Day 17 - Top Five Favorite Things To Do Where You Live





In no order.

5.  FISHING!! YEP....You've seen the pictures already in previous posts.  I love to go out to secluded lakes with my close friends and fish for HOURS on end.  Typically its an 8 hour trip, and it always seems to end too soon.   When I lived in Colorado, I was really missing open waters.  Then I realized that even if your city has water around it, there will be no fishing without a ton of people around.  What fun is that?!
        Where I live, IF I see someone else..IF....we make a point to talk with them and be friendly.  HEck, I've even coached folks about best spots to fish!

this is my fav spot in the whole world..my fishing spot


yeah, it bends around on the right and opens up to a large body of water with an awesome island in the middle.

4.  Shooting my guns.  Yep.  I dont hunt *cause I'm a card-carrying bunny-hugger*  but I love marksmanship.   Don't tell my mom but Ive walked the couple hundred yards into her back woods and held target practice.   Yep....no gun range needed, and certainly no 'pay by the half hour' sort of situations.  Just some empty cans and a tree to hang em on!   Yep...MANTASTIC!


3.  being able to estimate travel times by MILEAGe and not traffic.  Yep....If I get stuck at a light twice, I am like WHAT'S GOING ON HERE!?  Yeah, it doesn't happen.  If I see more than 5 cars stopped at a light, it's like CMON, is this a parade!?! LOL...but it's true.    The stress of traffic is KILLER and I know people on blood pressure meds in their twenties...it's not for me

2.  Small town christmas lights and shopping.   Yep..makes me feel like I was in the 50's or something.  I feel like that was a good time for America.  THe way my town decorates the trees and hangs ornaments from the telephone polls is awesome.

1.  Umm..I dunno...walk my dog around my small town.....have a fire in my backyard, hang at my recording studio in the middle of nowhere...Grow a beard, trim it into funny looks, dress up my dog, take my dog swimming at my aunt's private beach...Lots of stuff!!! 

did I mention hanging out at a secluded place where there's a series of awesome waterfalls spilling into warm pools?  Yeah..that's cool too

Sam loves to come to the falls with us!!  

Oh and there are mountains nearby that we climb..NBD


when I was young all I wanted to do was leave this 'lame' place.  After living in York PA, Providence RI, Colorado Springs, CO and all around London....I have come to truly appreciate this little 'armpit' of america.  TO me...it' s a secluded paradise (of sorts)

This is the 'dress up the dog' portion of our show
