100 Places in the USA

So the other day I bought one of these LIFE magazines special travel issues off the shelf at the grocery store check out. I love when I find these special travel magazines with gorgeous glossy photos...gets me dreaming and wanting to go...since I have a BAD case of travel addiction.
Decided to come up with my own list-100 places in the USA I have NOT been to and want to go to. Just to see if I can do this, of course. (so these are only places in the USA and only places I have never been too. They might be a museum, a National Park, a city...where you pick is VERY open. That's the rules...as they say.)

The first 16 are easy-as I want to visit all 50 states and have 16 left to go to. So any place or anywhere in the following states
1-Hawaii
2-Alaska
3-Washington
4-Idaho
5-New Mexico
6-Kentucky
7-Alabama
8-Mississippi
and then we have the big belt in the middle of the USA
9-North Dakota
10-Iowa
11-Wisconsin
12-Minnesota
13-Kansas
14-Nebraska

when you travel you discover them
58-climb a local mnt called Moose Mnt which I'm not sure where it is

Let me think about this and finish this up later.
