EnglishBeef -- what are you looking to get out of your visit? (i.e. Does nature appeal to you more than urban areas? Or, are you looking to go clubbing? etc.) What do you want to experience?

Sedona Arizona. Do some google research its an amazing place for rock climbing and a ton of new age spiritualistic stuff. Lots of talk about dimensional rifts and stuff. The main deal is the rock formations and the huge magnetic fields that are in the area.

I climded to the top of Cathedral Rock and sat down. Could feel the force pushing me downward to the ground. It's amazing.


If you go to West Virginia you have got to go on a white water ride down the New River or Gauley River. The New & Gauley are no. 1 white water rafting rides in the Eastern US.

The best time to go to the the New River is on Bridge day in October when the allow base jumping and repelling off the bridge.

You might even see the dancing outlaw, jesco white. LMAO!!!

I'll second the Sedona, Arizona motion..

this place is beautiful..

I'm looking to see America if you know what I mean. Yes nature appeals Like New England that somebody mentioned (cheeky shit about the teeth tho wtf)

Have you heard of the melungoens that live in a place called Sneedville up in the mountains. I'd like to see that.

I'd like to see the big sky county (sounds great what is it)

places like Wyoming, Idaho, i've heard if you stand on a telephone book in Idaho you have a view.

There is so much empty space in America, it's the empty space i'd like to see.

Montana thats it, the big sky country. Difficult to get a brochure on it here tho.

Rafting on the colorado river sounds cool, does that come thro the Grand Canyon...I would hear all the tourists (mostly japenese) clicking their cameras

EB -- here's a link with all of the state convention and visitors bureaus -- that way you won't have to try to find individual brochures.

If you want to see America and have 3 weeks, personally, I'd pick out a few hot spots from coast to coast, rent a car at one coast and drive across the nation. You want to see space? Drive the open road across plains, desert, next to the ocean, through mountains. Camp, stay in Vegas for a night, etc...

Montana has my vote so far.

See they don't show that on the BBC no we have Mickey fucking Mouse.

you do realize the grand canyon is *HUGE*, right? the south end of the park is where around 80% of people go, the north end accounts for the other 20%.

if you dont want to be surrounded by people, you dont have to be.

the beaches of north carolina are pretty sweet. we always go to sunset beach, which is small island off the coast of NC. it's usually pretty empty for a beach, but if you want to be by more people myrtle beach is only 30-45 minutes away.

oh yeah, when the tide goes down, you can swim to another island (bird island), which to my knowledge is pretty much uninhabited.
