If you make it to California's :

Visit Yosemite National Park and go up to Mariposa Grove and see the Big Trees. I love them; they are so awesome.


Experience Disneyland. Say hi to Mickey for me.


Eat: Order Barbequed tri-tip somewhere. We don't really have too many regional dishes that I'm aware of. Buy some almonds, fresh grapes, peaches and raisins.

Drink: Any of our Napa Valley wines.

See the CN Tower.

Eat a Beaver Tail.

Experience a Stratford play.

Well, the CN Tower is in Toronto, obviously, and the play is in Stratford, obviously. The beaver tail will be hard to find... The best place would probably be Ottawa, but you'd be better off in Montreal, which is a very nice place as long as you never ever ever attempt to speak French. If you do, the people will hate you for as long as you live. Don't worry, they speak English...

See-Devil's Tower, Yellowstone National Park, Tetons, Fort Laramie, Wyoming Territorial Prison, Elk Mountain, Oregon/Bozeman/California Trails, etc.

Eat- Elk steak, buffalo meat, kettled popcorn, Copper's Poppers (actually a drink at a local bar).

Experience- People who don't treat each other badly, small town charms, close communities, a boom and bust economy (currently booming), a lot of historical sites, the Equality and Cowboy State (First State & Territory to give women the right to vote), and where Democrats can (and in some cases are, like the governor) quite Conservative.

Rest assured no other country is as great as the USA!

True, but Russia, Canada and China are greater (in square miles).

Yellowstone, Fort Laramie and Devils Tower were already on my list. I've eaten Buffalo and kettle corn. So I added everything else here. I passed through Laramie and ate at a Denny's right off 80 in Cheyenne. I wish I would have made it to Fort Laramie then. Evanston (btw) is the coldest place I have ever been to.

Not only Evanston, -20 to -40 is kind of common during winter here.

Come to beautiful Saratoga Springs, NY!!!! Visit the battlefield that was the turning point of the Revolutionary War!

Visit the natural springs and drink the same mineral water that Native Americans and famous Americans such as Washington traveled far to drink from! Supposedly has healing powers and offers strength!

Eat at the Olde Bryan Inn est 1773 such men as Washington and Hamilton have stayed there!

Visit the Yaddo Gardens, a 400 acre estate for artists to go to find themselves! Poe wrote part of "The Raven" there!

Most importantly, come during the track season and visit Saratoga Race Track, the oldest track in the US est 1865 and make millions on the ponies!!!

Same here. You can go 100 miles before the next town (sometimes more).
