Quiltluvr - I've wanted to see the Grand Tetons since I was ten or eleven years old. So, yes, it is on my "bucket list".
Omak - New York City definitely is all concrete and neon. But here in upstate NY, we have a lot of variety! There's wine country - lots of vineyards and wineries - in the finger lakes (central part of the state) and also along the shore of Lake Erie. Near the Lake Ontario shore, the climate is a few degrees milder so they grow apples, cherries, peaches, plums and pears. New York State is the second largest producer of apples (albeit a DISTANT second to Washington State)! We also grow a lot of potatoes and cabbage, and yes there are quite a few dairy farms, though less than there used to be, as the price paid for milk is so low.
