Threads are like children...you can birth them but all bets are off once they come down that chute.

I'd LOVE to live on a ship.

This one I stayed on for a weekend is for sale:

With all your millions, this should be an easy catch for you!

You can always find a small island getaway!

Nah, more sand and sharks and too hard to build a wall around.

Had a chance to get a mooring off the club I used to belong to once. https://www.dsc.org.au/the-club/club-history/



Pretty hard to get even then, late 80's, just about impossible now I reckon.

Would have been nice but not practical at the time work wise. Sold my boat, second best day I'd had till then.

I'd happily live here after fixing the place up a bit

I cant think of a place I would move to.

Once you leave you have to re learn who the assholes are.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Assholes? You have neighbors???

 

[Wood Collector]

Where I would lone to move to there is limited phone reception so I wouldn't have to worry about the annoying phone calls or neighbours as it would be on a 7500acre property or I would look at buying 100 acres which would put me far enough away from any neighbours that might want to complain.

Fall out with your neighbours early, saves embarrassment and time all round.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Or even better - be friends.

 

[Steve Mack]

Looks just like the house I grew up in, except we had a verander. I'd go back, maybe.

Yea I dunno about that place... substitute "lake" for beach and waves "lapping" for crashing and I'll be in business!

 

[Tree09]

That's every day on a sailboat! And you can even do a lake if you prefer. Here's kinda what I'm thinking...

The boulder started my driveway.

Here's my shot of what could be the most famous, or most photographed tree in Canada. It's a spruce, and may be 100 years old. I spotted it, a few miles from Port Renfrew, when on my way to visit the San Juan Spruce. which, before it lost close to 100 feet of its top, was the world's number two or three largest Sitka Spruce. A few miles further is the Red Creek Fir, the largest known Douglas-fir. Ya'll have seen Reg's drone video....

my images from that 7/16 trip are here:

[Tree09]

Wait, so that's a big tree on a big rock then? Lol i really thought it was a smaller one, but was just in such a cool spot lol. There is nothing there for perspective...

 

[squisher]

No he's describing the other trees. That tree is a small tree on the end of a submerged log. And I'll take Rogers word for it that it's a spruce. Looks naggingingly like a little hemmer to me.

 

[gf beranek]

There's something about rolling grasslands and Oak habitat that has always struck my fancy.



Just before the fires broke out Terri and I took a ride to Stonyford and Antelope Valley, and along the way we took the Leesville Road.



They had just finished paving the Leesville road, first time ever, and we never seen another vehicle the whole time.



The geology of the area is facinating.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Damn - I wish we had cool foothills like that. I won't even wish for mountains...

 

[stig]

Seeing those really make me wish it was next year.
I'm renting a BMW S1000XR and going up California higway 4 for a couple of days from San Francisco to Calaveras county next year in May.
It winds through that kind of countryside.
Drove it in a topless Mustang last time I was over and really wished I'd been on a bike.
So next time I'll be on a 150 HP BMW.

That is my " Just drop me of Here" post.
