I had coffee in Smithville, Arkansas a few years back.
I spent a week in Bemidji one day, nice town.

Point Hope, AK. You'd have to see it to believe it.

Karachi, Pakistan. The harbor had so much trash and dead animals floating in it, you could almost walk on water  It's the only place in my 21 years in the Nav that when the ship pulled into port that I didn't go ashore! One of our guys drank ONE beer, ate no food and was seriously sick for a week.

Chester, PA
high population density but it's about as "WILD" and "PRIMAL" as it gets.
Wish I was able to spend some time in a backwater area, lucky bastids.
Enjoy the hunt while it lasts!

Kavik River Camp AK is the most remote "place" I've ever spent time. Can't say I'd call it "backwater". Sue, her sister, the guides and pilots coming and going, and the other hunters pretty much behaved just as you'd expect in that sort of place. We had a lot of fun there and Sue is a very gracious host.
I spent 10 days in Bora Bora as well and that's probably going to wind up the pinnacle of as cultured as I'll ever be.

Any place in the civilized world is better than the best festering craphole I've spent time in in SE Asia.

I'm in Leon Mexico right now. Parts look halfway habitable, but 90% looks like a total crap hole.
3 of us did eat at a very nice Italian place for $50 a few minutes ago though.

WOW - not even Sidi Yahia Morocco compares to the chitholes some of you guys have been in.
That was about as close as I got to 'primitive'.

I was stationed at Fort Riley, KS, where there are dozens of backwater towns scattered throughout the area. Some that come to mind are Alta Vista, Dwight, Industry, Navarre, St. George, Talmage, White City, Woodbine
For some reason, I remember that Detroit had a good bar.

A camp on the mid-SE coast of the Caspian Sea. Rethinking, 80 miles offshore Caspian Sea living "on" a man made island in a retired Russian cruise ship, the Schotov, first shot below. Winters sucked. Summers were somewhat incredible as the seals emerged. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa437/boxhead61/shkotov2.jpg) The island(s). Unless one was single it was a pretty lonely for a 28 day hitch. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa437/boxhead61/KashaganBig_zps47d004c6.jpg)
