How many places of these have you been?

I count 14 I've been to. But I'd love to see Yellowstone and Mt Rushmore on 2 wheels.

 

Yeah but you been to a GTG in Pennsylvania. You're good in my book.

 

Multnomah and Willamette are both Indian (Native American) Names that have been Englishized ( not a real word?)

Bonneville, as in Bonneville Dam is sometimes verbally butchered as Boneyville, but is properly pronounced as Bonnaville, like the well known Salt Flats

Oregon and Washington have a lot of Native American names, that can sometimes be ah, uhm, a bit challenging to pronounce,

I would Love to hear how many would pronounce

Puyallup,
a town near Seattle/Tacoma


Doug

 

And you one in Michigan brother.

 

I’ve been to one in Springfield, OR. It was an Excellent and Enjoyable experience, unfortunately schedules and locations have prevented me from attending any others, but I would definitely go to another in a heartbeat if the schedules and location lined up again

It was one promoted on another website, I met a lot of interesting people, and no doubt would meet many at a GTG promoted on this site as well

3 from the list.

I would put a clear Wyoming night sky with no moon on that list. Out around Muddy Gap between Casper & Rawlins.

The Badlands should be on there as well.

History & beauty are all what the beholder wants to see & get from the experience.

I could give a rats azz less about some on that list.

 

Only Fort Sumter.

 

11 for me.

 

It's a good time for sure.

 

I think it's 10 for me. Lot's more to see before I check out (and a few I'll avoid).

 

I wouldn’t embarrass myself by even trying to pronounce that one just off the spelling, without having heard it said at least once

Another one, from the Idaho Panhandle that is butchered mercilessly is Pend Oreille, which is a County and a very large Lake

Those with knowledge of the French language might get it right, but very few others will, it is pronounced with more syllables than the spelling would make you think

I've been to 8.

 

Did you go to Brockport? I grew up there as a kid

 

Yes I did go to Brockport in the early ‘80s.

 

NYC is
Times Square, Empire State Building, Statue of liberty and a quick Bus trip to Philadelphia for liberty bell and where Documents were signed.

Then Washington DC is White House, Arlington National Cemetery, Washington monument and many more..

Most children east of the Mississippi, IMO should see these things instead of sitting in class rooms listening to a teacher talk about history.. see the history.. Valley Forge, Potomac river, civil war have meaning.
West of should see Yellowstone, Mount Rushmore etc etc

here High School education cost 17,000 a year and kid learn so little

 

Field trips can be extremely worthwhile. Growing up in south Jersey, we always took field trips into Philly so see such things as: the Liberty Bell, the Betsy Ross House, Independence Hall, the Philadelphia Mint, etc.

 

Not me, I ain't been nowhere. Good song though.
