Re: Yellowstone National Park

October 6, 2009

I totally agree that living somewhere you like is way better than dpoing the Tourist thing...there are lots of places I've visited that I'd dearly love to spend a whole year in the get a proper 'feel' for the place, it's people/animals/ plant life etc.

Then of course I also want all that time BACK when I get home so I don't miss out on anything here as well!

That's why Armchair Travel has its compensations!

Cheers,

mmmm...I get to spend a month down in cool Tassie every Summer..apart from the thrill of getting to stay with my daughter & grand-daughter I DO love the break from the Heat & Humidity of Northern NSW.

I also like to get down there to experience a dollop of their Winter Chill..I wish it was as simple as walking through a Magic Time Door (as in the Narnia Stories)

Where is the weather the mildest & least extreme in the USA...am I right in thinking it would be either oregon/Washington State in the West or the North Eastern States on the other side?????

Here's a beaudie for ya..Woolgoolga....a small beach town just south of my hometown of Grafton. (Grafton is famed for its Jacaranda Trees & it's Big River where I sailed as a kid)

It's a favourite spot to stop on our way to Sydney 'cos there is a long established Sikh community there with great Indian Tukka on offer.

Of course Byron Bay ,where my father grew up, is now a renowned Backpacker Destination/ Smart Set Celeb Destination. There is quite a large American ex-pat population here as well. Business folk who work via the Internet & onl;y travel back to the States occasionally. Freelance Journalists are the other group who can live here....check out why they love it so much.

Have Fun,

There is a "Dollywood" in Tennessee - an amusement park. No Dollyxxxx in NC, that I know of. But then, what do I know?

Bois is the French word for Wood....I think it may've come from Trappers of French Origin that were in the area. It had Woody River Banks I understand.

I do relate strongly to place Names.. I was pouring over the Map of the NW & saw a place called Walla Walla..strangely there is also a Walla Walla in NSW down near the n Border. It's from a Aborigianl word fro Rocky ground while the US Walla Walla comes from a NAtive Indian word. for the tribe that lived there or summat else I forget now....ODD that!

I also read that WAYNESVILLE has connected up with HAZELWOOD.. I guess I could settle in the latter!

There is a 'Dolly's ville' too..Dollywood. ..in Tennessee naturally! Not that I'd want to live in a Theme Park no matter how much I like Ms Parton's Toons!

HA!

Thia IS fun, I agree

Cheers,
