    I've been raised in WI since 3 years old, and glad to see so many different people involved with this network. Although, I envy those in a warmer climate as it's 19 degrees here right now, and I have my fireplace burning.

    location,location,loacation
    I am in a small community in Western Washington. We are 40 miles due West of Olympia, the capitol of Washington, and 40 Miles due East of the Pacific Ocean. Our area is at the base of a Rain Forest, but we actually get more rain then the Rain Forest does. We have beautiful green trees and grasses all year around since the temperatures are usually mild. The history of our town and the surrounding towns in Grays Harbor was based on logging and fishing, which has died out.

    I live in Montesano, WA

    Cold here too!
    I spent 6 weeks in Iola, WI a few years ago and almost bought a house to move there. My DH's job asked him to stay in CO, so I came back.

    And it's been below zero the past couple of mornings here in CO. Today it's 17, so I feel like we are in a heat wave! But tonight it's supposed to drop again for the next seven days, high's of about 20 during the heat of the day! Did I mention that I hate winter?

    Bumped for our new members
    Enjoy and join in!

    Thanks
    Thanks Diane for continuing to involve the newbys. It is good to have all this info in one thread.
    I am from Cumberland Gap, TN. where Daniel Boone forged his way West through the Cumberland Mtns. Also where Confederate and Union soldiers met. There is a reinactment each summer. I am only minutes away from where corners of TN, KY, and VA all meet. So you can stand in all 3 states at once. We live in a beautiful area of the country with mountains all around and this morning have 1-2 inches of snow on the ground and a warm fire in the stove. It is our first snow of the year.

    Zanesville Ohio. I live
    Zanesville Ohio. I live outside of town on the old national trail. Zane Grey was from Zanesville, hence the name. Famous for the Y bridge that is downtown also. Our area is mostly rural, the towns small, very little industry or work available for that matter. The state capital is about an hour away.

    Dillon Falls
    When I was a child, my family lived for a time in Dillon Falls, and my father worked in Zanesville as a radio newsman. Probably around 1946. We used an outhouse and had an icebox. Seems like another world. It was beautiful in the winter.

    small world...
    My parents lived in Dillon Hills just above the state park before I was born - just about 5 minutes down the road from your old home. It really is a beautiful area. It's still very rural. When was the last time you were there, Greg? My parents are still in Newark and I drive through Zanesville and Dillon every time I go home :-)

    last time in Dillon Falls
    I never went back, so 1946 was the last.
