Traveling the Oregon Coast
Come closer. I need to share something. The Oregon Coast may be this country's best-kept secret for a summer trip. I know, Oregon is so renowned for rain its best football team is the “Ducks.” It is nearly rain free during the summer months. June-September is a magical time to see a magical place. In fact, the real rainfall doesn't even begin until after Halloween.
Kim HastingsPublished 7 years ago in WanderRight on Red State: Florida Weather
Florida is hot. It's an undeniable fact, yet tourists feel the need to point it out. Floridians, and people who live in Florida, but don't want to be labelled as Floridians, are well aware that it is hot outside. Don't feel the need to remind them for the sake of small talk. They all know the statewide high temperatures are caused by Florida's proximity to the equator, and the low elevation making Florida very close to Hell.

As of the writing of this article, there are twelve major interstate highways in Florida. We can assure you that we will not be updating this article if any more are built, so don’t try to correct us. Of the twelve, nine interstate highways never leave the state of Florida, which makes one question the meaning of the word interstate. They are Interstates 4, 10, 75, 95, 110, 175, 275, 375, 195, 295, 395, 595. The last eight are just roads the connect the first four, which explains why they don't connect to other states. This leaves one highway, I-4. It technically shouldn't even be part of the Interstate System as it doesn't run through multiple states. This is the first strike against “Interstate” 4.

Of all the states in the US, Alaska is the largest, and yet also among least populated. This is a shame, since the state possesses such natural beauty. At the northern reaches of the planet, in a land divided by ice and snow, there remain such sights that you can only dream of.

Once upon a time, Americans were widely accepted and wanted everywhere they went. The idea of talking about the worst places to travel basically relied on showing which had the least pleasurable accommodations or the fewest English speaking people in the world. Back then, the world was a more peaceful place, filled with exotic sights and fun locals to meet.
