Was visiting a friends store in Red Wing, Mn. which is right on the Mississippi. There was a very large cruise boat docked there and the city was entertaining hundreds of folks from it.
Turns out there are several that cruise up and down the Mississippi stopping a cities all along the way. The company even had a fleet of buses stationed in Red Wing to accommodate the passengers.

I wouldn't mind trying that.

The packages I see are for 9 days and run from two thousand to four thousand dollars depending on amenities. For that you get all food, drinks, (but not cocktails), entertainment, shore time, ect. Kinda spendy but it is all inclusive. I guess you have to make arrangements to fly back.

My brother and his wife own the Bayside Steal House restaurant in Red Wing. Tomorrow they have two bands playing outside, only one I remember is the Daisy Dillman Band that I used to follow back in the late seventies when I lived in the Minneapolis area. Sounds like a great time but I cannot get away.

That was supposed to Bayside Steak House.

We live about thirty miles away but get down there once in a while. Will look that place up. Thanks.

Red Wing is a really nice river town with a lot to see.
My neighbor runs the Red Wing Pottery Museum along with Larry's Jugs where he buys and sell Red Wing Pottery.
The old Pottery factory is no longer in production but there is a very healthy hobby of collecting the different
items that were produced there. Some go for a lot of money.

Thought I would throw this out there out of curiosity.
The highest percentage of us are older, so, I'm figuring many might have some thoughts on this issue. Maybe some have already satisfied their desires.
I don't expect a whole lot, but, there are a few things I would still like to do and places to see.
My first career transferred me across the country, so I became a career renter. Main thing on my list was to buy my own home so I had a place to leave to my son. I achieved that at a late age.
Although I have traveled the country a lot, still have not seen the Grand Canyon...hope to do so.
Anyway, I think of this topic a lot anymore, as I'm not getting any younger and a couple health issues are prompting these thoughts.
Please share if you wish to. Maybe things already realized, or things planned/hoped for.

Mark, after you visit the Grand Canyon, I strongly recommend driving through Flagstaff down into Sedona by way of Oak Creek Canyon. I loved the area around Oak Creek Canyon and Sedona. It’s one of those areas I could very happily retire to someday.

My bucket list (some being repeats) includes:

• Black Hills and the Badlands in the Dakotas. I haven’t been there since 1988.
  Glacier National Park
  The national parks in Utah
  Summit county Colorado, the areas around Tahoe or Park City Utah (for a ski trip while I’m still “young”)
  Alaska
  Victoria/Vancouver
  The train trip across Canada
  More deer hunting trips
  More range trips
  More mountain time
  A real fly fishing trip (I am a complete novice and some professional instruction would be fantastic)

Adding to PatientWolf's suggestion, Schnebly Hill Road out of Sedona. Very rough back road with beautiful views of rock formations and vistas. One of my pictures here: http://henryrifleforums.com/viewtopic.p ... oad#p63167
