Re: my town

OK that splaines it. (they say a picture is worth a thousand words)<br />In all of my short years here on planet Earth I have never met anyone who has said they were from NY or NY city. They always say Up State NY. I have even asked here on iboats a couple years ago with no answer.<br /><br />Pretty country OMC. Now I know why everyone has lied about what part of NY they were from! :D <br /><br />Like dtherrien said most people (like myself) think of NY as the Big Apple/sess pool <br />(sp) <br />Thats as pretty as any place in North America that I've been to.<br />Great pic! <br />Now I'm going back under my safe secure rock with a new picture of NY in my head! ;)

Re: my town

Cool picture,.......<br /><br />I see Snow Ridge just above,+ to the right of center,.........<br />It seems that the "Old Fishing Hole" would be Above your place,.. Or maybe just Off the picture,..??.... <br /><br />I've been Living the Major Misconceptions of New York State,......For 30 Years,....<br />Born,+ raised in Old Town Maine,... Moved over here just North of OMC's place,......<br />People back home would Always ask "What's it Like in such a Big City ?"........<br />Well,... I'll tell ya,..... Jefferson, Lewis,+ St. Lawrence counties are Way Less Populated,+ Economically Depressed than Anywhere in the State of Maine,..............<br /><br />And,...... The 10 Years I spent Trucking, shore to shore,... I Never said I was from New York,......<br />I Always said I was a Maineiac,...... :D <br /><br />There's Alot of Beautiful Realestate in New York State,......... ;)

Looks real nice OMC. I guess the secret of Upstate NY is out of the bag now. Is that the river you fish I see going through the picture?

Re: my town

Upstate NY and New England is some of the prettiest country I've ever seen. I was driving down the freeway in Maine and the sign said "Watch For Moose." :eek: :eek: :eek: I'd love to go back and just drive around. M.
