some very good ones have not been mentioned yet. But I'm not quite ready to rank them all, I've got a few more trips to make myself.
Oh come on Tom, what's the worst that could happen - hundreds of internet geeks scrutinise every syllable for time immemorial?
PS - mine weren't posted in any particular order.
For what it's worth, these are the ten trips I'd like to make before I finish The Confidential Guide:
1. western Canada (Banff, Jasper, Sagebrush)
2. Kunming and Nepal (Stone Forest, Spring City, Gokarna Forest, Himalayan GC) - will do this in December
3. South Island N.Z. (Arrowtown, Jack's Point, The Hills, Oreti Sands)
4. central Europe (Sand Valley Poland, Thracian Cliffs, ?others)
5. Sean Arble's England (Beau Desert, Huntercombe, Kington, Stoneham)
6. John Bernhardt's South (Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas)
7. Ron Montesano's upstate NY (Teugega, Monroe, CC of Buffalo)
8. Oregon Trail (Astoria, Waverly, Columbia-Edgewater)
9. Matt Ward bluff (Red Ledges, Promontory, Glenwild, Salt Lake City CC)
10. gotta leave one open
I've only given myself another two years to finish, so I don't know if I can get all these done or not, but, I can dream!
