Would you be willing to share your bucket list?
My wife and I just retired and joined the full-time RV life. We have been working on our bucket lit of good places to experience. We are very active, we like to bike (Road and MTB) hiking, see historical places, etc.
We were thinking that maybe some people would be willing to share their bucket list to help us build ours. Our current plan is to spend 2-4 weeks in one main location and then do day trips from there, so help with good place to stay would also be helpful.

Also read the "camping locations" thread. A lot of great ideas there.

If you do go to Sedona, I highly recommend the Zane Gray RV Park just outside of Camp Verde, about 25 miles from Sedona. It is among the nicest parks we have stayed in.

I'm sure it's a typo but Acadia Nat'l park is in Maine not NH.

I second the Utah parks. They have been on my list for 30 years and this last sept/Oct was able to go for 6 weeks. I'll maybe go back next year to further enjoy them.

X2 on both. We loved Sedona so much after a two week stay (in winter no less) that we moved there (here) as our home base. It is perfect for all of OP's hobbies.

Aside from just enjoying each other this would be a simple list;
Let me suggest a couple that all should see/visit/experience;
- Sunrise on the Atlantic
- Sunset On the Pacific
- Fall in the Mountains of Upstate New York
- Fall in the Mountains of Colorado
- Cross as many of the Mountain Passes as possible in Colorado (Yes and the Rest of the Rockies)
- See Snow on the Grand Canyon
- See a Bald eagle just Soar
- Visit and treat NYC as if it were a National Park
- Visit and Enjoy the Nation's Capital - Washington DC and all the monuments and Museums
- From the Movie "Bucket List" "Kiss the most Beautiful Girl in the World" this one is, for me is pretty easy - I've got Six Beautiful Granddaughters.
JMHO,
