Excellent.    I will have a story to tell when I can find the documents.   It's like your bucket list but it's also like, "things happen".

17, not too bad for a young whipper snapper like myself...

But still lotta room for improvement!

There were a few I MIGHT have visited as a youngster but not 100% so left them off the list:

Big Bend
Carlsbad Caverns
Death Valley
Everglades
Gateway Arch
Grand Canyon
Great Sand Dunes
Great Smoky Mountains
Guadalupe Mountains
Haleakalā
Hot Springs
Mesa Verde
Petrified Forest
Rocky Mountain
Saguaro
White Sands
Yellowstone

One of my Retirement Dreams™ is ride or RV to all of 'em* and fill the passport book up...

*Obviously recognizing some of 'em can't be gotten to by wheeled transport.

Some interesting lists.   

My bucket list continues to grow and while some items on that list have been crossed off as accomplished, the list is not just locations I want to ride to/in or visit.   It's more about the "experiences" for me that happen in many different locations.

I lead a flight of helicopters through some of the Grand Canyon back when that was legal.   Have never ridden there.   I have 98 free fall parachute jumps, couldn't get a bike up there in the aircraft.   Have ridden the Tail of the Dragon a few times until I finally convinced myself it was too dangerous with all the oncoming traffic that couldn't stay in their lane.   Have visited all of the 48 CONUS states in one vehicle or another, some on Valkyries, some in my trucks transporting.   Lots of places I still want to see and ride to.  As I said, that buck list continues to grow.   I really want to ride New Zealand.................  We'll see if that  happens.  Wink

You might want to wait a while on that one anyway.... in January they had 2 Cyclones (Hurricanes) and an earthquake that wiped out lots of the road system. It's expected to take about a year to fully repair all the major roads, even longer for all the small roads. Some small towns are still only accessible by 4x4, boat or helicopter.
