Last year, I posed these queries:

What do YOU consider to be "should see" areas/places in your home state?

What would you tell travelers to check out, if they have the time, as they drive through your state?

What "obscure" and "out of the way" places in your home state come to mind?

In August, I posted the answers received. Since then, I've received additional suggestions. Below is the newest compilation of answers ... which may prove that you find another part of yourself in every state. This is not a "complete" list and may not be 100% accurate; however, it is an excellent start to planning a vacation or road trip...ENJOY!

I've been to Delaware Water Gap park, but it's not really near Delaware the state... stopped there a couple times for a few hours on trips when driving from Ohio to Boston back in '92 and '93. Beautiful area.

Ah, yes ... I probably will add that.

I appreciate the additional suggestions ... believe we may have "list the third" in the near future ;).
