I find myself at the start of a short trip this month through the USA essentially checking off a few states. I talk a bit more about this over on my 50at60 website. In short, I am on a quest to visit all 50 states this year, the year of my 60th, by visiting small towns, scenic drives, and National Parks while I peel back some of the layers that tell the stories of what makes this such an amazing country! As I do that, I also hope to tell the stories of others with a focus on creatives, artisans, and entrepreneurs that have interesting stories to tell!

Are you considering a trip to Alaska? A first time visit? I know I am. Been doing a bit of research, itinerary planning, routing, and of course RErouting to be honest with you over on my sister site, 50at60. One of my original maps had me flying into Reno and then driving thru part of Nevada, thru Northern California, into Oregon for a travel conference, then into Washington before making a loop thru Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, before flying out of Salt Lake City, Utah. Yes eight states checked of for the year, but in a 3 week trip, what would I actually absorb in this chaotic and fast paced journey! I actually tired just TYPING this!
