I like that one!!

Only one I can add is when I was in Niger, West Africa - up on the edge of the Sahara. There was a town there named 'AHOLE' ...

Harv,

We've been through that area a bunch of times. In fact, a woman that I've worked with for a couple years has a cabin up past Volcano a little ways. She & her husband rent a place down in Corolitos, but they bought the place up in the hills.

Friends of ours have lived in Jackson for a number of years. We always tried to stay at their place when we went up to Kirkwood for X-country skiing. They swore the best melons on the planet can be gotten in Ione.

Rat -

If you rode your bike on Shake Ridge Road, you went right past our house. In fact, the property has over a quarter-mile of frontage on Shake Ridge.

And GlueGuy, same to you. If you actually hit the town of Volcano, you may well have zipped right by the home of my tractor. Who knows? I may have been there myself.

Our family has a cabin at Lake Kirkwood. Buried in 30 feet of snow during the winter, but a beautiful spot during the summer.

If either one of you guys, or RobertN, for that matter, ever heads up that way again, let me know in advance and maybe we can hook up. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

Sounds like a deal Harv. I have always liked that area. It is to me, California. I love the Quercus Lobata that dominate the landscape, the rolling hills and dry grass of summer. From where I live, I look right towards the town of Cool. I'm but a couple miles from the Auburn Dam overlook. The drive to 50 from here on Highway 49 is a great drive, a bit winding, going by Coloma and Lotus on the way to Placerville. Rat...

Harv,

I can hear your mind thinking. You guys stop on by and why don't you bring your tractors. I have this little culvert project that I thought we could spend a little quality time on./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Now Mark... you could have gone all day without reminding me of that /w3tcompact/icons/mad.gif. Around here we just try to think of Bill as a "bad memory" /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif.
