We have had a LOT of bad news recently, so how about some positive thoughts?
It’s May already, so many of us are starting to think about a Summer vacation. Since readers here are critical thinkers, how about not just doing the usual this year, but rather think outside the box?
We are blessed in the US with a huge amount of fine vacation options. They run the gamut from busy metro choices (like NYC), to peaceful and quiet natural settings.
I’m inclined towards the latter, so if that is something you might like, stay with me.
The question is: where is the best (and most under-reported) US area for family vacations?
I’m not going to tell you what I think the answer is until later, but rather I’ll give you some clues. You are on the honor system to NOT look these up.
This optimum US vacation area:
1 - Is where the American word “vacation” originated, due to people going there.
2 - Is (by far) the largest park in the continental US.
3 - Has over 3,000 clean lakes, plus over 30,000 miles of rivers and streams, plus wonderful accessible mountains (40+ over 4000 feet).
4 - Is where one of the most important battles in WORLD history was fought.
5 - Is where the first hotel in the world had electricity throughout.
6 - Is where the most important sporting event in US history took place.
7 - Has hosted the Olympics twice.
8 - Is where roadside billboards are prohibited throughout.
9 - Has superior boating, jet-skiing, sailing, kayaking, white water rafting, fishing, swimming, golf, biking, hiking, camping, hunting, mountain climbing, etc., etc.
10-Is affordable, naturally pretty, peaceful, quiet, safe, etc…
These are WAY too many clues: so what’s the answer?
BTW, I am not offering comments for this post, as it would give readers too many additional hints. Instead, simply submit your answer in this Online Survey. It’s VERY simple and quick — 15 seconds max… Do it now!
I’ll post the reader results and my answer in a few days…
