  In my trips/adventures, I try to get a shot glass from each location that represents either the city or state that I visited.
  I have quite a few now. *wide grin*

  There are nice places... and not so nice places. I have a 'list' of places that I want to go too. Australia is one of 'em.

  Regards,

  It would be easier to count the ones I haven't been to. Off the top of my head, I haven't been to Maine, Vermont, Delaware, Massachusetts(I'll be there in a few weeks though - Boston area), South Carolina, Florida, Alabama, and North Dakota.

  The places that really stand out in my mind for beauty are:

  • Kebler Pass in the fall, mid-late September (leaving Crested Butte, CO)
  • Maroon Bells area in the fall, late-September (Aspen, CO)
  • Yellowstone National Park, anytime of year (NW Wyoming)
  • Northern Michigan including the coastal areas of the UP
  • Rogue River area east of Grants Pass(Oregon)
  • Anza-Borrego State Park, CA - The palm tree oasis(amazing oasis considering the location)
  • Fish Lake, Utah - preferably in the fall
  • and many, many more...
