    I live in LIgonier, Indiana. Not a very fun place to live, but the people here are nice. I live close to Ft Wayne which is the place to go to have fun and Cedar Point is just 2 hours away so it's not so bad

    I live in a nice little town called Kalispell, MT. Closest 'Major' town I would say is Missoula, about 2hr drive south of Kalipsell.

    I work in a local copy shop that also does a builders exchange, sells laser levels & some servey equipment, sells safety supplies, does large format copies, and makes signs - which is what i do.

    TorturedChaos, I've been to Kalispell. Missoula too for that matter. I went skiing at The Big Mountain although I guess they changed the name to Whitefish Mountain Resort.

    Hey TorturedChaos, nice to hear you live in that area of Montana. I live in the biggest city, Billings. In the Heights on the east side of Billings overlooking the Yellowstone River. I have a converted "bedroom" office workshop here in my house. I build and repair computers for the locals.

    Mailpup,
    I was born and raised in Los Angeles. I lived there for my first 23 years

    Tmagic650, I've flown to Billings a couple of times but mainly on my way to Sheridan. I did some skiing in some of the small and tiny ski areas in northern Wyoming and then Red Lodge on the way back to Billings. I've also skied the resorts near Great Falls, Helena, Butte, Dillon, Missoula and Bozeman. Most were small resorts with some medium and a couple large ones. I think the only ski areas in Montana I haven't visited were Bear Paw (near Havre) and a fairly new ski area called Moonlight Basin near Big Sky. Since you're from LA you'll understand that the lack of crowds is a big plus.

    Anyway, sorry to bore you and everyone else with ski trips but I just wanted to get it all in. I'll skip the summer driving trips I took a long time ago.

    That's ok mailpup,
    I have been in Billings since December 2001. I left L.A. for good in 1989, and I have lived all over the US because of my job as a military contractor. I am retired now. My mom still lives in Reseda, CA. She is 90. I'll be 60 this June, my wife is 47

    I currently live at RAF Croughton, in the UK. Right near banbury, and you guessed it- the tiny town of Croughton. Since I am in the USAF, I was born in the states, Massachusetts to be exact. Spent most of my life in easthampton and Huntington, both of which are in Mass. Should be moving again in a year, hopefully korea.

    I lived at Bentwaters/Mildenhall for a few years, shut that base down and moved to Lakenheath for a couple more years. How long have you been out there yangly?
  12. yangly18 Newcomer, in training Posts: 242

    I've only been at croughton for a year. I have to travel out to Barford for my job, if you've heard of it. Actually just got back from a deployment about 2 months ago.

    Napier, New Zealand...pop. 40,000...some of them actually living. Laid back resort town. Great place for fishing (game and freshwater) and snowbirds who think road rules don't apply to the over-sixties and/or legally blind.
    Raised in London, and as a Chef have lived and worked there, as well as Papeete (Tahiti) and Thailand.
