On a lighter side of general topics....
Where have you been in the continental US that you think most folks haven't (places that most folks have probably at least heard of).
For me, off of the top of my head...
The Jelly Belly factory.
Niagra Falls.
Stone Mountain.
Baseball Hall of Fame.
Football Hall of Fame.
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Statue of Liberty.
Pier 39.
Coke-a-Cola Museum.
Disney World.

Mount Washington
Bar Harbor Arcadia
Walt Disney World
Antietam Field Williamsburg Md
South Beach Florida

Your mom's house.
Oh, no--most people have DEFINITELY been to her house. The original question is places most people HAVEN'T been.
But as for me:
Lake Powell
Four Corners Nat'l Monument (don't ask me why)
Canyon de Chelly, AZ
Chaco Canyon, NM
Acoma Pueblo, NM
Yellowstone (EAST side, coming in from Cody)
Mount Rushmore
Jerome/Sedona
Death Valley
Astoria, OR
Craters of the Moon
Pittsburg, NH
The English-speaking parts of Los Angeles
Pissing in the geyser in Soda Springs, ID
And yes, I have indeed, "Seen Rock City".

You will note most of the places I mentioned were in the West, where I was born and raised. Here in NE? Not so much.
-
I have been from one end to the other of I-95. Been to all but 4 of the lower 48, I am missing Oregon, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota.

I've been to Jerome/Sedona/Prescott, AZ. So beautiful in those areas. Jerome is my favorite and can't wait to go back again sometime soon.... if gas prices ever go down.
-
Ohhhhhhhhhhh, I am pea green envious. I would love to visit all those places everyone has mentioned. I hope I will in this life time....maybe rent an RV , or a small convo van and a pop up tent. I like the RV idea better, then I can bring Jingles with me...

I haven't been anywhere unique and don't travel as much as I used to. I love the Outer Banks and it's hardly an exclusive locale these days, but the only interesting place was Alaska (Anchorage, Homer, Soldotna, Soldovia, and Ekwok). Unless you count the flight to Anchorage, I have never been more than 50 miles west of the Mississippi River.
I need to get out more.

Gosh, some great places listed in this thread. I guess the most recognizable ones for me would be:
Ellis Island (Statue of Liberty on the same trip)

So do i. Of course money is an issue and time and of course a good travel buddy. Those of us, who have been stationed on military bases have an edge. On leave, they would grab a few buddies, get a car and take off, and go anywhere within a four hour driving period, and see all kinds of stuff. I would have done that anyway...

Ding dong is just a couple buildings and a few people. I used to stop in at a little gas station/Cafe and have a Burger and beer with this old boy who ran the place with his wife. Chew the fat and get stories of lore about the area. This old boy met his future bride when she was on a date with a fellow named Elvis Presley. Never know what you will learn talking to older folks.

Ding Dong, Texas
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ding Dong, Texas
Ding Dong is an unincorporated community in Central Texas. It is situated on the Lampasas River, eight miles south of Killeen in southwestern Bell County. Ding Dong was named because of two early settlers in the town, Zulis Bell and Bert Bell, who opened a store and hired an artist, Cohn Cohen Hoover, to make a sign for it. The Bells instructed the sign painter to make a sign. Hoover painted a sign with two bells on it. Inside the bells, Hoover painted the initials of the Bell brothers. Underneath one bell he painted the word "Ding" and the word "Dong" under the other bell. Over the years, because of this sign, this community became known as Ding Dong.

A college classmate and roommate of mine and I spent spring break my senior year in college, at Anaconda, Montana.
We went there because we didn't want to go where "everybody else" was going, and besides, it boasted the world's tallest smokestack.
It was great.

I'd guess less than 5%. Most of the fat tourists (my in-laws run a B-n-B in the area) prefer to go to the rim, look over the edge, say "Yep, that's a damned big ditch", and then head over to the El Tovar Hotel for cocktails.

I think your accuracy is 99% or better on that guess.

I love this topic and it's really interesting to see where everyone's been. Been to several of those listed, how about these?

Drove the Alaska Hwy in 2000, cross-country from Chas SC...amazing trip.

My dad was an Air Force recruiter and back when Mr. Pibb was first coming out on the shelves, the Air Force, the Cocoa Cola company, and Wolfman Jack all participated in a promotion for it. My dad represented the AF as a sponsor, and the release included Wolfman Jack going up in the air in a "Mr. Pibb" hot air balloon. I got to go up with him since I was with my dad.
