I’ve updated this post of every US National Park ranked; which now stands at 63. Rankings of course are all subjective and based on the voters or in this case, my experience and tastes. People will agree or disagree, some will call me a moron, scream and yell and some will simply add to their […]
Congaree National Park is Whatever
May 21, 2018 by 12 Comments
Congaree National Park was the 39th US National Park that I’ve visited. While it wasn’t my least favorite; that award goes to Hot Spring in Arkansas followed by Cuyahoga Valley in Ohio; it was down on the list for sure. Congaree National Park is whatever. It was basically a big swamp. If you’re really into […]
Driving to Big Bend National Park
May 14, 2018 by 2 Comments
Big Bend National Park is probably the most isolated US National Park in the contiguous 48 States-certainly that I’ve been to. Big Bend National Park takes some effort to get to any way you slice it.

Washington State, not Washington DC, is one of the most beautiful places in America. I have visited Washington State twice before, both times to Seattle and both trips revolved around sporting events-I tend to do that! This time, I planned a road trip around Washington State that would include visits to all three US National […]

October 13, 2014 by 20 Comments
The 30 Best North American States and Provinces is my latest list post and it was just as hard to narrow this list down to 30 as any of my other 30 Best lists. North America is such a diverse continent with so many different landscapes, cultures, languages and everything in between; even with only […]
