Road Trip!

No, but your pace hasn't slowed down.

When you say you despise this place, do you mean Ohio?

[AdagioM]

Come say hi in Portland!

[Mik]

Sounds fun. How is Ron doing with the Mediterranean diet?

[Steve Miller]

@Mik He’s lost some 50 pounds now and the meals he eats all sound fantastic!

I didn't know you hated Cleveland, but I can't say I'm terribly surprised. The transition from LA/San Diego to Ohio was hard for me when I moved back. i can only imagine what it must be like for you.

If you go through St. Louis, I've always wanted to see the Cahokia Mounds. Ancient Indigenous site. If yo do get up to Oregon, we like Cannon Beach, and of course Portland is arguably one of the most beautiful cities in America.

There's always the southern Utah and northern Arizona sites, which we will take in at Christmas - Sedona, Petrified Forest, Painted Desert, Beringer Crater, Flagstaff, St. George and Cedar City Utah. If you go through Amarillo keep your eyes peeled for the Cadillac Ranch. Somehow we missed it last time even though we had it on GPS. Id already seen it a couple times.

Planning a road trip in March, to include the travel trailer and my friend Ron of some 50 years. We’re planning something like a month.

Thelma and Louise, take 2, the Steve and Ron edition....

And Mary Anna has mentioned them in one of her Faye Longchamp mysteries!

That’s interesting, I don’t think of Portland as a beautiful city. Although there are all those bridges on the Willamette River.

But I do agree that Cannon Beach is wonderful! It’s a great little town, and the tide pools at Haystack Rock are very cool.

I’ve been to Portland twice and it’s indeed a beautiful city. The Japanese garden is the finest I’ve ever seen.

I also like the way they handle traffic. No left turns. If you want to turn left you make three right turns.

Southern Utah is amazing--i especially love Zion NP. New Mexico is also worth exploring. I really like Silver City, and of course Taos and Santa Fe.

Sorry to hear you don't like where you live. But this road tripsounds like the perfect antidote.

[Steve Miller]

I haven’t been to Zion since 1969. I’d like another look for sure!
