2021 attractions

One of the main reasons for traveling the United States in a motorhome is to explore the many wonders around the country. This is a summary of some of the attractions we visited in 2021.

I’ll skip the many Yellowstone National Park places; check out the Yellowstone posts for those.

As with the previous summary, I’ll include a link to the corresponding blog post, and a sample picture. Click or tap the link to see more.

You can see all of the attraction-related blog posts via the exploring category, with the earliest posts at the top, or the latest posts at the top.
