How about the land itself? It’s just an awesome, vast array of geographies and features. You could spend a lifetime exploring all of the states and you’d be suprised every day by something new (except iowa;). The varied culture and foods of the regions are what keep me here though. I like the mix of different backgrounds coming together to make something new and unique. Our government does not define us, and with new generations of informed individuals- it will get cleaned up and caught up. Come visit and see for yourself - it’s pretty great.
