    No biggie. I suppose a good road trip would get me the rest of the states and Canada. I would like to visit Machu Picchu some time. Who knows?!

    You need to tell the "powers that be" to send you to "beautiful" Fort Polk. Then you can scratch that off your list.

    Been to a bunch of those listed above and many are on my to do list. But the most out of the way place, at least for me, was Easter Island.
    Some times it's the pot,
    Some times it's the pan,
    It might even be the skillet,
    But, most of the time, it's the cook.

    That’s the same as asking me to name all my old girlfriends. I could come up with most of them, but I’m sure some would be forgotten.

    US states I've lived in? Idaho, Washington, Iowa, California, Tennessee, Arizona, and Hawaii. US states I've visited? The before mentioned plus MT, ND, SD, UT, NV, NE, MN, MO, OK, KS, CO, NM, TX, OR, FL, and GA.

    Countries include Mexico, Kuwait, UAE, Philippines, Singapore, Hong Kong, South Korea, Japan, and Canada.

    Of all the places I've lived and visited, I still come back home to the Northwest. But, Arizona still calls my name. Wonderful variety of ecosystems and terrain with mostly conservative values.

    Lower 48, AK, MX, Canada... but I come back to northern MN as my favorite place to visit. When I was young and in good shape I would do a 2 week solo canoe trip in the Boundary Waters. Carried minimal food in with me and ate off the land as I went. It was easy to catch fish and I brought in cooking oil, bit f flour, and S&P for fried fish at night. Breakfast was panfish in foil packets that cooked int he coals f the previous nights fire. Let it cook as I broke camp for he next leg of the trip. I tool routes that were rarely traveled and often went 2 weeks without seeing another human! Those routes had challenging portages to get around the rapids between lakes!

    From Illinois west and south to Kentucky, then east to Georgia. I have never visited the North East except to fly out of. Germany, Albania, Greece, Italy, Canada, Mexico, Uruguay, Argentina, Chile, Falkland Islands.
    As far as preference, there is no better week than hunting or fishing and not seeing anyone outside of your party. Even better if you can stand 3 of 4 days by yourself.
