- oct to may Ariz Desert camping
may to oct Colorado RMNP,Vail,Leadville camping - at any given time Az offers any kind of weather. Desert in winter Mtns in summer and someplace in between for spring & fall. Anything I want is within 3 hrs of home. BTW has been in the mid 80's for the last couple of weeks in the Phx area. Haven't had to scrape windshields or shovel the walk.

Well, if the judge banged the hammer down and told me I had 10 minutes to pick where I'd be under house arrest for the next year, I suppose this would be my list. Somewhere in:
Winter: South Florida *
Spring: Central California Coastal (ie., north of Santa Barbara, south of Monterey)
Summer: The Oregon Coast
Fall: Adirondacks of New York State for the Fall leaf color spectacular (and perhaps to cheat a bit, follow that color change all the way down the Appalachian Mountains to Georgia as Fall moved south. (And then Florida would be right next door for the Winter season.)
While I like this list, we are both still working, so we spend most of our time on the Oregon coast for the four seasons.
Looking East and South this summer when we can get a couple of weeks of vacation.
* I'll always have a very special fondness for Florida in the Winter season. Quick trips down there during those miserable winters when I lived back east many years ago kept me going long enought to finally make it out to Southern California where I now have perpetual summers.- Michigan/Wisconsin in the Summer, Florida in the Winter, southern Illinois in the Spring/Fall.
- Winter - Florida but furthur south than I am - been a cold winter
Summer - anywhere in the Adirondack mountains of NY
Spring and Fall = Myrtle Beach hands down - Winter - Florida Keys
Summer - Maine & Atlantic Canada
Spring & Fall - Numerous options. - the black hills of SD and southern arizona

Decent temps and low humidity. Still, I prefer Michigan in summer despite the potential for skeeters and high humidity at times; it's just more beautiful there.
- Honestly, I think I like the places where others are not. If that isn't clear, I like to go in the opposite region as others, for a change. I like the Northern Rockies in Winter, or west to the San Juan Islands. Deserts in Summer and where ever there is fewer in the Fall and Spring. Best week I had this year was January in Island Park, Idaho. When it hit -30* I hit the road. I am not totally whacked. I guess because I have seen most of these places "in-season", doing it out is really fun.
Thinking about the end of the States in Washington for April.
