Same goes for Baltimore with mountains(Shenadoah, VA or mountains in central PA), beaches (MD, DE or NJ) and amusement parks all within 2 to 3 hour drive. Friends and I last weekend went hiking in PA (loop trail with 25 mid to large size waterfalls - Ricketts Glen) and after went to amusement park in the woods (Knoebels) for a few hours. Cool you like the west .. it's just too expensive and socialistic for me. Independent voter here.
