I mentioned before how much we love going on trips.
For example, our last "extensive" trip was about 1.5 yrs ago - we rented a car in New York, went down thru Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama - all via back roads, Louisiana - New Orleans, down to Golf coast of Florida, then East to Florida Keys, then up to No.Carolina Outer Banks & back home.
The West Coast trip before - we flew to Las Vegas (it's cheaper), took Extra-Terrestrial Hwy, saw a flying saucer, zig-zaged North thru California to Oregon - up to Crater Lake - elevation 8000 ft!!!, then along the coast to Washington wine country, Seattle, Mount. Rainier, Mt St.Helen. It's awesome going up the moutain - the temps are in the 90's down at the sea level, then u go up & you are surrounded by snow & it's in the 30's, then you come down and it's summer again. Then we went South to Idaho, Utah - Bryce Canyon & other Nat'l Parks in the area, down to Arizona - Grand Canyon, &, finally, back to Las Vegas - great trip!
We love the back, little traveled roads, off the beaten path, away from "tourist traps" & standardized views. We camped in, or at least drove thru, all US states, except Alaska & Hawaii, but we'll get there soon too.
