New guy on the block

McHenry County or Lake County? Either way, that's a stone's throw from ggiese.

Both McHenry and Kane counties. A bit west of me, but a wee bit more than a stones throw.

You have to forgive us New Englanders, George. We can visit six states in one day.

LOL - but at least it's not a boring trip like the flatlands!

The strangest experience I'd ever had on a drive was navigating a map of Delaware. I assumed it was the same scale as an Illinois map and plotted our course - assuming it would take between 1 1/2 hours. Was shocked when we got there in 20 minutes...

Hey Doc,

A guy I went to high school with moved up to VT a long time ago. I saw his brother last week and I ask him where Walt moved to. He told me "Victory, VT" I looked it up and sure enough, Northeast Kingdom, LMAO! As a matter of fact, it's the smallest town that actually has it's own government in the NE Kingdom and the population went down in 2010 to 62 from a whopping 90 in 2000. Walt is big into 4 wheelin' and snowmobiling so Essex County must be like heaven on earth for him.

He made the newspaper last winter.

Victory is where god lives. I plan on having my ashes spread in the headwaters of the Moose River at Damon's crossing at the South end of the Bog. I grew up on that river, just a little further down. Victory, and it's neighboring town, Granby, were the last towns in the US to get electricity in the mid '60's, so I'm told.

Obviously none of you have driven through Kansas. But, why would you.

Yeah, I visited four last Saturday, CT, MA, VT & NH in less than two hours.
