Did you post your favorites?
We were absolutely inundated with replies to last week’s blog about your favorite places and where you want to go RVing.
SO FAR (that’s a hint at what this article is all about) … SO FAR, Yellowstone National Park is the leading spot of responders’ favorite places. The Canadian Maritime Provinces leads the pack in areas people want to visit (EDITOR’S NOTE: It’s on our itinerary for 2013).
Some of you may not have told us your Top 5 or what’s on your Wish List of spots you want to visit. Please remember, this is not like sitting on Santa’s lap and telling him what you want to find under the tree next Sunday.
What this has evolved into is an excellent quick list of where to point your rig in the years ahead. It’s a good basis for planning. For instance, lots of folks
"Hay Stacks" Along the Oregon Coast
listed the Oregon Coast as a favorite. That is a good beginning point for researching if it’s a destination you might want to set on your GPS (EDITOR’S NOTE: It’s among our favorites).
Another benefit for well-traveled RVers: as I promulgated your responses and read many of them to Monique, it brought back fond memories. What a magnificent week we spent at Voyageurs National Park in Minnesota, a place we rarely think about. Just reading the name was like returning to a beautiful, interesting spot.

PLEASE, if you didn’t bother to respond to last week’s column, we’re giving you another chance. You’ll be part of one of the most interesting non-scientific research projects in RV history. Plus, we’re still open to new places that you found worthy of putting on your favorites list.
The rules – which you may want to modify: List up to five favorite places you’ve been in your RV journeys, and then include up to five places you want to go. Please be brief, and include the state — there were two places we’ve never heard of, which meant further research.
The thousands of wonderful, interesting people who read these blogs will be forever grateful.
From the “Never-Bored RVers,” We’ll see you on down the road.
