MICHIGAN  

The Shore To Shore Ride - Michigan   This ride is from Lake Michigan to Lake Huron.  No roads, no former RR Trails, ALL woods, streams, forest and all trails for 260 miles . . . Bears, deer, coyotes, and birds galore!  You actually ride into each of the great lakes.  http://mtra.org/     

TEXAS  

Big Bend National Park - Texas   Just short of 1 million acres of desert and mountains. A must see. A scenic adventure along the Rio Grande River  http://www.nps.gov/bibe/index.htm or (432) 477-2251    

Mineola Nature Preserve - Mineola, TX   The Mineola Nature Preserve on the Sabine River encompasses 2,911 acres located in Wood County, and is home to East Texas species of critters that can fly, walk, crawl, and slither, and home to more than 193 species of birds, numerous wildlife, buffalo, longhorn cattle, and a pristine wetlands environment. Imagine walking along a railroad bed built in the 1860s as you step back in history. Owned by the City of Mineola, this is part of a comprehensive development plan to protect our natural wildlife and habitat for future generations. This pristine area is an escape to the quiet of nature and the solitude of yesteryear. http://mineolanaturepreserve.com/
