Ooops, I just realized I am talking to two Canadians and a Finn. The building above is the Lincoln Memorial, Lincoln was a famous president of USA over a century and a half ago.
Major bummer here, I do not have a photo of Province House in Charlottetown to show for you Canadians. I stayed three nights at a hostel three blocks away from Province House and would show a photo if I had one. I was there on Canada Day in 2019, it rained all day.
I thought Lincoln was a car
Although I am a Canuck, as a history buff I know far more about American history than our own, as it has shaped so much of world affairs. I know all the administrations from Roosevelt forward and the major doctrines they promoted, social/civil movements etc... and the civil war also has great appeal in the sense of wanting to see all the places I've read about.
I think it might be fair to say the west has the edge on natural history and the east has the edge on social history. I'm nerdy enough to enjoy both.
Oh, and I'll probably do White Rim alone. No one else I know likes cycle touring and I am loath to plan big trips with strangers. If a company had a good deal for gear hauling or stashing water I might take advantage of it. There are some good shops in Moab that are pretty friendly that way. I plan to go in the first two weeks of Nov when the crowds are gone but the days still have some warmth.
