OT favorite Vacation Spot

Lake lida by Pelican Rapids, Mn. Maple beach resort to be exact! Would like to get my Dad back there some day, Maybe next year!!!!
 
Durango Colorado,
Spring skiing at it's best (Purguratory), I have been skiing there for 15 years and cant wait till next year.
Tom
 
We go every year. Last year we went down and started in Gadsden Alabama. It was great down on that end.
 
Tom.........used to joke skiing at Purgatory was H3LL at the bottom of the hill. Used to go snow camping in Boy Scouts in 1950's. Hadda surplus WW2 sleeping bag that was NEVER warm enuff even with WOOL liner bag from Korean War. This was in the days of before "DOWN" sleeping bags. And the SNOTT-SICKLES......one thing I learned, iff'n yer feet were cold, (and they always were) put a WOOL beanie on. Mom was a great believer in MORE SOCKS to keep yer feet warm. I've since learned too many socks cut the BLOOD off and yer feet are gonna be COLD, beanie or not. The LAST time I was in Durango in the winter time, you could catch the NARROW GAUGE train fer a ride 1/2-way up the canyon to Cascade Junction fer SNOW PICNIC. My Dad used to ride the train upto Needleton and gitt off and SURVEY for a DAMN site. The tail water would extend all the way up the Animas River to Silverton Flats. He always rode in the CABOOSE and got "free" coffee off'n the coal stove. I rode with my Dad once and that coffee was SOOOoooo STRONG, it'd take the furr off'n yer tongue. This was in the days of 2-trains a week, now its at least 2-trains a day in the summer time. The LAST time I rode the train, I handed my camera to my 13yo son, and told him to take pictures. When his mother moved out and divorced me, guess where the pictures went? ..........Durango Dell
 
Around southern Michigan you see cars with a "M22" sign on the back. There is a
very good reason for that, from Frankfort north to the Sleeping Bear Dunes and Glen Arbor and the Glen lakes, achingly beautiful, and I have been almost everywhere in Michigan and many other states.
 
We are planning on starting in Addison, Michigan this year, how is it on that end? I figure there ought to be a lot of activity through Ohio but have never made it that far so don't know for sure.
 
Fished Lida a few times. Stayed a week back in the 70's but did most on Crystal just across the road due to wind and then we located the Walleye in the middle of the day and stuck with them most of the week.
 
Hocking Hills in Ohio in the fall,and also Breaks Interstate Park on Ky.&Va.border-deepest canyon east of the Rockies;both for the scenery.Mark
 
Duluth trip was really fun - beautiful country, Lake Superior and a lot of interesting attractions to see (railroad museum, engine 225 just out of town, hiking at Gooseberry Falls State Park, the lift-bridge, maritime museum, William A. Irving ship tour including a tour of a coast guard cutter, Glensheen Mansion of the Congden family, Tom's Log Cabin and trading post, endless antique shops, etc.) Be warned - Lake Superior is cold, even in August.

Lake Vermilion and Cass Lake are really nice for the laid-back fishin'-swimmin' type vacation... haven't been to either one for many years. About ANY lake in northern MN makes for a good vacation.
 
Richard,

Have you ever spent much time in Salem, SC ?? Is it as tough of an area as my brother says it is?

He said that with him being transplanted from the North, people told him to stay away from there.

Tom
 
Actually, I'm there right now. Truro Mass. (Outer Cape Cod)

Here for a week. Use to come to the Cape as a kid every year, brings back so many good memories coming here with my kids, as well as creates a few new ones.

The outer cape is nice because it hasn't been over developed the way most of the Cape has been.

I really enjoy Colorado anytime but the skiing is great. Our three boys (and wives/girlfriend)live in CO and two of them have worked at Copper. Now one is a cook at Fatties in Breckenridge.
 
Spent a lot of time in Salem. Over the years have had many friends there.
It is a very different place though. I kid some of my friends that they better be back north of West Union on Hwy 11 before 6:00 as that is when we close the gate.

That's where we're going to start this year. It actually starts a few miles north of Addison,just south of US12. When we started up there three years ago,(we live north of there so we were going through anyway) there were two yard sales north of town. It seems to be getting bigger every year in Hudson,that's the only other town between Addison and the state line.
Ohio is real good. A lot better than you'd think it would be for no longer than they've been having it up there.
I'm planning to stay Thursday and Friday night both at the Days Inn in Van Wert. We'll try to make it down around Hamilton on Friday,but I'll turn around and head back up to Van Wert for the night.
 
Gunnison Colorado.

We are going to Iceland this winter to try to take in the Northern Lights.

But mainly I like farting around the farm and hunting cabin.

I would agree, spring skiing is a lot of fun at Purgatory, so was Durango, need to go back there, + telluride and wolf creek. So much different than the east coast, but with the snow as of the last few years, its been good here too.
 
My back yard this spring and summer. Less then 100 yards to the Niobrara river. Some of the roughest, and prettiest country in Nebraska. If it gets to hot, you just take the afternoon off and go TUBE the river!!!
People drive thousands of miles to see what I see everyday!!!
 
I love Lake Charlevoix as seen from Boyne City in the evening as the sun is setting.

A ice cream cone from Kilwin's on the corner. Walk across the street to the park. Watch the sunset with the wife and kids. Some of my fondest memories.
 
The best vacation that I have had started with driving to the end of the driveway and asking one of my two daughters which way are we turning? After driving for some time, I would then ask the other daughter. Do you want to keep going this direction or turn? It would go back and forth between the two until one of them said "lets stop here". I live in southern Michigan. Ended up all over the state of Michigan, Indiana and one vacation ended up in Texas. So my answer is, "Its not where I vacation that was important, It's who I was with that was". Where or time of year makes no difference. My daughter are grown up now, and man I wish I could do that type of vacation with them again. They were real fun.
 
Yellowstone/Grand Tetons in late summer after the normal rush. Anywhere in the Ozarks in the fall. I'll take north Arkansas in winter and spring.
 
We have a secluded spot on the back of our property the family uses as a campsite. Fire pit, trampoline, volleyball/badminton net, kickball/softball/baseball field, ATV trails. Sand pit for target practice within 300 yards. 2-3 official family/friends get-togethers a year. Can't think of anywhere else I'd want to be.
 
I was a teamster for 50 years and we ran the lower 48 America is a very nice place all of it for different reasons, But the best place that I ever seen was the Finger Lakes in up State NY especially Owasco Lake. any time of year but the best time is silo filling time in the Fall.
