Before I did a 15,000km- 8 week tour of western NA, I went through some old list messages I'd saved in a special folder on members trips, favorite roads, and roadside tips...Using my experiences and others recommendations I made up a general trip route including the best topography and views I could cover in one wide roundtrip, staying more to the high ground & coastal areas where the temps were comfortable in July-Aug. and away from the cities (which I see when traveling on work, and seem a lot alike to me now, you've seen one termite hill/wallyworld you've seen them all). Usually I don't tell people exactly where I stay, Because I stay mostly off road and out of sight.... Almost always were I do stay, I have to More and More ...clean up the area first..... I really don't like the fact that I have to share this planet with a growing number of careless slobs... but I do my part, I clean up and only leave foot prints. And because other list members have been good enough to share, I should too..... I generally buy a seasons pass to the national forest and parks... I found the Nat'l forest in most places had the kind of remote atmosphere I like best (like where I live)... less SUV's full of fat rubber necking obnoxious loud slobs with stinky smoke choking camp fires. Of course not everyone is like that and this is just one man's outlook... thank goodness you are still (for the moment) allowed your own opinions also.

10 of my favorite places to visit in NA

Yosemite Nat'l Pk (Olmstead & Glacier point) Calif. Hwy 101 from Santa Barbara to Point Lobos SR Redwood Nat'l Pk N. Calif. Yellowstone Nat'l Pk Port Townsend WA. and the surrounding Islands Cascade and Rockies mtns. north & south Vancouver Is., Tofino, & The sunshine coast Saskatchewan Cape Breton Highlands Nat'l Pk N.S and the friendly wild and wonderful Newfoundland

All enjoyed at one time (and hopefully again) by Cynosure my 87 SyncroWesty

Hint: Cynosure love rides on little ferrys....
