I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I lived 60 years in WA and being a dairy farmer, never got out of WA till I retired and bought a 5er. We wound up buying our Snowbird in Dodge City KS, and consequently spent a lot of time there and love it. It has different beauty in the spring as it does in the summer or fall. We have also been through there in the winter on our way to FL, still has it's own beauty then too.

Back in the midwest in the winter at 0 temp I would set in the first seat of the school bus behind the driver, but in high school they got a bus like yours and I would get in the back seat because then they had two heaters in them,it was so warm on those cold morning.


You never rode on a bus like I have. I have a 71-passenger bus, a full-size 40' body. The ones you rode on were slightly more than half that length. But even the short buses have rear heat.

I've been to every state except the Dakotas and Alaska. Every one of them has something interesting.

My DW and I are on a mission to see as many of the National Parks as possible before we can no longer travel. Most states have at least one, and we have yet to ever visit one we didn't think was amazing in it's own way.
So far this summer: Arches NP, Canyonlands NP, Capitol Reef NP.

This Sept: Glacier Bay NP, Denali NP.

In answer to the Post: Any place is a great place to own an RV.

Why? Because they have wheels and can go anywhere. (Well, almost)

In reading this thread . . no, they don't. I wonder how many of us really, truly have explored our own backyards - - I've been around the world and have yet to see sights close to home. There are so many things to do and see everywhere in this wonderful country that we don't do or see - especially around our own hometowns. I challenge those who are not happy about where they live to take a closer look around you and consciously seek out the beauty and wonder. If you still find you are not happy, then move somewhere where you CAN be happy. Life is too short to waste that energy being unhappy and complaining about circumstances. Try living in another country for awhile or spend some time fighting for the freedoms that this country has. You'd see a much brighter picture and would be saying, "Man, I LOVE this wonderful country, no matter where I'm planted!"
