What's on your American Bucket List?

What's on your American Bucket List?
Finally ticked another one of my list, at the missus family reunion, shot lots of big guns...started with a weedy .22, .30, .304, .306, .308, .32 and ended up with 12 gauge double barrel and pump action shotguns.
Quite fun, but I'm shit at skeet shooting, though finally hit some moving targets with a rifle...shells are cheap, except the .32, which were $1.75 a shell, which seemed expensive.
Other bucket list things ticked off my list include:
Going to a drive in movie theatre
Seeing a moose in the wild
Eat a lobster fresh from a trap at the beach
Drive a massive pickup truck
See a sunrise from Cadillac Mountain, highest, eastern point in the US
Some other things that are still on the list include:
Riding the CAT to N.S, but that's not going to happen anymore as they've sold that to China
Drive a classic 60's or early 70's muscle car...a modern Dodge Charger is fun but a little soulless
Visit more states, so far only seen pretty much New England, with ME, MA, NH, VT, CT, NJ, NY, RI and PA. Be a great road trip to see the rest
Hike the Appalachian Trail
So what about you lot? What's on your list and what have you crossed off?

See Monument Valley, and some of the NP's in Utah. Go to a Bluegrass Music show or festival. Ride the old wooden roller coaster at Cedar Point before either it or me gets too creaky. Stay on Sanibel Island, FL for a few days.
Already been to Yellowstone and Grand Teton NP's, but would love to go again.

I'll find the recipe and post it. I've seen a couple of recipes recently that are wrong. The real ones have both yeast and soda to make all those butter caves.
