Every writer dreams of writing the great American novel. Well, I haven't done that yet, but I did contribute to National Geographic's Great Outdoors U.S.A. It's time to start making a new bucket list—there's 1,000 adventures all over the U.S. to explore. https://t.co/ga08Nxr9Vd https://t.co/Sn5rFjcMQs
