Travel from sea to shining sea; by car or by plane, there's plenty to see in the good ole US of A.
Traveling the Oregon Coast
Come closer. I need to share something. The Oregon Coast may be this country's best-kept secret for a summer trip. I know, Oregon is so renowned for rain its best football team is the “Ducks.” It is nearly rain free during the summer months. June-September is a magical time to see a magical place. In fact, the real rainfall doesn't even begin until after Halloween.

Right on Red State: Florida Weather
Florida is hot. It's an undeniable fact, yet tourists feel the need to point it out. Floridians, and people who live in Florida, but don't want to be labelled as Floridians, are well aware that it is hot outside. Don't feel the need to remind them for the sake of small talk. They all know the statewide high temperatures are caused by Florida's proximity to the equator, and the low elevation making Florida very close to Hell.

Right on Red State: Florida Highways
As of the writing of this article, there are twelve major interstate highways in Florida. We can assure you that we will not be updating this article if any more are built, so don’t try to correct us. Of the twelve, nine interstate highways never leave the state of Florida, which makes one question the meaning of the word interstate. They are Interstates 4, 10, 75, 95, 110, 175, 275, 375, 195, 295, 395, 595. The last eight are just roads the connect the first four, which explains why they don't connect to other states. This leaves one highway, I-4. It technically shouldn't even be part of the Interstate System as it doesn't run through multiple states. This is the first strike against “Interstate” 4.

Best Vacation Spots In Alaska
Of all the states in the US, Alaska is the largest, and yet also among least populated. This is a shame, since the state possesses such natural beauty. At the northern reaches of the planet, in a land divided by ice and snow, there remain such sights that you can only dream of.

Worst Places To Travel For Americans
Once upon a time, Americans were widely accepted and wanted everywhere they went. The idea of talking about the worst places to travel basically relied on showing which had the least pleasurable accommodations or the fewest English speaking people in the world. Back then, the world was a more peaceful place, filled with exotic sights and fun locals to meet.

Strangest Places In New Jersey
New Jersey has always been regarded as being a little... odd. Ever since the days of the Last Royal Governor, Ben Franklin's illegitimate and loathed son, New Jersey has been the butt-end of jokes. And, quite frankly, it's a little tiring. We gave you guys Frank Sinatra, Whitney Houston, Buzz Aldrin, Abbot and Costello, and Eddie Murphy (AKA the best part of Shrek), among countless others. Oh, and George R.R. Martin, so you wouldn't have Game of Thrones without this state. Nor would you have The Sopranos. Basically, HBO as a network would be nowhere without New Jersey.

Towns with the Best LGBTQA Communities
It seems common knowledge to many that many cities have communities where the best LGBTQA community can gather in peace and harmony, but small towns are a bit of a different matter. Small towns bring to mind images of racist old people and hate speech. Despite the comforting idea of small towns from yesteryear, those in minority groups recognize that in small, isolated communities, intolerance has a way of spreading.

Most Bizarre Museums In America
America's fascination with the strange has always been around. It's one of the reasons why P.T. Barnum's freak shows helped launch him into stardom and helped him retire a millionaire. Though freak shows may no longer be as popular, the fact is that Americans still are deeply enamored with the strange.
