Okay so some of you may know that I have recently quit my job and I am driving a small RV with my dogs accross North America for the next few months.

Some of you say Who the hell is Roughneck? How does someone I've enver heard of get so many posts?

Anyway the fact of the matter is I am going to be extremely mobile very soon and I want to know what to see.

I know of the big stuff that I want to see like The Grand Canyon and the Alamo and the Redwood Forrest and Old Faithful and Graceland and the Jom Henson Statue at the University of Maryland.

Anyway I want to know what else is there? A lot of areas have awesome things that just aren't widely known about ....Like Moad Utah? How many of you know about the Rock Erosions north of Moab Utah?

So what small hidden Gems do you have nearby that I need to see in my Cross Continent tour?
 
Umm..its kind of sad that you are going by yourself and your dogs. Maybe find some friends to go with. Itd be a lot funner.
 
It's a journy to rediscover myself.

Sounds lame but I need to go by myself.

Plus none of my frineds can afford to go or take the time off.
 
lol just hoping to find some random hot girl in some random bar and take her home and marry her.
 
Living in England, there are alot of great looking scenerys and landmarks.

Here's a couple in my nearest towns:

This church has been around for about 700-800 years, apparently it's in the Doomsday book. It's about a 5 minute walk from my house.

Hahaha, I plan on doing the same thing eventually Roughneck.

Well not the exact, but I plan to travel around once I get my life in some order.

You should come visit Pincher Creek, and we can get drunk together.
:up:
It is in Alberta, where I think you live, do you not?
 
I live near Cedar Point

I've lived near there my whole life......how did I never know about that statue? lol
 
You should take pictures of what you see and post them so we can follow you along on your journey :)
 
One man's Hidden Gem may be another's Nightmare. It all depends on the kind of things you like to see. If you have a fear of tight dark spaces, you wouldn't want to go caving. If you have a fear of heights, you wouldn't want to go to the Grand Canyon or the Rockies. If you have a fear of wide open spaces, you'ld have to avoid the plains.

However, that said, one of my Favourite places to go (especially in winter) is the Allan Gardens Conservatory

http://www.toronto.ca/parks/parks_gardens/allangdns.htm

It's a lovely large green house, that hardly anyone seems to visit. There is a donation box, but no real admission fee.

How am I supposed to tell if they're UNKNOWN treasures?:huh:

because Nazis keep trying to steal them....duh!!!!:cmad:
 
Um... well... uh... Renee Zellweger grew up around here, and... uh... we have a mall that kinda looks like it belongs in Disney World...

Ah, who am I kidding? This town has jack squat. They don't believe in history around here so they tear down anything remotely oldish and replace it with something fancy and new.
 
The Island of Misfit Toys. TEDDY!

I'm from a town called Watrous....Saskatchewan is indeed flat.
 
They filmed Roswell around here. The alien building from it in Old Town was torn down. Uhhh...The Hollywood sign isn't that far away, like maybe 30 mins.
