I live in South-East Idaho, now. There are some towns that are pretty, because they've planted lots of trees . But there's some fascinating landscape--open lava fields, of the seeping sort, not the explosive volcanic sort. More like what you'd get in Hawaii. But if you go up into the mountains to look at the scenery, you're likely to find that it's federal range land being grazed by cattle. Watch your step! .
Until recently I lived in Moscow, Idaho, which is up north but milder climate and more wet. Beautiful country, plus Moscow has a lot of organic farmers and recyclers (including a guy who made journals with recycled large floppies for covers).
I've also lived in Utah, Argentina, Miami FL, and Minneapolis MN

The only other place I've lived was Poughkeepsie, NY---from birth to being dragged down here. If I'd'a had my druthers, I'd'a stayed.

Gee Jo'l day, you're right in the heart of Appaloosa country. The birthplace of the breed is the Wallowa Valley... home of the Nez Perce. Moscow, ID is the home of the Appaloosa Horse Club. I'd love to visit that whole area just once. My Foundation Appaloosa mare traces back to that area over 20 times in her extended pedigree.

Santa Clarita, California. I'm five minutes away from Six Flags Magic Mountain (if anybody knows where that is). I'm also like 30 minutes from Los Angeles.

The Mom in me wants to say to those of you who are underage, You should check with your parents before posting your locations. Okay, so now that I got that out of my system... I live in Ogden, Utah. Ogden is a weird town. Within ten miles you can find a jail,a homeless shelter, hiking trails, million dollar houses, One hundred year old houses,and the most beautiful mountains in America.

Currently I'm "between homes" but that should change Tuesday. Location wise I'm in Wisconsin, US but I only just moved here a few months ago from Illinois.

Grant John, I've never been there, but my kids all sing Waltzin' Matilda like natives. It's one of our favorites.

The sun is shining. That means I have been mysteriously teleported from Oregon. Still looks like Oregon but that ball of fire up in the sky and the lack of clouds means it can't be. The temperature is even in the high 70s!

I'm in Northwest Georgia, US. Originally from Florida, which I hate. Lived in Indiana and Kentucky for a while. Wishing with all my being I lived somewhere cold and caked in snow.

Shimiqua, Lived in Sunset most of my life. We moved from Roy about 5 years ago. Both hubby and I went to Clearfield High. Nice to 'see' someone from the old stomping grounds.
I really miss the mountains. I can see Mt. Adams and Rainier from my windows, but it's just not the same.
I am still here but headed to Vegas in the morning. My job gets me over here quite a bit. I would be happy to meet you.
The same goes for all you wonderful writers. It is my goal to meet all that I can. If I keep playing the odss, I can say that I personally know the next J K Rowling one day. I really am a nice guy, I rarely bite, and I have the antidote for Merlions potioned pastries.

In the Arizona desert. It will be 114 degrees here today---in the shade (and there's very little shade).

I live in Central/Western Massachusetts, though I'm constantly moving around from Malden to Littleton to Amherst. Depends on the time of year, mostly whether or not I'm away for a semester at uni.
I did live in Albuquerque, New Mexico, for three glorious years, though I'm told that when I lived there (1999-2002) was one big drought. It was still amazing, though. I have every intention to go back once I have the means.

Hi Deb and Lullaby Lady. I'm in Mesa. Getting to the cooler climate sounds nice. For travel these days, all I need is some free time and medication to get over the shock at the gas pump.

Louisville, Kentucky. We were just voted the most livable city in the US! Not sure exactly what that means, but it sounds cool...

Actually, I was just playing poker last night with a Tom Buchanan. He went to high school with one of my uncles. Any relation?

Not sure, I know his wife's name is Julia, but it's been ages since I met the rest of his family. I'll have to check with him.

Newport Beach, CA Yucca Valley, CA (high desert) Makaha and Honolulu, HI Seattle, Tacoma & Puyallup, WA Albuquerque, NM Eastern Australia and South Australia Hmm seems like I forgot one too. Oh yes, how could I forget? I was raised in Grosse Ile, MI (an island at the head of Lake Erie) What a wealth of information we have for each other! This was a great idea!

We ought to make a tally at the top, listing each country (or state) just to get an overview of what our real demographic is.

Cincinnati, Ohio... often cold and caked in snow. Willing to consider even trade with Merlion-Emrys.

You volunteering, Zero?
Of course, since this is what statisticians call a "self-selected sample," it won't exactly be an overview of our real demographic at all, but it might be interesting even so.

if you started a post open to edits by everyone, we could alphabetize - that would make it easier to locate people nearby.

"if you started a post open to edits by everyone"
It's a good idea but nothing comes at zero price.
One thing that often happens with shared files is someone accidentally messes up or deletes the whole thing. Unless someone offers to save a copy off-line periodically, there's a risk of corrupting or destroying it by accident and being unable to revert to the last good version.

I live in Queensland, Australia, where at the moment it's cold of a morning and night but the days are lovely. The coldest day so far has been 17 degrees down to -2 overnight. Not to sure how that converts for some of you. But it it early days of winter yet, but even so the coldest we are likely to get is around the -6 mark.

I'm in London, England. It seems that I'm alone in this forum, which I find hard to believe. Come on folks, move. Ignore the fact that it's ten times the annual average salary for a flat the size of a shoebox. You can fit a notebook and pen in a shoebox, right?

Alone in London? Possibly. I don't recall other Hatrackers from England's greatest city though I could be wrong of course. I lived in Earls Court for a short while on my return from the US of A and decided that living in a shoebox wasn't for me, so now I'm in a king-size shoebox in Derby.
Alone in England? There are a few English contributors to Hatrack but I'm not going to embarrass myself by trying to enumerate them and omitting someone.

We have had other threads on this topic before, but I'll post again where I live... in Oregon, in the Columbia River Gorge, specifically in The Dalles which is the end of the overland Oregon Trail.
I'm sure Utah has nice mountains, but I'd hesitate to call them the most beautiful mountains in America, shimiqua, until you've seen the Cascades. After all, we did have one blow up on us about twenty-eight years ago. THAT was exciting.
And MartinV, if it's any consolation, I hosted a foreign exchange student from Slovakia one year. She was duly insulted when I bought her a little flag to remind her of home... and the flag was from Slovenia.
