We've done the East, South, Southwest, but not the West as in California. Been to the Calgary Stampede and the Grand Canyon though.
We usually don't stay in one place more than a week at the most, and then we move on. We might hear about something we've not seen,
and off we go.
But it always feels good to be back home in the Spring.
We're also loners and travel alone most of the time.
Spring has sprung. Get out and shoot your Henry

I guess that would be a strong sense of pride, or put a knot in your throat...maybe both.

Re: Bucket List
Seriously....living 100% off the grid would be a big one. But I don't know if that will happen, although nice to think about. Checked a couple off already; Custer Battlefield, guided in Wyoming, Buffalo Bill's house in North Platte. One big one when young was to get paid to cowboy, and have done that lots of times now.

Re: Bucket List
In addition to growing up in a very liveable place like Kansas City, I've had the good fortune to live in all four corners of the country during my life. I traveled for decades for work, and have seen/been in nearly all 50 states.
I also did a couple of foreign study stints in college, and I'd like to go back to the UK for a few weeks. Self-guided (for the most part), on my own timeline, England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales. 4-6 weeks.

Re: Bucket List
I've traveled to many interesting places in the world. I've met royalty, poor folk, regular folk, retired once, done things I never dreamed of and done things I have dreamed of. I finished my bucket list early. I am fortunate I guess. It was a short list in full disclosure.
The rest has been gravy. I can't wait to retire a second time and become a gentleman farmer of sorts. I have not collected all the firearms I want. One still eludes me. It is a Henry. It hasn't been made yet and may never be made. It will be one of one. I will let you know if that ever happens.
But my list is full and I'm still pretty young. Yup, the rest is gravy.
