Thanks for stopping by @vissaius and letting me know you enjoyed this post. I appreciate that.
We all have our preferences, but for me, what you see on this trip surpasses anything I have ever seen in the East - coast or otherwise (I have been in every state in the country, except 4 - 3 of them being Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine). Not to say there are not some great places to visit on that side of our country, but my preference is the West.
Hopefully someday you'll have the opportunity to make your way out here and judge for yourself!
