Ooh speaking of awesome parts of lovely states, the only time I ever went to Arkansas was to Eureka Springs, which is an offbeat sort of town in a beautiful part of the Ozarks. Went to a multi-day outdoor rave/burn type of thing, had a blast with a bunch of crazy hippies every night, slept and went swimming every day. From what I gather Arkansas is not cool in general but the Arkansas I went to was pretty fun. I hear similar things about Asheville, NC.

Heaf posted:All Hail West Texas There is a hell of a lot of Hail. Kibner posted:The interstate to get to New Mexico and Carlsbad Caverns. All I remember seeing is the sky, cracked dirt, and maybe a cactus or bush every couple miles. This was more than 10 years ago, though. 285 that goes up to Carlsbad? That's a pretty desolate highway. Doesn't help that Carlsbad and Eastern New Mexico are pretty crappy places too. You can draw a line from Amarillo to Lubbock to Big Spring to San Angelo to Junction. West of that and east/north of the mountains is horribly ugly. Minus Monahans. Monahans was kinda cool. At least on the Texas side, you can go 80+mph without fear of being ticketed.

Here's a place that I particularly hate because some 20-something failure of a woman ran a stop sign and screwed up my car on my big road trip last year: Dalhart, Tx Here's the Kermit, TX football stadium. I was supremely disappointed when I found that their team was not "the frogs". And to make it college related, here's the Texas Tech's Jones AT&T stadium as it was a few winters ago. They hadn't finished the video board the last time the car drove by. It actually looks a bit like a stadium from this side.

kayakyakr posted:There is a hell of a lot of Hail. Yeah, that's probably it. Growing up, my immediate and extended family took road trips on our family vacations and the most popular destination was Las Vegas. We would plan the trip to hit a bunch of different tourist things on the way (Carlsbad Caverns, Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam, Painted Desert, Petrified Forest, etc.) but I just remember being bored as all hell on that stretch of drive through Texas and I guess part of New Mexico. Just absolutely flat land with little to no vegetation or sign of civilization for like four hours.

Most of Wyoming is more desolate than West Texas, at least from my experience driving through them both. Wyoming is better, but both are just full of fracking and drilling stations and horses.

The main thing I remember about Wyoming is they have big herds of these guys who I have been assured for some reason way more than is necessary are not antelopes: Well that and sitting around in the car on a normal looking road wondering if the herd of cattle hanging out in the middle of it were ever going to move on. Open range is weird if you aren't used to it.

When I was with the Baylor band on our way back from the Fiesta Bowl, we spent a day at the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum. It was actually really pretty once you get over how loving hot it is. I thought the geography was really interesting, and the museum (really more of a zoo/controlled nature hike) had some really good views of some of the local wildlife. Got a pretty closeup view of some coyotes, visited a mockingbird house, etc.
