As the key point to note in this Website overview, Blue State Travel in America is NOT a mouthpiece for any political party or affiliation; moreover, you will NOT find any correlated political statements or opinions. Our sister site, Red State Travel in America, follows this same code of conduct. After all, this nation’s red and blue states equally share some of the most awe-inspiring scenic sights, historic sites, and landmarks ever known to man.
Blue State Travel’s challenge is twofold — promote outdoor tourism within politically friendly backyards AND embrace new travel experiences in unfamiliar political surroundings. In a constantly shifting political landscape, our minority or majority status is often fluctuating, which means it’s usually best to keep an open mind about personal travel and other leisurely activities.
Because not every family (or even individuals) can afford luxury vacations, Blue State Travel encourages the economic alternative of touring one’s own state or nearby states via the traditional mode: car/SUV, truck, bus or RV. Of course, occasionally seeing America by air is not discouraged, either, if your budget allows. The fact is, there’s more out there than you can imagine! Some of Blue State Travel’s featured attractions will be familiar to experienced outdoor enthusiasts, while other destinations will be lesser known, off the proverbial beaten path just waiting for exploration. Our published content addresses statewide recreational and scenic areas, national parks, and other attractions, with an educational focus on outdoor memorials, monuments, and landmarks of interest.
Although there are numerous travel guides in libraries and at local and online bookstores, many of them are location-specific or too costly. Today’s tourist wants easily accessible information for a variety of purposes, not just something that will be used sparingly and then placed on a wall shelf or in a desk drawer to collect dust. Eventually, Blue State Travel in America could evolve from the blogosphere into something more tangible, perhaps an e-book that is comprehensive, yet convenient enough for a time-conscious traveler to access. One major advantage of an e-book is its space-saving feature; one can simply print out a few pages of specific information or download an e-file for expanded viewing when convenient.
