Orono, Maine

scottstevrva.bsky.social•61 days ago

Thing about Maine is you take a 20 minute drive any direction and are hit with vistas of heartbreaking beauty. Most beautiful state.

Attend a Rose Bowl was already on my bucket list but now it's at the top.

rodbrookstv.bsky.social•61 days ago

I have been lucky enough to travel to football and baseball stadiums around the country, and NOTHING matches coming out of those long Rose Bowl tunnels and seeing the field and San Gabriels in front of you. Literally perfect...

Tailgates at the Rose Bowl, especially on those perfect sunny days, are THE BEST

Thanks bro

Given what happened in NOLA I hope they're aware of their surroundings.

edsbs.bsky.social•61 days ago

other more cynical people IN THIS INDUSTRY want you to think it's not one of the most beautiful places on earth and they are FUCKIN' WRONG

vankaisersoze.bsky.social•61 days ago

It’s the reason for some of my stronger allergies to the modern system. I’m lucky to have been to five at ages 12, 17, 18, 28 & 29 - all beautiful experiences for wildly different reasons.

Pasadena - where you at?

cliffgozzling.bsky.social•61 days ago

I once seriously considered a job in Pasadena that would have subjected my entire family to drastic lifestyle cutbacks because I was like "hmm...the Rose Bowl is there"

buckchaser.bsky.social•61 days ago

I heard he got fired from his show for disrespecting the stadium visuals

joshblack.bsky.social•61 days ago

The moment we shared at the AU/FSU champ game and the euphoria we both were experiencing was surreal. I desperately want to go back.

edsbs.bsky.social•61 days ago

just the fuckin' best

joshblack.bsky.social•61 days ago

Fingers crossed that the renovations allow folks to come to their senses and put the title game back there. It should be outdoors on grass at happy football heaven.

albertogarcia17.bsky.social•61 days ago

I went to the USC-Michigan Rose Bowl in 2007 as a neutral fan, and thinking about my first sight of the field and the San Gabriels on the horizon still takes my breath away.

alidar.bsky.social•61 days ago

Flew in for USC/UCLA last month. Despite it being a night game, light rain, and not THE Rose Bowl, it was still incredible.

dadoggin1.bsky.social•61 days ago

It’s a great slice of life

edsbs.bsky.social•61 days ago

I don't know the order but

-sunset on the Golden Horn in Istanbul
-Rose Bowl dusk
-Paris
-Western coast of North Island, NZ
-Glacier NP
-Western Mongolia
-Annapurna circuit, Nepal
-Pitons, St. Lucia
-Grand Canyon
-Chicago/Milwaukee in the summer

roljamas.bsky.social•61 days ago

I got to spend 2 summers in Milwaukee in 19-20 and it was wonderful. Weather was perfect every day for 3 months.

bonejob.bsky.social•61 days ago

Milwaukee is a wildly underrated city

nlb.bsky.social•61 days ago

Didn’t get a picture that does it justice, but Wildhorse Campground in Idaho is absolutely beautiful

jacketdan.bsky.social•61 days ago

For our honeymoon we stayed at both the base of the Pitons and on the Pitons. I don’t know which view was better.

bcluxton.bsky.social•61 days ago

Yes. Glacier is spectacular

dzwickl.bsky.social•61 days ago

Istanbul slaps in general. Best city I've ever been to, and there's not a close 2nd

dmercer00.bsky.social•61 days ago

A big pile of rocks and odd trees out west deserves at least an honorable mention. Very astute on your combo No. 10 (which aren’t too bad in the winter, either).

Glacier National Park: A++++++

Lake McDonald is the clearest water ever.

Can verify on Paris and Chicago in the summer. Lake Michigan has POWERS.

kegdaly.bsky.social•61 days ago

Climbing the Petit Piton when I was 10 is still one of the wildest things I ever did. What a beautiful place.

chinajoeflynn.bsky.social•61 days ago

Hell yea, Istanbul sunsets. Especially love the view from the top of Galata Tower

edsbs.bsky.social•61 days ago

the whole place is the most unreal city I've ever been to

Somehow 50% of all the shops are hair salons. It's wild.

Literally my favorite place 🖤🖤

jaslee88.bsky.social•61 days ago

Y'all, we love Glacier. It doesn't hold a candle to Banff / Jasper.

twohandmath.bsky.social•61 days ago

How many days for a full experience? I'm thinking of planning a road trip

mattberry05.bsky.social•61 days ago

I honestly can’t tell you because I went pre-COVID and it is entirely different now. You need a vehicle reservation to drive Going to the Sun Road and they book up instantly like six months in advance

ryanday.bsky.social•61 days ago

Went to the Cliffs of Moher once and it changed my life.

jason1749.bsky.social•61 days ago

Driving down Lake Shore Drive in the morning during the summer as the sun rises over the lake is a religious experience

dfausel.bsky.social•61 days ago

Wait how does lake wanaka on the south island not make the list?

edsbs.bsky.social•61 days ago

...because I haven't been there?

Two Austrians offered a joint at the summit and stupidly took them up. I think my panic attack was gone by Ghorepani.

Have you ever seen the terraced rice fields in Bali, isle of skye and the fairy mounds in Scotland, or the Icelandic highlands? Those are some of the most amazing places I have ever seen.

ladywhoknowsstuff.bsky.social•61 days ago

Weirdly chuffed that my hometown Milwaukee (in the summer) made this list. But it is 💯 accurate.

Green River Overlook, Island in the Sky section of Canyonlands NP, Moab, Utah.

(We nearly skipped it after Arches, but this shot has been a part of my being since I took it in July 2023.)

lordstrange.bsky.social•61 days ago

Yes. Spent a few hours there just sitting and watching the light change as the afternoon waned.

hooverstreetrag.org•61 days ago

I listened to @bluebarronphoto.bsky.social who was moderately insistent about Canyonlands, and he was absolutely right. It helped that we got there at basically golden hour.

cockybovine.me•61 days ago

An underrated place that doesn't get as much attention as a certain canyon to the southwest is the Black Canyon of the Gunnison in Colorado:

thebstardsback.bsky.social•61 days ago

Here to praise another of Colorado’s underrated National Parks: Great Sand Dunes.

hooverstreetrag.org•61 days ago

Oh that's tremendous.

We were going to go there this year, but that bridge closure added 4 hours one way on our drive so it’s a future trip.

As a UCLA fan a huge pro is getting to go there all the time. An obvious con is that I usually watch us lose there, but nevertheless!

burberry-du-bois.bsky.social•61 days ago

i watched my alma mater lose the rose bowl by 1 point to a team coached by mario cristobal and it's still a top 3 experience of the decade for me

strategerey.bsky.social•61 days ago

It's glorious and when dusk approaches it gets turned up to 11.

cwmatx.bsky.social•61 days ago

I was going to say that sunset in that stadium with that environment is stunning and I remember it very clearly to this day.

Spencer, I have seen Purdue play in a Rose Bowl in person.

It was a life highlight.

We got so high in a tree in the parking lot we fell out of it. It actually helped us find our car after the event, we recognized the tree.

When I lived next to the bowl in HS/College I would hide bottles of vodka in sand traps for post game.
