    Tough call ...but if I had to pick one fast I'd probably say Harpers Ferry.

    Default Roan Mountain? nah

    can you even call it a town, to me its like an old west town full of hoodlums and naredowels (sp?)...I'd choose Harpers Ferry, such a beautiful place and so full of history, the river confluence is especially enticing.

    Not really, just take the Lincoln Tunnel west bound to Secaucus, hold the empty cannister in the wind for say, 5 minutes and voila....refill!

    Default No place like home

    The Forks, Maine USA or as we locals like to say "The Fox." RunRiverRun

  17. #17

    Default I'd say...

    Any place in America with Southern culture, Northern climate, Alaskan population density, mountains, forests, and pre-1912 political freedom.

    Sounds like Alaska (other than Juneau) once she gets her independence...

    On the AT it would have to be either Maryville, Hot Springs, Wesser, or Asheville.

    On the PCT, probably Idyllwild, Bishop, Mount Shasta City, Skykomish, or Stehekin.

    On the GDT, definitely Field or Golden.

    In Damascus? Where, Lonewolf? Just kidding LOL

    I like it just fine here in Pearisburg. I can see cows out my bathroom window. I live in a county with FOUR TRAFFIC LIGHTS. I never want to live anywhere again where there's traffic. Super Wal Mart has almost everything I need. I can walk there if need be, although it's a road walk. If I need anything else, I can go to Blacksburg or Christiansburg for it, or order it on line.

    I can see the case for Harper's Ferry. It has commuter train service that provides easy access to Washington DC. Unfortunately, the Ferry has gotten expensive as the Washington area keeps pushing outward.

    Default Just wondering

    What's the price of real estate in trail towns?
    I'm sure they are not all $$$ like Kent and Salisbury CT.
