dude ohio is pretty good. sure we don't have huge mountains, sure we don't have gorgeous beaches, sure we don't have vegas party scene. but what we do have is better, a little bit of everything. ohio has pretty decent flyfishing, good mountain biking, a beach in the summer with surfable waves (lake erie), enough ski resorts to keep any park rat happy over the winter, three big cities (cincinnati, columbus, cleveland) with more than enough shopping and nightlife to please anyone, and gambling on a river boat floating on the ohio river. and what's better is that none of it is more than a short drive away.
