1. So many people and so many fences.
2. An entire nation perfectly developed for road trips (except you can’t simply pull over and pitch a tent as often as you would like due to #1).
3. Guns (boo!)
4. Swimming pool size sodapop and meal portions which require front end loaders.
5. Lots and lots of friendly people (yay!)

All in all, a wonderful place to visit. (I’d like to take Idaho back home with me, but they won’t let me.)
