It's just south of State College.

Mostly Browns. It's all private except for a small section that Penn State owns. Unless you own property or are a member on one of the clubs the only other way to get on is an outfitter so its pretty exclusive which means 5 pounders all over the place.


You should really check it out.

Nice. I'll have to hit up my buddies in So. PA and see if we can arrange a trip next year.

Sounds like a creek I lived near in the Shenandoah Valley, VA. Mossy Creek. Your description fits Mossy perfectly. Amazing fishery.

Atlanta:

Best: Aquarium in the United States. They have Whale sharks and everything. It's great. Weather: It gets pretty hot/humid but we get 4 distinct seasons. Fall in Georgia is awesome. We get awesome 60-75 degree weather for a good 2 months and the state is really pretty outside of the main city. Boasts some of the countries better musicians/rappers

Worst: Falcons.Thrashers.Hawks. lol. On a serious note, traffic in Atlanta is terrible. It's gotta be among one of the worst cities in the country for traffic. It's not uncommon to have a 2 hour ride home, when you live 20 minutes from the city. Also boasts plenty of the countries worst rappers.

Best: there are so many things to list...but I will just name a few..Right next to the black forest if you have been there you will know what I mean...I have an ideal location I can have dinner in france go dancing in spain and have a guinness in dublin, Ireland... and be back home in plenty of time for a good night rest all in one day if I take a plane... I can do the same if I head the other direction and have dinner in rome, dance in greece have the original budweiser in Chech. A little longer trip but still doable is a norther excursion to fish in norway, kiss some swedish twins and go to amsterrdam or denmark for some night life before heading back home...

worst: and by far a nightmare for me is German bureaucracy..you need a paper for everything and they always cost money and time 2 things I don't have an abundance of.

I live in a rural area of Oklahoma....

The Best:

1. I have lots of elbow room and few neighbors that aren't family.

2. The cost of living is very cheap compared to the rest of the country.

3. There are 4 distinct seasons here .... and you are always ready for the next one to get here.

4. I live within 3 hours of Dallas and 3 hours of three major airports .... Dallas, Oklahoma City and Tulsa. I can get away from it all at home or get to anywhere in the country within just a few hours.

5. The cost of land is relatively cheap, and I own a few hundred acres of prime hunting and fishing land. Its a hunter and fisherman's paradise.

6. Oklahoma has an abundance of Lakes, which are very diverse.

7. Lines for just about anything and everything are essentially nonexistant.

8. Its a great place to raise a family and family values are important here.

9. Serious, violent crime is very rare throughout most of Oklahoma.

The bad:

1. This is one of the poorest areas of the country. If I were living anywhere else (including one of the larger cities in Oklahoma) I could easily double my income.

2. Drugs .... Oklahoma has a very high rate of meth use. One of the highest in the country. Especially southeast Oklahoma.

3. Sometimes I wonder if the movie "Deliverance" was filmed here. The banjo music gets louder and clearer the farther south and east you drive in Oklahoma. LOL

4. People don't set their goals very high. Mediocre is plenty good enough for most of the population here.

5. Everyone wants something for nothing.

6. Minor, bull**** crime is pretty common here. I'll bet 50% of the population have actually been arrested for something stupid.

7. No one has insurance on their vehicles, even though the law requires it. So if you are driving here, you better carry Uninsured Motorists coverage on your policy. LOL

**** that.

I vow to never live in such a place. Basically adding additional hours to the work day. I won't do it.

Yep and it's a huge commuter city. Everybody lives outside the city in the suburbs and travels to work. Terrible traffic is just a part of life for most here.
