RE: This Land is Your Land, This Land is My Land....
Awesome! Happy 4th, also the day that Steemit first paid out :-)
I had no idea that Mt. St Helen's was in the US, wow, geography is not my strong point!
I can see why you love it so much; absolutely beautiful, and I love that Indian Paintbrush as well, super cool :-)
I didn't join until early Aug last year, I didn't know the 4th was the first day steemit paid out, happy anniversary! Yes all the huge Mts in the US are here in the western part of the country and north in Alaska. I grew up in flat lands and nearby the beach which I loved, but now I'm completely in love with rivers, mountains and trees. You live a long way away, so it's understandable that you wouldn't know about this one mountain. Anyway, thanks so much for reading and commenting!
You're welcome!
Aha, it seems you've been around forever :-)
Yeah, I had heard the name Mt St. Helens, and I thought it was somewhere tropical, like Fiji or something, weird.
It's funny, I used to scoff at Americans without a passport, however now I realise that there is almost every type of climate and terrain in the country. Therefore you can really know a lot, just by travelling around the States.

You're right the country is so large and varied in people and land! But I agree....everyone needs to go to other countries, it opens the mind which I think is a necessity for everyone and particularly Americans.
have you been to the US?
oh my, I have to go to sleep, I can't believe i'm up here commenting on steemit at 3am...yikes, good night!
Haha, uh-oh, get to sleep! Catch this comment when you wake up! :-)
Yes I have been, but only to New York, where I have family.
I reckon I could spend 10 years exploring America (at least!) I want to do Yellowstone, and the swamps of Florida, and now the mountains of Portland :-)
Nighty night x

:-), got a little sleep. New York is so fun and so much of everything and also unlike anywhere else in the US, your list is great and I'd like to add the central California coast, and the desert like Death Valley, Joshua Tree and/or the Alvore Desert in Oregon, as well as what's called the four corners area which is where Colorado, Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico meet - this area is truly other-worldly. I have Swiss friends who came here for 3 months, rented a car and drove around the country. They had a great time and it was a life-changing experience, that's a good way to do it. Anyway if you come here, let me know and I'll give you some tips, contacts and anything else I can help with and hopefully meet as well!
btw, I've never really been to the UK except Heathrow several times, it's time I go! I have family there and have always wanted to go so maybe in the next few years.
Good stuff :-). Yeah I've heard that NYC is really different from the rest of the States. Which both excites, and terrify's me :-)
Thanks for the extra tip, so many places! I'm also thinking San Francisco... One day soon... I'll keep you posted :-)
