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.

        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.

      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

      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

      Same. I only went to the Empire State building because it was a school trip.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    México

    I was once, years ago, 90ft from the boarder doing a site visit to a Freezer Warehouse.

    My entire family & extended family have been, and my sister even got married there.

    Never interested in going and now it’s on an entirely different continent.
