Four States in America which I would certainly like to visit more often

If I could live another 500 years, I'd probably spend about 20 consecutive years checking out Oregon, Alaska, and the North and South Carolinas, taking pictures, and just roaming around in a Jeep 4x4, pulling a metalic twinky shaped camper.

The North and South Carolinas are so far from the Pacific Islands though, it would be hard to be so far away. Im also not an Atlantic Ocean fan, way different feel. I was in North Carolina when I was kid, just a few days, don't remember too much, but I do remember there were no street lights on the road we were on. We had gone on a family vacation, driving through the southeast part of the United States from Texas to North Carolina. It was a lot of cramped sleeping and highway sign games, but so much fun.

When we got there, which was in the fall season to watch the leaves change, we rented bikes to ride in the open countryside. Well the road we chose was very long, beautiful, unfortunately for us though it was dark within hours, and we noticed all of a sudden that the entire road had no lights. So, as cars passed by, we peddled fast, catching car head light to light our road way. Cell phones back then weren't in use, only pay phones, so there was no button to press for an emergency. It was funny.

If you've ever watched the movie "Last of the Mohicans", that's the area they filmed it, says movie insider sources. The scenery is epic, mountains and trees, it's what inspires people to become painters. Its what I would consider valuable, not some retailed Beverly California hill.

I think a state that can best all that though is Oregon, just from the research I've looked through. Ive never been there though, so sad, but just from the pictures and maps I want to annoint it a Samoan name and title. The Mountains have presence in Oregon, scenery that could attach quickly to any Samoan's heart who are naturally attracted to high elevated regions. Oregon also touches the Pacific Ocean, a plus +1, and I saw some great Jeep 4x4 terrain. No one ever hears anything from that area, and it's clear why, too busy enjoying themselves. There are Samoan communities already in Oregon, which is also the place where Troy Polamalu grew up from elementary to high school. [although California claims him]

Photos can be seen online of Oregon, North, and South Carolina "in the fall". The last state on my list is Alaska. There's a huge Samoan community in Alaska, so no worries. Even though its way too cold for me personally, to stay too long, I'd still love to check it out.
