When I signed up on this forum I noticed that hardly anybody tells where they live. Now I wonder why. Are some ashamed of their town? Do some really not know?

Me, I reside in Billings, MT and am not ashamed of that fact. The only bad thing is that we are overran with liberals but I ain't gonna join them.

So, where ya from?

Colorado Springs, CO just as the profile says.

I think my profile comes pretty close....with the pictures I post you could probably triangulate my house.

Some do and some don't but it would make life simpler here if we all did. At least give a general location.

It would certainly help out in the "Classified" section.

Jeffersonville, Indiana, right across the river from Louisville, KY.
That would be southern Indiana.

My handle is "okie"...grin

Bridge City, Texas. (At least that's where my waterlogged house is!)

I live in Rhode Island.



Oh, and my name is Bob.





(or not)

My signature says it.

Not where I would prefer to be, but where I'm currently at right now

Ume� (Northern Sweden) as my profile indicates.



I see many list their location as something like "Over the rainbow" -- but then ask some question that you would need to know their location in order to help them. I put my location in my profile so I do not have to remember...

John

I put my location up so I am real easy to find.

NW Wisconsin, Bayfield County....For now...

Eastern Limestone County in North Alabama.

My town is so small that if I listed it the other guy would know it was me.

I just changed my profile from UpState NY to Central NY.

Guess I can change it to just Syracuse

I live just outside of Phoenix, in a little place called Maricopa. Used to just be a dusty stage stop, now its dairy farms, feed lots, subdivisions and the Railroad. I love it here, though its been nationally called the poster child of housing excess.

Most of the folks are nice, and hard working. I have a good home, and I can drive about five minutes and shoot at my own little range against a mountain, hunt dove every morning in season within walking distance, find the occasional group of ducks on the cattle tanks in the desert to hunt up. Plus I get get some damned nice sunsets.

It ain't too bad.

Third igloo on the left.

Shoot, you probably live right off Wasilla Lake.

Green Valley,Az about 40+ miles north of Nogales on the Mexican border. It's a retirement community and I AM retired in addition to just being plain old tired.

Sometimes wish it was still several miles of dirt road to the house, but divorce fixed that, so I am now domesticated/tamed and live a small town. But it is OK as the cute, blue eyed, long haired, blond girl lives with me. Her and three dogs, but they stay outside.

NO = New Orleans


does that help?

I hope you let her in for meals. (had to hurry to beat Les on that one)

As mine says, down river Michigan about 13 mile down the river from Hell, I mean Detroit!
John

Dammit, I missed one.

At night too. Oh, and if it gets real cold.

New California or Sandpoint Idaho. You choose

Sometimes Chateauguay, Quebec, Canada and sometimes Fort Rucker, Alabama Home of Army Aviation ! Two extremes FREEZE your butt off, or MELT your butt off

Lynn

And I am 2 hours north of Steve

They still have that green peace bunny/tree huggin artistic little mall there by the lake? Been awhile since I was there.

I live as far from any city as I could get. And I like it. The next closest town is a former Air Force town that has all but died since the closing of the radar base many years ago. Nobody locks their doors or vehicles, your kids can play in the streets, the school is conservative, and the hunting is GOOD.

Medicine Lake, Montana... or thereabouts

There are a lot of places I'd rather be (Idaho and Montana), but until I retire in 2 years, I'll be in Northern Virginia (about 15 miles from Washington DC). Not a bad place to live with tons of museums and cultural activities.

Adair County, Missouri on 43 acres of pure heaven, with my wonderful wife and two German Shepherds. Can't see ANY neighbors. Can shoot deer or squirrels out any window of the house. Can sit on the deck right outside our bedroom and cast into my pond and drag out bass and bluegill. Good turkey hunting just over the ridge east or west of the house. And if we get bored here, there's 320 more acres of family farm just down the road a piece, also with excellent hunting.

OK, I give - "Her and three dogs, but they stay outside." Is it her 3 dogs or the blond and her 3 dogs that stay outside?

I'm a refugee from New Jersey living in Philadelphia, PA.

I'm a North-Central PA boy at heart.

Aqualung

On the edge between heaven (further north) and hell (further south ) Two hours north of Minnesota. Four hours south of Pickle Lake.

Probably helps y'all immensely.

You are cruel, making your girl stay outside.

Everything is in my profile.

shootist,

I knows where that is !!!! Can't fool me, I speak and think Canajun !

Lynn

Come on you guys, I said she gets to come in at night or if it gets too cold.
Gosh, watdayawant? See what loven' girls will do to a guy? Gets ya all mushie, kind hearted, sitting down to pee at night and stuff.

Got it in the profile. Lubbock, Texas. Home of the Texas Tech Red Raiders, Buddy Holly, miles of cotton, dirt, boll weevils (mostly gone now), wind, beautiful sunsets, and where a 4 hour trip is considered a short drive.

This thread is very enlightening. I was under the impression that most folks here lived in a state of constant anger, denial or confusion.

I'm right here.





BMT

Im originally from Farmville VA. As far as Northern VA, I think screw it. I delivered furniture up there for a couple of years for Greenfront. It sucked. Im happy in northern Idaho

Anywhere near QuailCreek?
My father in law is the Project Manager of there.

Are you talking about Coldwater Creek?? If So it moved across the street a year or 2 ago.

I have homes in both Kingsport, TN and Graysontown , VA but spend the majority of time in TN

Long time since i was at Fort Benning . The last time i was in jump school 1971

Idaho Elk Hunter Do you enjoy blue backs with some sharp cheese

Mine fairly well tells were I domicile. Cheers NC

austin texas. summer's a comin'. gonna get hot.

I live in the good part of NJ,NW of Morristown,about 1/2 mile as the crow flies from Picatinny Arsenal.

semi rural,on a little 10 acre pond called Lake Telemark

Ft Benning... So is Columbus still full of all those wonderful little "massage" parlors? Buddy went in for a massage at one of em' before heading to Italy after jump school. I got the impression that they were worth every penny. Too bad I didn't have any pennies at the time.

If you look under the beautiful, waving Bonnie Blue Flag, you will see my place of residence.

Well, I have learned that in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.

Currently above ground in Newport Maine...............

State of confusion works for me!

You suck!







Not really. It's good to see someone content with their home. I love Texas, but everything has a rectum. Texas's rectum is where I live!

texas reviera corpus christi tx

When i was in jump school at Benning. I was in Columbus at a pool hall and some dude was arguing with this girl telling her she had little boobs and by the way they were fairly big . She came over to me and jerked that top off and stuck them in my face and said do you think they are small . I told her, no they look big enough to me.

Gotta love the towns around military bases. Entertainment abounds!

God i miss those days , Getting old sucks

In the woods (house at the top of the meadow)

About 80 miles NW of this.


About 52 miles E of this.


40 miles or so SW of this.


This is my neighbor.


...and it's in the profile.

Asa teenager back in the 70's i spent lots of time in the desert around Maricopa. Doves in the faqll and rabbitts all winter long ( a few quaile too). LOTS of FUN in those days !

Since 1982 I have been in lovely Rochester NY. Good Whitetail hunting and great fishing but my the winters get cold for a desert boy like me !!

Stevens Point, WI. in the central part of the state. Home of "Point Beer".

Im pretty sure my sign on has Birmingham, Alabama on it....cant you hear my southun accent thru the computer???? LOL...I PROMISE the ones of you I have talked to on the phone could pick my voice out of a crowd of 5 thousand. I will be the one talking MUCH slower than everyone else.

beautiful country, good hunting, reasonable guns laws ( i.e., next to none ), good wages. But, I'd still like to move to Montana.

BTW, Billings is a nice town.

Near Hayden, Idaho up in the panhandle 90 miles from the Canadian line.

Sorry, been a few years, I have forgotten the name. I did enjoy walking through there looking at the hand made crafts. Some were very talented. Just Subaru driverish kinda folks.

Columbus, Montana just as it states in my profile. About 35 miles west of Bigbuck215's home town of Billings . About anything that you might want to hunt within 30 minutes my door step. Not another place I would rather be.

They took my cardboard box so I had to move into the dumpster next door.

Germany - north east of Berlin. 20 Miles till Poland.

Lots of pigs and deer. Hunting starts in my backyard. Pigs sometime are that dumb.

I'm in Lacey. Lacey was a suburb of Olympia but the population of Lacey is almost as large as Olympia now.

I'm down the road 20 miles from Jamie.

Not exactly Central Washington, but close to it.



When you are looking from where this was taken you are near our back yard.

I'm down the same road about 40 miles south of Waders.

Like my profile says, I live very near the southern terminus of the Preemption Line. That is all that Janet Napolitano needs to know.

Yeah!--so keep quiet!!!





Casey

Don't tell Isaac that--it seems he's struggling enough as it is.......

Olive Branch, MS. It's borders on the state line with east Memphis,TN.

Originally about an inch left of the first "A" in Cascade Mountain Range in Idrad's picture. That brown spot just left of the first "A" is what's left of Mt. Saint Helens. That or in the Northern end of the county, where Bulletbutt resides.

Now currently in Middle Tn. close to two whiskey distillery's. Many here have probably sampled the product from them both at least once, others manytimes.

Montana.
'bout says it all!

By tomorrow evening I'll be back here, in SW Central Pennsylvania.

Cranbrook, East Kootenays of British Columbia

In front of a Bridgeport mill.

Close enough to Yellowstone to hear the boom before it kills me.

Cheyenne, Wyoming.

Fellow Campfire Folk;
If I can borrow Mr. Idared's map -thank you kindly sir, and you follow the brown up just across the medicine line into Canada you will find us. We're about a half hour or so north of the Oroville, WA. crossing.

We live up the hill aways from the 3rd little town you pass through following Highway 97 north. It's called Okanagan Falls, but all 4 dozen of us locals just call it OK Falls.

Thanks to all who responded.

Regards,
Dwayne

I'm in the middle of nowhere FBKS Alaska, not so proud of my little town, it used to have character (albeit shady) now we seem to be rushing headlong into PROGRESS.

this may have been THE most wonderful spot on earth in the late 60's, turned into a wild west boom town in the 70's, 80's thinned out the pimps and hookers, (glad the former is gone, miss the latter, grin) and alas the 90's and 00 see us rushing headlong into becoming mini Anchorage (blecch)

no dis intended to Anchorage, as small cities go it's great, but we used to be a small town with local grocers and shops, now we're box store and chain heaven like every other freakin place in the USA.


am thinking Nenana might be a good retirement spot or a bit out of town.

On some of the only RT 66 left, Kingman,Arizona.

Seriously, I live in the 209 area code of CA. Say what you want about CA, but it DOES have the best weather you will EVER see in the entire USA. Pretty cool living in an area code that's also a shotgun primer.

Location is in my avatar. 9+ months a year. Stateside, Maconga.

Southwest VA, right up 81 from Bea.

Upper bowl ...

Must have missed you when I was there!

In the doghouse most of the time

Where Del Shannon grew up.

Just where it say over there on the left. About three mile above the southern county line.

BCR

Where Billy the Kid started his life of crime...

Did you live in the former DDR, also known as East Germany?

I was in the US Army in Berlin in the early 1970's. We weren't allowed out of the city very much.

My home in the hills...



I live in "The Other California"
Few neighbors, open spaces, lots of wildlife.
I awake most mornings to the honking of Canada geese.
Looking out the windows, I see only one neighbor.
I get to play cowboy on the adjoining ranches.
My boy spent the weekend branding, de horning & castrating cattle.

My backyard archery range...



Blacktail deer, turkeys & wood ducks in my yard (and the occasional mountain lion!).

My front porch....



Great fishing, good wages.
Fabulous weather.

A bag linit of two bucks a year and we hunt deer three months a year. I get to hunt thousands of acres of private ground just five minutes from my home...



Not all of California is the Hell Hole that most portray it as and not everyone that lives here is a radical gungrabbing treehugger.

Very Nice! I could get used to that.
I've noticed that NC prperty is reasonable per acre, and somewhat remote. I guess the only thing that keeps many people from moving to NC are the policies of the govt in Sacramento, and the freak show on the coast. Too bad you can't become the 51st state.

Thats some impressive digs, looks like you get a lot of visitors.

Thank you.
There's lots of good folks here at the fire.
Lot's of them get the wrong impression of California from what they read or hear from others.
California is a huge state encompassing just about every type of ecosystem, from 14,500 foot mount Whitney to desert to chaparral scrub to the Pacific, you just can't see it all.
Yes, there are lots of people here that don't think like me & there is a lot of places in this state that simply suck.
I stay away from those places, they drive me nuts.
Seems I'm always on the defensive & appologize for that.
I've had a good life here in Northern California, It ain't the best place on Earth, but I have a pretty good thing going.

Northern cali I can live with. I like the place, to bad you have that southern part attached. Cant you folks do something about that?? J/K I know you are dealt the hand you got.

I'm from real close to alaska, I can sometimes smell it. Yup, I live in anchorage.

25 Miles north of Bass Pro corporate headquarters,Springfield, Mo

Mostly in my truck.

oldtimer you in Bolivar or Buffalo?


25 miles north of Spgfd. on 65 or 13?

Great pics Salmonella. Good to know there's some Red-Blooded Americans in your state still. Some pretty country there.

I call Lone Pine, CA my home right now.
Town is at the bottem of the valley on the left just out of view.

About 35 miles east of Toronto and just slightly northwest of Olcutt, NY (on the north side of Lake Ontario).

Great shooting club 11 miles from home, deer hunting 12 miles away, walleye, crappy and musky fishing 15 miles north and about 60-65 miles from the Kawartha Lakes.

Near the eastern end of the Golden Horseshoe but still way too built up.

Bigbuck215,

To answer the thread question, I live in a constant state of expectation.


See profile for more info.

I have been residing in southern Alberta for the past 4 1/2 years and also have a place in north Idaho. This summer we will move from Alberta and land in the Texas Hill Country. So it will remain Idaho and Texas for good. Here's a couple shots from my back deck in Idaho.





And a couple 40 minutes or so from my place in Alberta.

1akhunter: Actually 25 miles north east on of corp headquarters. Marshfield on I-44. Sounds like you know the area. Are you a transplant to Alaska or just good with geography. GW.

SE Utah.....beauty abounds around every corner...

I grew up in the Harz Mountains just outside the DDR - been in this area since 1999. Just outside Berlin.

Alpinecrick,

what is Isaac struggling with so hard?
Not enough pigs in his back yard?

I own a house and wife in Ankeny Iowa but I'm currently working in Afghanistan. Believe it our not it's a pretty place with lots of potential. kwg

In the Colorado Plains.
