In no particular order…

Burke Lakefront Airport, Cleveland. CART race.
Schenley Park, Pittsburg. Vintage race.
Virginia International Raceway, Virginia. Vintage race.
Nazareth Speedway, Pennsylvania. CART (last) race.
Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Indianpolis. U.S. F1 race.
Rockingham, North Carolina. NASCAR race.
Richmond International Raceway, Virginia. NASCAR races.
Bristol Motor Speedway, Tennessee.

Is there a trend here?

You'll have to add Austin and New Jersey to that list.

I loved Grand Canyon and Yosemite.
I was a kid when I discovered Vegas with my father, and Lake Tahoe.
I love Big Sur and the SF Bay ( and especially Sausalito );
New Orleans, Miami, Seattle, LA, Newport Beach and San Diego, NY, Boston, Seattle, Philadelphia, Chicago, Phenix, Dallas ( not my favorite place though....), Atlantic City, Miami, Orlando, Tampa, Naples, Sannibel, Marco Island, St Augustine, Newport, Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard and the Maine coast.
So many places discovered with my father that I cannot count them.
I love the US.
And I love even more the americans.

Fenway Park Boston Mass(yes I'm a diehard Red Sox fan).

Key West Fla the most beautiful sunset I've ever seen in my life.

Cocoa Beach Fla several times. My most favorite visit was to see a night shuttle launch from Cape Canaveral. I would be remiss if I didn't mention Ron Jon surf shop.

Epcot center Orlando.

Gainesville Fla.

Can you tell that I love Florida

Cleveland Ohio. Rock and roll hall of fame.

And finally:
Even though I've lived here all my life, I have to mention Niagara Falls NY. I'm still amazed by the sheer power of the falls.

Forgot to mention this one:
Cooperstown NY. Baseball hall of fame.

Chaco Canyon, NM and Little Big Horn battle-site, MT are two. Amazing places. You can feel the ghosts.
Almost anywhere in the Hawaiian Islands. Especially the big island and the volcanos.
My brother and I take an ~2-week road trip out west most every year. Too many great places to name.

Yeah, Toobs! +1

Those who visit Oregon, let me know and if the weather is good and the plane is not down for repairs, we'll go for a ride and look at some of the amazing mountains close up.

And, if you're in Oregon, don't forget Crater Lake.

Attachment 16490

I love:

Maine Coast (almost any of the old fishing villages)
Cape Cod or Martha's Vineyard or Nantucket,
Glacier National Park,
Sawtooth Mountains, ID

the list is almost endless....

So many nice places...from Cape Cod to the Carolinas to New Mexico...Arizona...California (wine country, Sand Diego, San Fran, Monterrey, ...) to Wash State...Hawaii...USVI...

Sometimes we don't really appreciate what we have.

Pider.......I have been to Crater Lake National Park twice, once in the summer and once in the winter. Truly astonishing. Wizard Island rises out of the lake, and pictures don't do it justice.
