Hello everyone. I am going to be travelling through your state this summer and I want to hear about everything fun, interesting, or weird going on in your state. It can be something you like to do or just something odd you have heard about.
Don’t leave anything you might think of out. Art museum or worlds largest wad of prechewed gum? Skydiving or knitting championship? Where is a good fishing spot? What cave should I explore? What is the best view? Where do your local monsters live and what paranormal oddities have you heard of? Tractor pulls? Classical music or \m/metal\m/ venues? Hang gliding? Cockroach racing? Did Washington sleep here or did Elvis pee here? Which state park should I visit or should I stop by your churches ice cream social instead?
When I pass by your city should I stop in the restaurant owned by a famous chef or would I be happier visiting the VFW to meet the guy that does the Thursday Liver Fry? Do you have a small and unique regional soda bottler? Brewery? Distillery?!? What regional food should I stop to try?
Post it or FRmail if youre more comfortable with that.
THANKS!
Sounds like phishing to me. Hard pass.

Laura Ingalls’ house is in Mansfield MO
There’s a big Bass Pro Shops in Springfield.
Iowa is a Free State and no restrictions for Covid.
Or rather, we ignore them.
Stop and enjoy a pork Tenderloin someplace in Iowa. Pretty famous around here.
I actually enjoyed traveling to Detroit.
Got stuck in traffic once, and a guy got out and started making balloon animals for all of us. We ended up having a bit of a picnic while sitting on the freeway.
River walk was fun, though I had a local with me. Went to some Greek place and had great food.
Cumberland Gap national park in the morning. With a shortwalk a spetacular sight and weather phenominun.
For a good time in California I’d suggest Idaho or Utah.
Well, you aren’t hitting NH during bike week. All over tomorrow. What a great time. Not a mask to be seen. Other than that, Mount Washington is the place to go. Highest peak east of the Mississippi. Drive to the summit on a harrowing tiny road or be jerked up the mountain on the NH cog railway all done in a few hours.
Happy Trails to you.
Excellent Greek food here! There used to be a thriving Greektown on Monroe Street near Downtown. Still a couple good restaurants there but in fact they are all over the place now.
Ha. ...beat me to it...

Perch on Fridays at Prush’s - 12th and Eureka in Wyandotte Michigan....
if you are going to Orlando FL, avoid Didney and check out The warbirds Museum in Kissimmee. You might even get to fly a WW2 Navy Texas T-6. (I did!)
On a similar note…
Shortly after entering VA, one sees the sign “Welcome to Virginia’s Technology Corridor!” followed by little more than trees & grass for 300 miles.
While I've not made it there yet, Chena Hot Springs Resport in Alaska is also on my bucket list, and worth looking into.
Here in FL I'll recommend The National Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola (although visit the web site first to learn about COVID-era visitor restrictions). Also, I'll recommend the Ringling Museum in Sarasota, FL.
The Gulf Drive Cafe' near Anna Maria Island - right on the beach - often has live entertainment and has a key lime coconut cake that ... well .. words fail!
When driving through Florida I recommend any Sonny's BBQ restaurant. I'll be visiting Sonny's for Father's Day tomorrow, in fact.
Manatees and ancient Indian mounds in West Central Florida -— plus, due to the great Gov. Ron DeSantis, Florida is wide open for fun!
Virginia Tech was originally an agricultural college.
