There's this little town by where I live called: Oatman, in Arizona, here, by my town. They have this Natural little "Gold-fish" pond, built into a mountain, with natural rock steps, leading up to it, on the way to Oatman. Then, in Oatman, they have alot of shops, a Western Portrait studio, where they'll dress a person up like in the cowboy days, or whole families, with the feathered hats, and the rifles in the mens arms, etc... They have mules, that run the streets, everywhere, that anyone can feed.. And its all in the middle of nowhere land, but very intertaining. And layed back. They have Egg-frying contest in the summers, right on the sidewalks. Shoot-em' -Bang-Bang stunts, for entertainment! Its just a really cool place for anyone to go thats diffferent! Then, up the hill from my home, in the mountains, we have a spot our family likes to go too, that have dear everywhere, with picnic benches, and barbecue pits, all in their own little private wild like areas... With a hiking trail, that leads to a Reception Hall & playground, at the top of the hill (mountain), I guess for folks that would like to maybe get married in the great "Outdoors" or for anything, Parties. You name it !! Its an all- time favorite spot my kids & I like to go too, from time to time... Both are fun! And people underestimate the desert! The desert has thee most Beeaauuuttiful colors, flowers, wild life, some indian shaped mountains, you name it !! We have so much History in our town about the Native Indians, the Hualapai Mountains are named after. We have Humungous Mountains, one large group of them have a shape of an Indian, laying down with his hands on his chest as though he passed away, with the headdress & all, then we have another one we all call "Finger-Mountain" its just like it says: A mountain, shaped like its "flippin' the bird"... The desert is so wholesome, peaceful, and just wonderful magnificent Beauty everywhere!!!!

I live in a small town called Chiloquin - It's 'not quite' a reservation. It's interesting for several reasons; It's beautiful (well forested, with lots of hiking, camping, fishing, kayaking), It's developing (back in the 50s it was a prosperous, booming town - until a fire hit. It's just started back on track)into quite the tourist spot, or at least trying to, and it's diverse.

Growing up here, it was always a dangerous place to be; Alcoholism and Suicide were rampant. While they are still a problem now, it's not as much of an issue.

Chiloquin is about 30 to 40 minutes away from Crater Lake; If you haven't been to Crater Lake I would definitely recommend it.

I live in Beloit, Wi and the most interesting place here is the Indian Mounds down on the College campus.......or wal-mart LOL

Where Beloit College now stands, ancient Native Americans led rich lives for more than 500 generations. These earliest Americans belonged to many groups, spoke many languages, employed diverse technologies, and had a wide array of customs and traditions. Long before European contact, they built communities, agricultural fields, trails, and dams; extracted and worked stone, copper, clay, wood, and other products; managed forest and prairie resources; traded over hundreds of miles; and carved and painted sacred and ritual images on rock.

Between about 500 B.C. and A.D.1200, most Indians also built mounds. They built so many—perhaps as many as 100,000 in eastern North America—that 19th-century observers coined the term “Mound Builders” to identify the then-uncertain creators of these features.

The Mound Builders came to be considered an advanced, civilized race that had been obliterated by the Indians.

To many Americans, it was inconceivable that Indians—familiar as decimated, nomadic, and impoverished natives—could have built sophisticated earthworks that bespoke large, stable, long-lived, and prosperous past populations.

It turned out, of course, that Indians had built the mounds.

Archaeological work showed that North American Indian history was much longer and more complex than observers had suspected. Some mounds and village sites could be tied to living groups. Most, however, were not identifiable to particular tribes.

I'm just South of Nashville, only about a 35 min drive. All the fun stuff here is in downtown Nashville. We have all the shops, bars, and restaurants you could ask for. When the strip lights up at night, especially a summer weekend night, it puts you in a great mood. We're also only about 3 1/2 hours away from Graceland, and 3 1/2 hours in the other direction from Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and the Smoky Mtns.

Fairy Rie surely does not live in Epping? My friend woke up there just as the last tube of the evening parked (she thought she was in Kensington). I also stayed the night in a hotel there. It was... er... a hotel. But the most interesting thing about where I live is August. It's very very strange.

Believe or not, but a brothel ! Someone took me there, not for sex, just to see it, looks like it's out of an old Hollywood movie, drinks are cheap but the women are not. Very entertaining, and there is more than one lady who calls herself the madam. The police know about it and say there is nothing illegal. Walking by it just looks like a large, well kept Victorian mansion. A membership and a sponser are required.
