parks to visit. Such incredible red rock scenery!
And, by the way, those parks were full of European visitors and many from Asia who all were thrilled by our country's great treasures that I had never taken the time to see.
What I truly love about our RV trips is that they expand my interests so much... history, geography, geology, etc. - kind of like school for grown-ups except so much more fun because you pick what you want to "study," make all the decisions, and spend as much or as little time there as you wish.
You get ideas from friends and other RVers, one thing leads to another, and then your "Bucket" is always full of exciting new places to go.
