Places We WOULDN'T Like to Visit...or Would We?

Sparky was just messing around on the internet today and came across several different lists of unsual city names in the U.S. after reading a similar column in an old Reader's Digest ...That got her to thinking....(Which is usually a dangerous thing, explains E.) Everybody has places that they WANT to visit....how about places you wouldn't visit or go back to because of a bad experience? We haven't had any bad experiences in our three years out on the road, but we don't think we would want to head out to....

Yellow Water, FL---we might get sick....Roachtown, IL--we've had our share of regional bugs wherever we've gone....So guess that rules out Mosquitoville, VT....

Somebody might want to visit Hooker Corner, IN--but it's not going to be us. (Are you sure? wonders E.) Positively sure....Sparky thinks she'd like to visit Disco, IL as she LOVES to dance....But we'd better be careful and not get anybody ticked off in Athol, ID (don't say THAT with a lisp!)....Lots of bloggers have gone through Truth or Consequences, NM  but not won any prizes, we're sure....Hopeulikit, GA is really wanting your tourist dollars, be sure to stop on your way through....Sparky for sure would get lost trying to find Covert, NY, she probably would never find it with her spatially challenged sense of direction....For sure, we are NOT going to Tick Bite, NC...but we might think about a rest stop in Peepee, OH.  Be sure your auto/RV insurance policies are up to date if you pass through Burnt Store, FL, Burnt Chimney, Burnt Pass, or Burnt Tree, the last three all in Vermont. A lot of people might want to visit Weed, CA....maybe some retired hippees?

Any interest in Hellhole Palms, CA? No? Well, you could always attend some local boxing events that are probably popular in Knockemstiff, in Ohio....Sparky thinks Eek, AL might have some scary stuff to see....

OK, enough of that silliness for now...On to the next topic of the day! What's on your travel bucket list?  Everybody has places they'd love to see and explore...We'd love to hear! We will share ours, if you will share yours. We'll go first. It's very general in term of state or locale. However, Sparky has seen some cool stuff lately on a specific place to visit, the Thorncrown Chapel  in the woods near Eureka Springs, Arkansas, in the Ozarks. THAT spot is HIGH on Sparky's list of future destinations.

So, Sparky posed this question to Eldo, "Where would you like to go that you haven't been yet?" and he was stumped....Sparky's going to help him out with a few....Boulder, Colorado and the whole state itself...We haven't made it there yet, but hope to....Minnesota, Sparky wants to kayak in the land of a thousand lakes.....The Arches National Park and Bryce Canyon....in Utah.....There are FIVE national parks in Utah, making this a great destination and one we need to repeat.. We've been to Zion National Park but we need to check out the other parks there, too! Sparky thinks she would like to go on a tall ship sailing cruise, or a big sailing vessel cruise. Sparky wants to go to Alaska to see, what else? MOOSE! LOTS of them! Eldy has been there, so no big deal for him, but it's on Sparky's bucket list. Sparky also thinks after visiting the National Park Service website for suggested getaway trips, that some of the lesser known areas/destinations would be WONDERFUL places to visit....

Not only are the common national parks that we haven't seen yet on our bucket list, we would be adding others to our list if we researched a little more...We like to find the out- of -the- ordinary places, like the chapel listed above...We usually stumble on those as we travel...Some of the coolest destinations in the U.S. are not in national parks or big cities, they are hidden gems waiting to be discovered, off the beaten path. That's what makes full time RVing or even part time RVing so interesting and rewarding....

What's on YOUR travel bucket list?  We'd love to hear from you.....
