    I've been south to San Antonio Tx and Bia San Quentin Baja (sounds more like canteen that the Cali prison) north to some little town on I-5 east of Vancouver and north of Seattle and Calgary AB .

    Baja Mexico
    Alberta Canada
    Washington State
    Oregon
    California , my birth was registered in Bakersfield .
    Arizona
    Nevada
    Idaho
    Montana
    Utah
    New Mexico
    Kansas those 8 months were the longest 5 yr of my life .
    Wyoming , Buford is a stupid place to leave a car .
    Nebraska
    Oklahoma
    Arkansas
    Missouri
    Illinois , my daughter graduated from Great Lakes .
    Indiana , Bloomfield , home of the Handyman Jack .

    I did it all on my dime with as many as 4 kids in tow except for Calgary AB . I did drink a Labetts in the bar from Cool Runnings . I got to crawl around in the Lancaster Bomber in Nanton before it was much more than a plane in a barn .

    I grew up about 35 miles from the ejection seat canopy failure scene site in the first Top Gun movie and about 75 miles from the long time home of the actual Bonnie and Clyde car as well as the one time huge Harrah's automobile collection .

    I once dreamed of standing in the shadow of the Victors Arch in Rome and Paris but having been to London Bridge cured that need . For those that don't know the Lake Havasu land mark is the actual falling down bridge where Wm Wallace had his head hung after that whole whooping he laid down on Edward the First's Army .
    I've been to the Roadkill Cafe and stood on that corner in Winslow Az .

    Albuquerque is as weird as it's spelling , Tucumcari and Xuzax are different but seem pretty friendly .

    I liked Groom Tx until I realized what it looked like I was seeing nice people but definitely a "the intrastate is over there" kind of vibe . Nice cross though .
    If you are artsy I would recommend you see the Cadillac Ranch soon because it will probably be crumbling under the weight of the paint in another 5-10 yr .

    Bonneville looks different than you would expect . Canyon Lands and Arches national parks still shine . SLC is just another city .

    Minden Nebraska has a pretty cool walk through park/museum thing .

    There's a lot of cool wild west stuff all along US 54 from Tucumcari up across Oklahoma to Salina and Liberal Ks . The state fair is pretty good too .

    I live about 40 miles from Mansfield AR now . It boasts a pretty big saw mill and a Guinness book and Ripley's cemetery/grave yard . It's not however famous for being the resting place of the actor Arthur Hunicutt , it's because it has US 71 running through the middle of it and it's the only one of it's kind .

    Baja was Amazing 30 yr I don't think I'd go back now . Turns out where we often fished just off the bay is a seal island ........every yr it sees an influx just in time for the pupping season of great whites , as many as 30 known and identified regulars of 16-18' and a bunch of little ones just 12-14' ..........I didn't know that but I had a moment when I learned that I felt pretty small and helpless in that 16' Glasspar . It was a pretty awesome day fishing with my Dad , Grandfather , and 2 sons .
    In the time of darkest defeat,our victory may be nearest. Wm. McKinley.

    I was young and stupid then I'm older now. Me 1992 .

    Without trial we cannot learn and grow . It is through our stuggles that we become stronger .
    Brother I'm going to be Pythagerus , DiVinci , and Atlas all rolled into one soon .

    I've been to the Eiffel Tower in Paris Texas! When in France skipped Paris and went to Normandy!
    When guns are outlawed only criminals and the government will have them and at that time I will see very little difference in either!

    Been to a bunch of places, but one that I have been to that I have not seen listed yet is Fanning Island. Part of the line Islands in the central Pacific.
    There is no difference between communism and socialism, except in the means of achieving the same ultimate end: communism proposes to enslave men by force, socialism—by vote. It is merely the difference between murder and suicide. Ayn Rand

    I been to see the Elephant.
    “You should tell someone what you know. There should be a history, so that men can learn from it.

    He smiled. “Men do not learn from history. Each generation believes itself brighter than the last, each believes it can survive the mistakes of the older ones. Each discovers each old thing and they throw up their hands and say ‘See! Look what I have found! Look upon what I know!’ And each believes it is something new.
