That's impressive @ChemEngrMBA
I saw America through Wal~Mart warehouses @ 50, at the time, a scattered chasm of small town America.
I was blessed.

@mystery-ak
Who cares? Stupid thread. I cannot possibly remember all the places I have been. If I could I would not bother to write them here. And anyone can say anything anyway. Who will be the first to write has been to 'Mare Tranquillitatis'. The whole thing is silly.

I did it on the original thread..just don't want to do it again...lol 333cleo

I attempted to quickly go through your list and weed out those places I have not been to while adding others I had been to but apparently failed.
Perhaps I'll try another approach later. @ChemEngrMBA
We've done this before here but I'm not inclined to dig back through 46,804 posts to find it.

But have any of you been to the Mystic?

This list is biased against anyone who might have spent several years drinking.
After all,how can you know where you have been,when you don't even know where,or even who,you are?
Not ME,of course,but other people.

I’ve been around the block. Does that count?

I have been a few places over the years. Thankfully we didn't have cell phone trackers back then

One of those threads where you know you are not gonna win any awards...
I live 4 blocks from where I was born.

Well, "Lord of All Things," since you think this is so "stupid," why don't you start a Brilliant Thread from Lord of All Things and "wow" the world. We will hold our breaths.
Secondly, nowhere did I say this was a comprehensive list of everywhere I have been. Your reading comprehension leaves a great deal to be desired, as does your kindness and tolerance level.
I suspect you are merely jealous of my extensive travels and cannot afford to do much yourself.
Now proceed with your Post of all Posts. It will be awesome as you always are, Sour Grapes.

Once I got here, Here is where I been. Within a couple hundred miles of this spot right here. Traveled some for the rodeo. A little more Cowboyin'... A couple vacays and business trips. But all in all, I have no need to roam... At least no need other than roaming right here... All my braggin about where I been is mostly within a hundred miles. And I will brag on that.

@Hoodat
A message we all need to hear occasionally.
Including me.
It's just too easy to take random things written on the web personally. We all do it occasionally.
-
Haven't been to a lot of places, but I've never put much stock in being touristy. Not that I don't like to travel, but where I've lived and what I did there is alot more important to me.
People will say something like 'I've been to Paris'. Yeah, on a 4 hour layover and never left the airport. I like to ground and immerse myself in the situation and spend some time there doing the local stuff, not just hitting the traps. Way more fulfilling.

Who was he addressing when he said "Stupid thread"?
Such an ignorant personal attack is unwarranted and should be a violation of the TOS if it is not already.
-

Don't you mean to say, 'What' was he addressing?

I say the same of Detroit. :laugh:
But I have traveled extensively in France - too many places to list.

DC for me. Never left the Airport. (once at RR and once at dulles in Virginia.)

The thread did not post itself. Stop trying to defend indefensible acts.
Attacking an idea embodied in a post is an attack on the person, i.e. "stupid."

Cosmically, I have been to the Heights of Heaven and to the Depths of Hell and more importantly, I took the scenic route. It has made me a better person, overall, but I also could be wrong.

You've gotten a lot of good replies on this thread, and some detractors. It's Par for the TBR course.
Never take things personally is my adage, which I sometimes honor in the breach!

How about a thread on all the places to go on your bucket list?
-
Go Fish!
I never had a bucket list, but can't think of many places I would want to go but have not toured.
-
To hell and back again...among other places.

Hither and yon.

How about a thread on all the places to go on your bucket list?
My goal at one time my was to go to Bali @Gefn . But since I won't fly any more, I don't see myself paddling there. happy77
There are so many places in the US that I would love to see.
-
I briefly considered having a bucket list, but then decided it wasn't worth the effort. At this point, I've been where I need to have been. If I get to visit a few more places, that'll be nice. If I get to the few places I'd like to visit this year, I'll be happy. There's nothing like skydiving, whitewater rafting or swimming with dolphins on the list, so I'm good.

At this point I can think of no place on this planet that I would be willing to get on a plane to visit so I will only be traveling to places I can drive to.

And as Edith Ann said...And that's the truth! :laugh:

I may never again board an airplane, much as I love visiting where my ancestors came from, e.g., England, Germany, Wales. I'm somewhat resigned to that. The federal government has made travel a very unpleasant experience.
As long as we still can purchase gasoline (!!!), we'll travel within driving distance.
-
IF I never get 100 miles from right here, I'd be fine with that.
But if I ever get my legs back, I would admire one more walk up the White River Trail to the Chinese Wall, up and over the hump and down into Wind River country and back again.
Not that I didn't appreciate it when I was up there last - But I would appreciate it 100 times more now, I guarantee.
Speaking of Wind River, How I would love to be bustin mavericks down out of the pines one last time... Hell, I'd even ride drag. I'd even ride the chuck wagon.
But that's all long gone I fear. And I don't sit a quad like I would an appy no how.
Always meant to ride the highline, Colorado to Alberta - That's one on the bucket list that won't happen no more.
-
I too smell the Locomotive Breath upon my neck, more often than not, these last few days.

North to Toronto
Northeast to Oswego
East to Binghamton
Southeast to Smethport, PA
Southwest to Wilmore, KY and several stops in Ohio in-between.
I have never been one for much travel. It's difficult for me to sleep in a place that isn't my bed so it's not something I do for leisure, and I've never had a particular need to do it for work since nobody really hired me.

I too prefer my own bed (and bathroom).
Funny thing... I cannot sleep in a motel/hotel or guest room for days. I may as well not try.
But I can throw a camp and hang a tarp just about anywhere and sleep like a baby.
Go figger. :shrug:
