Country #02 - United States - Part 3

 Country #2 - The United States, Part 3

After the pandemic hit hard and then began to calm down a bit, I become more interested in travelling further out in the United States and visited Colorado, Wyoming and Idaho in 2021, Washington State in 2022, and Minnesota in 2023. I also visited Waterville Valley in New Hampshire often during this time. The year 2022 was particularly exciting, as I was able to visit six different states besides Massachusetts: South Carolina, Washington, New York, Tennessee, Florida, and New Hampshire.
