Anyone notice that there is a correlation between recreational pot being made legal and Americans not wanting to work? Follow the timeline, it's enlightening.

Wait, millions and millions smoked weed for years and years before some states made it legal.   I think we can see more of a correlation in the COVID money to not work as opposed the weed legalization connection.

Covid simply made an existing problem even worse.

Come on, people been smoking weed for decades Sani.   Unemployment has been historically low as well.   Maybe the hard drugs are the issue in some of this?  I can see that as fentanyl and heroin are hitting hard.  I don't buy the weed idea at all.

So I canâ€t decide where to go on vacation this fall. Wife and I planned on hitting the northern NP in California, and we decided we just donâ€t want to go to California right now.

We love National Parks. We hate cities. Where should we go?

I haven't been but I bet Acadia is amazing in the fall.

We went to Acadia in September of 2018 and October of 2020…..and it is. Beautiful area with great hiking. Iâ€d love to go back

Carrie Underwood's voice is too big for country music.  She has this voice made to do anthems.  Every time I hear one of her tunes I picture her out on a ledge.  She should do show tunes.  Just not a country music vocalist IMO.

I saw her perform “Sweet Child O†Mine” acoustically at Country Concert years ago-can you say HAWT!!!!!!!????!!!

She definitely has the pipes for that tune.

Which parks have you already hit? 

Great Basin is a good one that doesn't get much fanfare. One of the best star gazing spots on the planet.

Utahâ€s big 5, Grand Canyon NR and SR, Death Valley, Tetons, Yellowstone, Glacier, Acadia, Mammoth Cave, New River Gorge, Smokey Mtns, St Louis Arch(yeah, itâ€s a NP), Cuyahoga Valley, Mt Rushmore….

we are thinking of grabbing Everglades , and going down to the Keys. I lived in West Palm for two years and never went below Ft Lauderdale.

You seem more like a Sanibel/Captiva type than the Keys.

Id be going to the keys to say Iâ€ve been there…..we visit nature……anything else gets in the way. 

to your point, yeah, we arenâ€t people that enjoy the lifestyle of the keys Iâ€m quite sure

You can see a whole lot of nature in the Keys. Like, a ton. Dolphins, turtles, exotic birds and fish, you name it. But if this is what you're looking for, either skip Key West or maybe just go there for just a day. It is ridiculously expensive for overnight stays there anyway.

There is a nice nature preserve on Sanibel plus the ocean and beaches are way better than the Keys.  I think you would enjoy a week there.

Coast of Maine. A couple hoursish north of Portland

[ScarletHayes]

Never been to NE.  Yeah I'll bet that area is beautiful in the fall though.  Just don't know if I can stomach hearing that accent the whole trip though
