Where do you live?

[Bastet]

South West Victoria, Australia. I live on the coast...and even though we're halfway through summer, we've only had a handful of hot days so far. I went to the beach for the first time in 3 years, a couple of weeks ago (I live 5 mins from the beach ). I want more hot days so I can go some more!

 

[SoulTYPE]

Go to Shepparton Bastet. The hot days are many, 35 daily

and that's a step down from when I was living up in Mount ISA, QLD not to long ago..

 

[Bastet]

Yeah, but I don't like hot days unless there's a beach handy. So Shepparton is out lol.

Nothing wrong with swimming in the lake with the bodies and cars

Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA

 

[fromthe heart]

Three Springs, Pa. in the central Pennsylvania mountians. Where we are to get over a foot of snow today. Elevation 900 feet above sea level.

 

[fromthe heart]

Altamonte Springs is just north of Orlando Fl.

We have more fossils than anywhere else in the world!

Except for terrestrial Dinosaur fossils. We were a reef back then.

BTW, we aren't counting the old folk!

But we CAN count.

The windows are open, the birds are singing, life is sweet except my hand hurts!

What kind of fossils? I imagine you were under water at some time?

 

[Scuba Pete]

I and the state have been under water a lot, but I'll have to admit that the state has me beat!

40 Fathom Grotto (240 ft) near Ocala, Fl... I was diving with the infamous Hal Watts becoming a "Grotto Guide". We approached the wall at about 130/140' when I notice that someone has stuck little round knives all over the wall. I was rather upset that they would be so mean until I got to about 110ft and most of thr narcosis wore off. The knives were actually sand dollars stacked one on top of each other and embedded in the wall. This goes all the way to the surface. Whoa! Later he showed me 9 sea biscuits in a row, like they were playing "follow the leader". I think I grasped the concept of a "billion" that day.

Paradise Springs just outside of Belleview Fl. At 18 ft you can see the bottom of an immense sand dollar in the ceiling... it measures 18". At @ 30 ft you can find part of the vertebrae of a marine iguana in the wall (rt side going down). They claim there is a whale bone in the fissure leading down to the cavern, but I have serious doubts about that.

Wekiwa River, just downstream of the marina (just outside of Altmonte Springs). We excavated %75 (I think) of a Mastadon skeleton from the river. Both tusks were there, though the left one was missing the very tip. This guy was HUGE. A professor from FSU orchestrated the whole thing.

Phosphate Pits, just south of Bartow Fl, I recovered 2 Megladon teeth, both over 5 inches

Spring just outside of Ocala, I found a 1.5" Meg tooth that I wear around my neck.

Just from diving, I have found 1,000s of shark teeth, a whale vertebrae, ray plates, a femure from a sloth, a tooth from an extinct horse, Gator teeth, fossillized coral, cochina rok, Crocodile teeth, part of a skull from an extinct rodent (which is now at the UF) as well as many other pieces and parts that have yet to be identified. BTW, my wife says if I make a mention of her here, she will surely smite me.

Yeah, we got fossils!

*Points to her profile*

It is really warm here right now. It'll get up to 72 today, and the humidity makes it feel even warmer. :/ Of course, this is paradise compared to our 114-120 summers, or the incredibly cold winters (or even the not-so-cold winters with snow) that other states get.

That sounds absolutely fantastic...I'd be looking all the time for this stuff if I lived down there. I'm in to fossils and stuff. You really got it good to be able to do all that stuff and collect those for yourself and for others. I only have arrowheads from the indians and some aquatic life fossils found on top of one of the mountians here. Gee what you get to do sounds like SO much fun!!!

Dayton, Ohio. USA

Don't really know what to say about Dayton--nothing really happens here. It's been a nice place to grow up, but I don't think I want to settle down here. I'm a 5th generation Ohioan, ever since my great-whatever grandparents came over from Ireland, so I'm thinking it's time to break the cycle.

Is there any snow coming down in Dayton?

 

[Sunstone]

Well, Ceridwen, if you're determined to break the cylce of living in Ohio, you should perhaps consider Colorado. I moved here ten years ago and have never regretted it. It's a beautiful state with a lot of outdoor things to do. The wilderness is never too far away. I don't normally make recommendations of this sort, but you and Spinks would probably like Colorado if you could find suitable jobs here.

Where are you from originally?

 

[Sunstone]

Where are you from originally?

Central Illinois. Some would say that Central Illinois is home to humidity, corn, soybeans, and not much else, From the Heart, but I found beauty there too.


Have you always lived in Three Springs?

No...I've been here there and everywhere with my husband in the military. I was however born in this general area,thus part of why when we retired from the military we came back 'home'. I originally came back to this area so I could take care of my grandmother...she was diagnosised with cancer...she died before I could make the move. They say you can't go home again...I think that's probably true. Things change...someone is living in the house you grew up in and nothing feels quite the same.
