LOL, I am going to add Vermont to the list. They just opened their first IHOP..unlike any other IHOP in the country, they will only use Vermont Maple Syrup. Now, can you POSSIBLY think of a better reason to go to Vermont?
Big Trips:
Yellowstone (Last week Sept/First week October)
Great Smoky Mountain (3rd week October)
Medium Trips
New Hampshire/Vermont in mid-July
Acadia NP, last week May (first week June), possibly after NH.
Small Trips
Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge (Already gone twice since I mentioned it)
The Meadowlands Wetlands...someone has to find Hoffa!
This will give me three NPs and a NW Refuge under my belt for the year. Ideally, I would like to get Death Valley in, though I am not sure it is in the works.
