Glad Arizona isn't on the negative list. New England is gorgeous. It bothers me that Maine is the only state up there I haven't seen. I was so close but didn't make it. I lived in Florida for three months. I found the culture around Orlando to be very age-oriented as in young. Like "Hi I'm John Doe. How old are you?" I was in my forties at that time and felt like a relatively old person.
Possibly you could give Northern CA another try. In the redwoods up Hwy 101. Redding is on I5 and a meth heavy city. IMO, Bakersfield is the armpit of CA. Again, this is my opinion. Stay on the coast! Also, the state parks in Northern California are mostly smack dab in the middle of the most amazing trees on the planet. The Avenue of the Giants is always a favorite! IMO, Burlington state campground is the best one on the Avenue of the Giants. There are some incredible places in CA!! I hope you can give it another try and stay off I5. Stick to the PCH/hwy 101
That's fair! I've been sorta interested in the Mendocino area, for example, since that's where Murder She Wrote was filmed (as a fictional stand-in for Maine, where I'm from originally).
I was surprised about Alabama too! We kept an open mind while traveling and it was really interesting how it felt to live different places for a little while.

Arizona was fun! New England is pretty but very short RVing season unfortunately.

❤ OR! Surprised about Alabama but will have to add the coast there to my list. Northern Nevada mountains is the only worthy area in the state, imho.

Nevada? You missed Lake Tahoe area.
That's true. We didn't go to Lake Tahoe -- or Great Basin National Park, for that matter.
