Re: OT: 30 Landscapes You Won't Believe Are in the U.S.

[John]

International travels?

Mexico - twice, once on one of those family trips to California we went to 
Tijuana for the day with my aunt's family & when I was married we took a 
packaged tour to Acapulco & Mexico city. Didn't see a whole lot because my wife 
spent most of the time being sick, but we did barely make it out to Teotihuacan.


Canada - I'm pretty sure I've been to Canada ... on a train from New York City 
to Detroit when I was a baby. Dad got called back into the Army when he was a 
grad student at Columbia & mom took me and my sister to see her family before 
coming back to North Carolina.


And I think we might have stopped to refuel in Labrador on the way to Kuwait.

Germany, Kuwait, and Iraq - Stopped in Germany to refuel again before going on 
to Kuwait. I saw a little bit of Kuwait city going back & forth between bases 
while I was assigned to the logistics team getting the brigade on the road 
north. And of course traveling between FOBs in Iraq.


Germany, England, Scotland - Landed back in Germany to change planes for my R 
trip up to Scotland. Landed in England to clear customs between the EU & UK and 
then on up to Glasgow. In Scotland I got to wander around on my own for 15 days, 
saw Glasgow, Ft William (where I was a month too late in the year to see the 
Harry Potter Train), Malaig, Loch Ness, Inverness & Edinburg.


Hong Kong & China - Ten days semi-chaperoning a college trip. Hong Kong, Guilin, 
Nanjing, Beijing & the Great Wall.


There are a lot of places I want to go & see with my own eyes, but I know I'm 
never going to get there.

Nice to read, John... thought you might have been to a couple more.

Here's the thing about travels.. while I have been to 49 states and all 
the Canadian Provinces, the only other foreign countries I've been to 
are Mexico
(deducing that wading across the Rio Grande in a remote area of Big 
Bend) and France.. while I imagine most of the rest of you on the list

I cant resist giving you guys my numbers now.. with relatively brief 
explaination of how I managed it.
Printed out the list of 62 NP's and checked off 45 for sure and a 
couple of more with question marks
because I was likely there as a child before they were designated as 
National Parks. all 45 are those that
can be reached by car and are either in the contiguous 48 or in 
Alaska. Been in every state but HAwaii.


My father was old enough to be my grandfather when I wsa born.. he 
was, unfortuantely, something of a boozer
and had some problems with heart - in  January 1945 he was "retired" 
from a sales management job
when he though he was going to be promoted and given only a few 
months severance.. something I didn't know
until recently (that is, the reasons).  A lot of what contributed to 
my having seen 44 of the 48 states before I was
12 was our trips were , post war, partly business trips as Pop's old 
cronies from the salad days gave him sales jobs
and he took my mother and me with him.  Traveling before 1945 was for 
pleasure and visiting family, but parents
were always interested in the parks. Mammoth Cave was a strong memory 
from childhood.


I lived in Maine in the 60's - so there was Acacia..  took geology in 
college which got me to Yellowstone on a field trip.


Then I met Richard in 1980 , who had travelled widely in Europe and 
Asia but didn't know the USA - so road trips began..
and most of the parks on the list were visited with him, sometimes 
for the second time, many for the first.
I kept taking them on my own after I lost him in 1993..  Because 
Richard hit senior landmark when we were
together I got my Golden Age Passport card and I still have it, 
hoping to be able to use it again one day.  I think

it is supposed to be good for the National Monuments as well.

Hmm.  I'm pretty sure I've been to more than that.  Let's see:

Acadia, Bryce Canyon, Death Valley, Grand Canyon, King's Canyon, 
Sequoia, Yosemite, Zion.
(It certainly helps living in California; all but one of those we've 
visited by driving
from home since we moved here 25 years ago.  Acadia we visited when 
we lived back east,

and took our local Girl Scout troop camping in Acadia one year).

I've been to Yosemite more than once.  Larry and I took a quick trip 
out there when I had
just purchased my K5.  One of these years I'll get out there during 
the spring snowmelt.


My bucket list includes Joshua Tree and the parks in Oregon and 
Washington (state).
I suppose I should visit my closest one, too - Pinnacles - it's 
visible from around here.

WOW!
45?  I'm certainly impressed.
Lee and I are big fans of the national park system, and have visited all
the usual suspects, plus the two in Hawaii and Katmai in Alaska, which is
very difficult to get into but most rewarding.

Clickbait?

Here's a thought ... Search Flickr for "National Parks, U.S., Pentax"

https://www.flickr.com/search/?text=National%20Parks%2C%20U.S.%2C%20Pentax

I bet you can do the same for whatever country you're located in. See what the 
photographers in your location are posting.

I've been to 5 of them as an adult; 7 if you count Yosemite that my parents took 
the kids to see back during one of the two California trips that included me.


We had an hour at the Yosemite visitor center before "back in the car kids we 
got to go".


From there my dad took the road that goes around the north side of the park, 
stopping at one of the roadside picnic areas for a late lunch.


Which put us going through Death Valley in the middle of the night on the way to 
Las Vegas where we had breakfast at Howard Johnson's before heading on to drive 
across Hoover Dam.

Congratulations, Ann.  I have only been to half of these places.
The site is by Conde Nast, and all the images from Getty.

I missed what is being characterized as a joke;  where was it?

I just thought this was a good way of remembering nice places we have been

Does he own Conde Nast as well? That's where I thought those photos came from.

Unfortunately, less than a third here and I'm not sure if I'm ever going to get

I want to, but my travel plans are on hold.

They still have some pretty photography.  Have you been to one of their

I agree, but since all my spring and summer travel plans got canceled by
COVID-19, I like to look at pictures of places I remember and places I

A strange article really because it seems to me that most of the US places are 
better known than the places they’re compared to. Anyone who is aware of the 
foreign places is probably also aware of the US places, so they certainly will 
believe they are in the US.
