I’m talking about anything within a day trip of your location. That you’ve never been to.
Why have you never gone? What’s keeping you from going now?

Alcatraz.
I’ve lived in the SF Bay Area my entire life, SF proper for a quarter decade. I’ve just never gotten around to it.
Are you me?
Almost same, I only went because some friends were visiting and they wanted to go. It’s fine.
Funny thing is, I actually had to crew a barge that was provisioning the island. I’ve been tied up alongside, but never set foot on the rock.
Off the top of my head, I live less than a hour from the birthplace of Shakespeare, Darwin, Robert Plant, and Moseley Bog (Tolkien’s inspiration for Middle Earth)
I’ve only met Planty, for obvious reasons. Nice bloke but tight with his money.
The upper peninsula in Michigan. Lived in SE Michigan for 45 years.
Sorry, you mean Canada, right?
Nope. I love our northern (southern) neighbors but the UP is ‘Murica for sure.
Correct. This is but a jab at Fox News. Or maybe we had just sent in some troops from the north, armed with fresh maple Fritters and poutine.
Ahhh ok, I’m an idiot. I get it now! Oh fox.
I’ve always wanted to go up there Island hopping in the summer!
Edit: wow, I was off by a whole state, the below is actually in Minnesota!
I’ve always been a fan of map oddities. Oak Island in Michigan or fort Charles, where the closest land crossing is Canada, they seem so interesting
I spent a whole afternoon using Google maps to go around Jim’s corner
The site of one of the most interesting historical battles I know of—赤壁之战/Battle of Red Cliffs—is about a 1.5 hour drive away from my home. Despite my fascination with history, and with both the history of and the novel of Three Kingdoms-era China, I haven’t ever been despite having lived within that 1.5 hour drive for over 20 years.
I’m not sure why I haven’t gone. Maybe mostly just not having anybody to go with who’s as interested in it as I am.
As a huge Dynasty Warriors and Three Kingdoms fan (I own a copy thats 2400 pages!) I’d go with you… but there’s the whole issue of the Pacific Ocean being in the way.
I lived in NYC for a few years and never went to see the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building, or really any of the iconic touristy things.
Why? No idea. Never seemed interesting to me.
Yeah. Visiting the tourist traps in your city are always something that you defer until somebody comes to visit and you start to think well what are we going to do? I know we’ll take them to the tourist traps
I’m gonna use this as my excuse when people ask why I’ve never been to the popular places in my city. lol
Same. I only went to the Empire State building because it was a school trip.
York - I’m in Manchester and it’s really not far away (about 1hr 40) but I’ve never really thought to make the trip. I think I will now!
I’ve never been to Mersing, small costal town 2 hours from me. It looks nice, it looks like a pleasant drive… I guess I need an excuse to go there, or friends who want to go to the seaside for a day…
Maybe that’s what I’ll do next weekend!
Natural Bridge in Virginia. My wife has been once or twice, but I’ve never gone.
C&O Trail outside of DC. I’ve been on a small part of it. Would love to do more of it.
Natural bridge is super nice I need to see C&O as well
I’ve never been to the local school. A private school quite a bit away? Sure, have attended that, I even have recorded memorabilia from that if that’s looked for. But the public school one can walk to in a few minutes? Never stepped inside there and it actually feels unheard of. Those barbarians.
Keep meaning to go on the tour of the Shanghai Tunnels but then forget about it. Also Mills End Park, could prob do both in one day tbh.
Isle of Man
Is it the kind of place you would like to have visited? But just never had the plan come together?
Yes
Painted desert, petrified forest national park, monument valley.
All places off great natural beauty, less than 200 miles away, and in 40 years of living here I’ve just never made the time. Nothing keeping me from going except my own procrastination.
I’ve never been to a Leafs game despite being so close to Toronto. I’m not really a hockey fan but it feels like I should go once just because I’m Canadian.
Canada. It is within a day’s drive and I’ve even been to Niagara falls as well as a camp in northern Maine that was on a lake sharing a border. Never been across that border though.
Banff
