Jarbidge NV back in the early 70's. A neat place but primitive a hell back then. Was there a couple of years ago, it must have improved. Places sure change. Was in Silver City Idaho 30 some years ago. only people we saw was a couple of guys we talked to that were living there. Was there again a few years ago and the place was completely over ran with hundreds of tourists, ATV's, 4x4's etc. the dust was so terrible we turned around and left.

That's funny. I have family in a mausoleum there. When my son & I were driving back from New Orleans I wanted to stop and pay our respects. One of my son's co-workers told me there is nothing in Monroe. What he failed to mention is that there is pretty much nothing between Baton Rouge and Monroe. I thought I lived in about the most backwater place in the world. The population of our County hasn't changed since the Civil War. Delta Airline started in Monroe, LA... DF

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. Same for me, Atyrau onshore and when I was offshore it was the Parker rig that was drilling the first wildcat hole into the formation.

Jarbridge is cool little whistle stop.

I thought it was Naknek Ak, until an ex-girlfriend from Montana walked through the door at the Fisherman's Bar.

Borneo, in a grass thatched hut dining with the village Chieftain and his harem of at least a dozen 'Big Lovelies" That whole place smelled like piss and blood, not to mention that barrel of fermenting rice beer in the corner.

Douglasville, Texas in the northeast corner of the state. I swear you can hear banjos playing in that part of Texas. Hunted there once as a kid with some friends of my father. There was an old man who did nothing but drink moonshine the entire weekend. He'd wake up long enough to slug a few down and then back out he would go. I was about 13 I guess. Some older boys in camp, probably 18-20 tried to take me into town to have some "fun" with the local girls. I never will forget my dad dragging me out of the back of that pickup by my coat collar as the pickup took off for town. Dammit I miss those days!

How about needing tree houses or a boat to sleep on because of tigers, 70's era Java. There's a noise that makes you think about leaving the tree house to pee at night.

.Alaska has some remote and clannish villages that qualify. My wife is some where around a 1/4 to 1/2 Athabascan Indian and Yupik Eskimo, depending on what elder you talk to. She was born in Tanana and raised in a place called Nulato for awhile. Her Dad was a U.S. Marshall on a big stretch of the Yukon River during Alaska's Territorial Days. In 2007 we launched our boat from the Yukon River Bridge and by the time we came back with a big moose we has been gone a little over 3 weeks and had covered a little over 1,000 miles between the Yukon and Koyukuk Rivers. Saw plenty of "back woods" places.
In 2015 after I retired I fired up the Duramax and hooked on to the 36' Toy Hauler and me, the wife and Otto the Mini Schnauzer left Alaska and took a 22 state road trip that lasted about 3 months. Hit most of the Western states and tried to camp in remote places and miss the big cities. Saw lots of beautiful country for sure.
Coming up from Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma and parts of Missouri were an eye opener for me. So many of the little towns looked economically depressed, full of trash and poorly kept. They looked best in my rear view mirror and I am fine never returning. I am sure plenty of fine folks lived in those places and it all depends on what you are used to. Made me think my little hick town in Alaska was more then I thought it was. But, I have been in Alaska for 53 years and it is really all I know.
