best camping place usa image
doyouknow?
My boyfriend and I are planning a trip in December and we are looking for a place to go that we have never been to. We live in Ohio and would like something with 8 hours driving time. Has anyone visited any place spectacular that might be worth our time to look into?
let me fix that...we would like something that is within around 8 hours of driving time as we only have a few days to spend
Also if you have a specific town or attraction in that state, it would be very helpful
Answer
It might be a little longer than 8 hours, but The North Shore of Lake Superior is really really nice, if your into hiking, seeing beautiful waterfalls, experiencing the outdoors. There is a lot to do, but it is way more fun in the summer. There is canoeing/kayaking near the boundary waters canoe area. If you like skiing/snowboarding, there are some really nice ski slopes in Lutsen, MN. I swear, its better than some places in Colorado. There are lots of unique shops that sell unique jewelry, funky art or other things from the locals along the scenic highway. There are several state parks, like Gooseberry Falls State Park which is really cool. I know there is a place where you can mush sled dogs. There is camping, unique little gift shops all along the scenic highway... Duluth, MN is like a miniature little san franciso. It has cobblestone streets and really cool little shops. It also has a ski hill and you can see the ships go in/out of the harbor. Very neat. You can also go looking for agates. I suggested the North Shore of Lake Superior because I have travelled a lot its still my favorite place to go on vacation. If I wrote everything about it here, this post would be waayyy too long.
Here are some pics, If you are interested..some of them I took and others are from google

How were the "Internment Camps" during WW2 in the USA for the Japanese different from?
The concentration camps in Europe?
Answer
They relocated Japanese-Americans away from the coastal areas and into places in the Heartland like Iowa. There were actual houses and garden plots for the families, which is significantly different than the barracks that the extermination camps in Europe. The Japanese were allowed to work and earn a modest living, though they couldn't use telephones or have access to Western Union. It's fair to say they were under serious scrutiny, but they weren't physically harmed or under risk of death. There weren't armed guards or land mines around the camps, though there was a significant barrier with barbed wire. People lost their dignity in the camps and their civil rights were trod upon, but they didn't lose their lives or get separated from their loved ones.
