I would love to come back to Montana during wheat harvest, wheat fields as far as the you can see! Got to two lane it to Great Falls yesterday and seen some beautiful country, cold, have single digits right now!

People always complain about driving across the Dakota and Montana and Wyoming, but I always liked it. Oklahoma is another I like a lot.
 
When I was young, I always wanted to go on the wheat harvest out west, at 68 I guess I'm too old to try it now!!
 
I love driving through Kansas also, most states that have ground they work is a pleasure to see! I've been through Montana before but only on the interstate, was great to see on a two lane! As for driving goes my favorite so far is 20 across Nebraska and Iowa, but I'm still driving and seeing more! Lol
 
That's why they call it Big Sky Country, that produces big wheat fields! Did you stop at Three Forks Montana to get the best sandwich of your life? One of the local farmers owns it, and the bread comes from their own wheat!
 
The better half is from Rapid City SD. I told her when we win the lottery we would move back, but not in town. We lived near Caribou ME for 2 years, would like to go back there during the summer.
 
I turned at Billings and had to take mostly two lane the rest of the way, I am oversize so have to follow the directions on my permit!

I'd like to spend some time on the NC Outer Banks if I could go back to about 1968.As far as today I can't think of a place I'd rather be than where I'm located right now
all things considered.
 
We went to upstate NY and Maine when the kids were small. 30 years ago. I'd like to go back there sometime, but, there are still places I have not seen that I would like to. Like the Islands off the east coast.
 
I have a suspicion they will be hard up for help on the custom run this summer.

Its sounding like I will get to spend some time chasing the harvest this summer whether I want to or not.
 
Scotland, aye for some hagis and a wee dram of the single malt. Some bagpipe music and watching the lassies dance would be nice too!

Where there are canyons and far fewer people. I would tell you but then you would be there, NOPE. Jim
 
Should have said HI yesterday if you came through Mitchell on I-90. We were home keeping our heads down!

Super 99, I'll bet that if you were to go and stop in someplace where you find a crew, that you would be hired on the spot and dragged out of your truck and pushed right into the cab of something.
 
I'd like to go back there, too, to see everything again.

I spent a total of almost 6 years home-based at MCAS Cherry Point, between Newbern and Morehead City.
 
Id like to and plan to return to Crater Lake Oregon. The attached photo was taken ten years ago on our 40th Anniversary RV road trip to the National Parks of the West, Glacier is still my favorite.

In ?94 I was working in Whitefish. I bought a ?79 GMC which didn?t have an FM radio. In September I drove the high line across to Coal Creek ND to the next job. There were not many vehicles on the road and when you?d meet one it usually greeted you with a wave. While I know those folks are friendly I think they were more lonely.
 
I?d like to go back to a place were people were not worried about, health scares and stock market crashes.
Geographically speaking, west from the west shore of Lake Michigan, to the Pacific Ocean . Yet staying north of Colorado, and south of Moose Jaw Saskatchewan . Low population density is best.
 
1. Paris, FR
2. Waikiki, HI
3. San Francisco the way I remember it in the 60s.
4. San Diego the way it was in the 60s.

Places I do not want to return to under any circumstance.
1. Fort Lost in the Woods, Misery. (AKA Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri)
2. Fort Benning, GA. (AKA Benning School for Boys)
3. A Cracker Barrel Restaurant, Anywhere!
 
I Agree ,. I doubt if Kauai is as wonderful as it was 20 yrs ago . I know most of Texas was wonderful back then , And the Carolinas were also . As for the rest of this world the Great people in all those other areas not mentioned are dying off and being replaced by a social fabric that makes me siken about the thought of what the world is coming to . .

Fort Leonard Wood and Ft Benning were also my state side stations

I like that road, only took it once long ago but have good memories of it. America's heartland.
 
Brown Swiss,

I would like to get to Deadwood SD on motorbike. It was great in fall of 99.LSO, Was it Needles Parkway? I cannot remember.

After you ate at Wheat Montana in Three Forks continue on and go to Red Lodge and go across the Bear tooth Highway. It gets right up in the air. Now I live 30 miles from Great Falls. Another amazing site is to see 5 combines with 35 foot headers combine wheat. They cover some acres in a day. Bud

They had black tar paper wrapped around the barracks at Fort Lost in the Woods in an attempt to hold some heat in in the winter.
Problem was I was there in July and August. Basic Training. Went to Fort Carson, CO afterward and thought I had gone to heaven.
1953.
 
About the prettiest scenery I remember was in the Adirondack mountains. Places like Blue Mountain Lake, Indian Lake, Long Lake, and Hawkinsville.

As for places I would not care to return to (for any extended time) North Carolina tops the list. If you aren't "from around here," they treat you like a red-headed step child.

Probably the friendliest two states I ever visited were Kentucky, Tennessee, and Georgia. And, in that order.
 
When I retired seven years ago I was going to take route 20 west, always lived within about six miles of 20. Wife even bought me a RT. 20 book.

West of the red river and north of I-80. That would include NE,SD,MT,WY,ID,ND. Not necessarily in that order. Brown Swiss If your going north from Billings up to Winett watch out unless they have widened 87 used to be so the bull wagons would knock your flags off as you passed them. The white line was in the dirt with no shoulder. I pulled a combine up there to cut wheat 30 years ago now. there used to be a few combines met their end up that route. Could tell some storie about out here.
