I would say about mid way between Denver and Colorado Springs. Spent 10 months there, and loved every minute of it. Everything one could want to do except surf the ocean can be done in Colorado.

 

I live in the middle of the Greatest State in the USA!! North Carolina!! I can drive 4hrs West and be in the Beautiful Blue Ridge Mountians, or I can drive 4hrs East and be at one of the best fishing destinations the North Carolina Outer BANKS!!!!!!!!!!! I'm going this weekend as a matter of fact!! I can walk out my front door and b in a Deer Stand within 30 min. I can hook the boat up and be at 1 of 4 Great Lakes on the Yadkin River in 30 minutes. High Rock Lake is my favorite then Badin Lake. High Rock has held the Bass Master Classic 3 times and many other very BIG Bass Tournaments over the past 20 years!!!!!!! I Love the Place that I call home, NC!

Now, with all that being said. I have traveled all over the USA with my father in the ol Big Rigs that he drove all his life. I would love to be able to go out West and spend a couple of weeks to take in all of the scenery and wildlife!! So if there is anyone that would like to take me fishing and hunting sometime just let me know!!!!! I'll make plans!

 

I would have to say between Silverton and Ouray.

 

That's a tough question guys. I grew up around the Great Lakes in Western New York....and no I have never been to NYC, don't care to ever go and No western NY is not all city...get that a lot down here. There is some beautiful country up there, been up in the mountains above Syracuse once and liked it a lot. When I joined the Marines we were in Cali before we shipped out to Japan and we stopped in Anchorage.....WoW!! Just the view from the airport was amazing, will never forget it and can't convince my wife to move there, to cold she says I guess my favorite place that I have stayed in, that I felt the most relaxed and drawn in by the beauty was Gohara, Japan. That's where my wife is from and where her parents still live.

We stayed there for a couple days years ago, before the builders came in and ruined everything with tons and tons of houses. It was winter time, they did not have central heat/air. Just a woodburning stove in the kitchen/ living room. The table served two purposes, (1) where you ate dinner, breakfast etc, and it was also where you stayed warm. The table had a heavy top which would come off, they placed a heavy blanket over the lower part of the table and then the heavy top on the blanket. The floor had a removable piece directly under the table so they could take that out in the winter time. You would sit down with your feet hanging into the hole in the floor and they had a small heater under there. You could literally see you breath in the house but that was the only way you knew it was cold. We would sit there and eat, eat and eat, and of course drink...nothin like sake at the right temperature I have slept there many times....her dad too, we would just lay down with our feet under the table. The garden behind her dads house is amazing as well. Classic Japanese garden and you could see a giant mountain rising up behind there house....always wanted to climb it.

Don't get me wrong I love everything about the USA, maybe not some of the politicians!! But that place....there was just something about Japan. When we can afford to go back that is the only place I have ever truely been able to relax while on vacation. Maybe it was just how simple life was. Sure her dad had a job, but just how they lived.....starting to sound like "The Last Samurai" movie now huh?? I know, favorite place in the USA...my house looking over the valley below....in the world...her parents place before the subdivisions....

 

I'd have to say just south of Greenville, KY...I've only been there twice, but it was beautiful and relaxing both times I went...

 

Where in Kentucky is Greenville??

 

I simply must make it back to St. Thomas...

 

well i would have to say the country. just because i love beign able to go out back and not having to worry about the nieghbors next door and where else can i do the two things i love to do..Ride my horses and go wheeling with my CTD. but this coutnry has to be in the USA or it isnt worth it to me.

 

2nd that Bearkiller!!!!!

 

The drive south from Anchorage to Haynes Junction Alaska in June. Very peaceful, I'd love to do it again.

 

There's this little fishing village midway up the coast of Maine where everyone knows each other, and nobody locks their doors at night...........

 

same for me. that is the most impressive drive i have every been on.

 

Amelia Island in April

 

Route 12 on the NC coast..... the Avon and Buxton areas are nice, Hatteras on the beach during the off season....

 

Rode the bike thru there last June, breath taking. The whole ride from Montrose to durango was great.
