Show me state of suggestions.

Hey y’all,

Dan asks for submissions on his websites for places him to visit but I don’t see why we can’t suggest local places to check out for other people to visit on their own. There is so much out there that is interesting to see!

Some places I’d suggest to others are:

In Minnesota, Gooseberry Falls.

In Missouri, Branson (the place is absurd and has a weird Christian vibe, in my opinion. However the land in that area is beautiful and go-karts are so damn fun)

In Texas, visit Big Bend National Park but in your way to or from the park swing by the ghost town of Terlingua.

In Oklahoma visit the “Welcome to Texas” sign on I 35 S. I am sure there is plenty to see in Oklahoma but bad things happen to me in that state, I’m not lying when I say I’ve gotten multiple flat tires while driving through.

In Utah, there is a ton to see but I have wonderful time driving out to the Bonneville Salt Flats.

In Nevada, obviously Las Vegas is the big draw to the state but I’d suggest seeing Reno, the whole town has an interesting vibe. Go checkout the Hoover Dam (this is a joint entry with Arizona) and walk over the top of the damn and cross between states and times zones while looming out onto Lake Mead.

In California, stop by Yuba City and see all of the chickens roaming town. Hop on the Capital Corridor train and ride from Sacramento to San Jose. Go see the California Aqueduct if you’re into engineering projects. Visit an old gold mining town and pan for gold.

There are so many more things to do out there. Just wanted to share some that popped to mind.

In Iowa,
