Sorry, I have driven through Delaware. I noted 0 worthy natural features.
As a Delawarean Iâm obligated to defend it. It has beaches, which a lot of people fancy. Not my thing, but theyâve built a thriving tourist hellscape around them.
Natural features in Delaware:
- Trees
- Sand
Thank you, I have updated the list.

St. Cloud is an interesting part of the state, the parklands between prairie and the deep woods. The city itself has become half slum, half trailer park and .5% decent enough area.
Last year I took my future BIL fly fishing an hour north of the cities, the mosquitos were so thick you could barely see skin on your hands. The kind of bugs that can almost be panic inducing. Spend enough time in the woods here and ticks and skeeters like that just kind of become the norm. He wasnât having any of it, âis it always like this?â âThere arenât many bugs in the winter, it makes ice fishing pretty nice.â

I find myself drawn to this type of click-baiit.
I wonderâŚ
I suppose a certain amount of dissatisfaction is inherent in every life.
One probably canât escape this dissatisfaction.
Itâs extremely unlikely that a change of freeways and freeway exits will solve the underlying problems of life.
I know people who love the beaches in Delaware and think they are among the best on the East Coast.
I dated a girl from Delaware once. She had several noteworthy natural features.

This is Middle Tennessee. If we had Colorado-like winter with sunshine, that would go a long way in dealing with winter.

I think that Iâve mentioned this before. A number of years back I was working a contract where I traveled to Indiana about once a month for 1-2 weeks at a time. I really enjoyed the spring, summer and fall - but the winters were always cloudy. I made the comment that if someone told me to stick something âwhere the sun donât shineâ I would know that they were talking about Indiana in the winter. Sounds like middle TN is about the same, which makes sense since theyâre fairly close.

I think I mentioned this in another thread, but in Indiana, in the middle of November, put your sunglasses someplace safe where you wonât forget them, because you wonât need them for the next four months.

Yep, 100% fact. Stay away from those states not listed. Northern Idaho is on the all world yeam for sure.
Interesting.
My daughter and her fiance moved to MN from southern GA a couple of years ago for his job (GA sweltering heat and humidity to MN winters and only slightly less-hot/humid summers) and they love it.
Theyâre about 30 minutes south of the twin cities in Lakeville. So far, neither of them do winter stuff but have really gotten more into hiking/kayaking the rest of the year. Their place is on the edge of a nature preserve/conservation area with a creek running along their property line, so I can confirm the mosquito issue you mention.
Thereâs a fucking ocean
Did a [other forum thing] in Dewey Beach in 2008. Once you get out of the built-up town areas spoiled by outlet malls and crappy hotels, the coast is actually pretty nice.
Along the DE/PA border there are also some areas of wooded, rolling hills that make for really fun MTBing.
Sounds like they live in my Cousinâs neighborhood, no joke. They live close to 3 or 4 mountain bike trails that groom nice trails in the winter for fat biking and some cross country ski trails in that area.
Have they paddled the St Croix yet? It was the nations first national scenic riverway. I really want to paddle the section south of Taylors falls after the first snow of the fall. The Rum from Isanti to Anoka is a nice two or three day paddle.
I am on the exact opposite side of the cities, where the 35s come together on the north side, that makes my default to head north as I donât have to drive through the cities to get there (bang on 2 hours to duluth).
If you havenât come out to visit and been to the north shore, highly recommend.
The biggest problem with being an outdoors person in Minnesota is that the seasons are so different it is completely different pieces of equipment for your winter and summer activities.
I assumed that by what I said it would be noted that I literally drove through Delaware and stayed on the highway that runs through the middle of the tree infested state.
I was mistaken. I am sure that Delaware has some nicer parts. I saw none of them and fired a shot across the bow of the state for fun.
Lived for years in that area. Great mountain biking and road riding in that area. Lots of small back roads in PA and MD with low traffic. Not lived a ton of places but that was by far the best for cycling.
Southern DE is also good for road riding if you stay away from the resort beaches, itâs just pancake flat.
