Heh -

Rex, you would have to meet me in Utica instead. I live very close to the NYS Thruway interchange Exit 32 - which is located in North Utica (where I live). However, as luck would have it, there is yet another way to get to Watertown/Fort Drum area from here and that way is to take Route 12 North. Finding Route 12 North is too easy to find since I travel on that road every day in both directions.

Let me know next time you're heading out this way and we'll set something up.

Vancouver, British Columbia. Also known as the best place in the world, the greenest city in the world and whatever the local politicians named us

If you don't know where it is...Google is your friend

San Joaquin Valley California. Two hours from the Coast, two hours from the High Sierras, five hours from Palm Springs.

ah, I see you,,,,,,,some of  Anne's kids were born in Rome,,,,,we just drive east a bit more instead of taking 81 up, catch a meal with you, and drive up hwy 12

we'll pm and email, etc, before our next trip up that way.

I'm located a bit northeast of Louisville, KY.   Been here for 12 years.  Prior to that, lived in a suburb southwest of Philadelphia, PA.  Also have family that live very close to Kings Island in Cincinnati, so a quick salute to FSM members in each of those regions.

Woody, I've only lived in Mason for a couple years. But, I really like the area. I have no plans in moving anytime soon. I'm originally from Sterling Heights, Michigan. When the Automotive industry dried up, I ended up in Dubuque, Iowa for a year, then Port St. Lucie, Florida for another two years. 

I'm so close to Kings Island, I get to see the fireworks every night during the summer! 

a bit south of L.A. along the coast...

On the southern shore of one of the best cities in North America : Montreal, Quebec, Canada ! 

I see one cheese head has come forward . I 'm located  in Waukesha  Wisconsin . That's west of Milwaukee .

I live in Laconia, NH which is in the central part of the state. The nearest hobby shop is 30 miles away and has a very limited supply. Its main business is radio controlled cars. This is why I have to buy most of my kits and supplies via on line shopping.

Bish, do you know where Crawley is? The company I work for is based there - Elekta, Inc. I've been there a few times in the past few years. Gatwick Airport is on the outskirts of Crawley, along with Virgin's world-wide headquarters.

Elizabethtown, Kentucky, about 15 minutes south of the former Armor School at Fort Knox and about a half hour south of Louisville, Kentucky.

Elizabethtown is a pretty city. I used to go there quite a bit when I lived in Indy. The main hospital had one of the cancer treatment units that I work on. There was a very nice hobby shop there (the only one, I think) that I can't remember the name of. Is it still there?

I live in Indian Trail, North Carolina, which is about 15 miles south-east of downtown Charlotte, just off Highway 74 (Independence Boulevard), in Union County. We're about 7 miles west of Monroe, NC. Beautiful little town that has grown way too fast for it's roads. All 2-lane roads feeding a community that was around 2500 population 10 years ago, and has swelled to over 37,000 now, thanks to the major banks moving their headquarters to Charlotte. Needless to say, traffic congestion is a major headache.... Other than that, a great place to live.

Heh - moves  away from earthquakes and resides in Tornado Alley. Or something like that.  :))

Well  the pay is good and i need OJT before i can start moving my way back to the Inland Northwest, if the tornados don't get me tthe summer heat will. It ain't exactly hell .... but i can smell it from here. PS the ground doesn't shake much up there atleast on my side of the state, but when it desides to snowit gets with the program.

I live in Honolulu, Hawaii.  I am surrounded by ocean, but haven't been to the beach in 15 years or so.  (Anyone remember that funny photo of how to spot a modeler based on their tan lines?)

BTW, after chatting with an older gent while on vacation in England, I would like to quell the rumor that Hawaii is overrun by drug money and machine guns.  I think he confused reality with the TV show "Hawaii 5-O".  Oh, and we refer to flip-flops as"rubbah slippahs" here.  And the local dialect is not "the bird", it's pidgin.  No one EVER said they "speak da bird".  And dat, braddahs, is your Hawaiian lesson fo today!

I'm just one of those " Howlie " fans of the original series.

I kinda presume tv shows do not necessarily reflect reality.

I keep intending to visit the islands but never seem to have both time and money simultaneously.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Hee hee!

I used to watch the original series too when I was a kid.  The only story I remember was the one where a guy gets a cone shell for a present, and gets stung by it and dies.  It stuck in my mind because I had a shell collection that had one of those cone shells.  When I looked it up at the library (see how long ago that was) I was surprised to find out that the snail's sting was indeed deadly.  And I have seen live specimens when I used to go scuba diving.

Oh, and the main police station did not look like the one depicted in the show.  I think they used a mainland locale (LA?).  The new show uses Iolani Palace, not the actual less photogenic station which is only a couple of blocks away.

I am surprised to hear the new show used the Iolani Palace.

I somehow never watched the new series.

The original series used the palace as the setting exterior but , IIRC, filmed the series inside sets constructed in warehouses.

I think my favorite episode was with Hume Cronyn

Manchester, NH

In the Minneapolis- St Paul area.  Won't bother with longitude, but only a few miles from 45th parallel.  That was important because the company I worked for was big in Inertial Navigation systems.  They built a lab right exactly on the parallel (it ran through the company property) and built in a star port pointing up at North Star.  Spent some effort because it reduced the math a bit when aligning test systems and doing data analysis.

Would that be Sperry, Don?

I am in Lincoln, Nebraska, which is in the southeast part of the state. If you are traveling through Nebraska on I-80 the Strategic Air and Space Museum is located between Lincoln and Omaha about a 15 minute drive from the interstate. The static displays include a SR-71, U-2 and B-36 among others.

DP77, what would you like from a Washington modeler, like i posted earlier i'm from there and i still have contacts, plan on getting back there too.

Oh, I was just visiting and looking for a fellow modeler to go have a beer with. Nothing special. I ended up being so busy with family I probably couldn't have squeezed it in anyway. Such is life.
