BTW, I met a woman and her children (no husband around) in Touloumne Meadows who told me after she found out that I live just 3 hours away and would camp and visit there at least yearly, on how lucky I am to have these where in "Texas, there is nothing."
I don't understand why someone from Texas would make that statement. Perhaps ignorance on her part. We have 13 National parks, forests, recreational areas and monuments in Texas and 51 state parks. Been to many of them and each has it's uniqueness and beauty.
LOL. Next time somebody tells you they just got home from a trip to wherever, ask what they did. Many will travel hundreds of miles to see a art gallery or museum. But go to a local one? No, everybody there came from the other city. Talk how great the Omaha zoo is, but if you have not been to the local Kansas City zoo how can you compare?
So very true!
I met someone from out of state who is familiar with the attractions within 30 minutes from my city.
I kept on being embarrassed when I have to respond that I've never been to the place she is so enamored about.
I was only able to give my ascent on the subject of local Bass Pro. I have to pull my wife when the topic turn to malls and shopping outlets.
