I'd have to go with my home town Wytheville Va. this gives you access to the trail ranging from 20 minutes to an hour. You have Bland access 20 min away, Atkins and Groseclose 20 min, MT. Rogers 45-min to and hour, Damascus 45- 1 hour, Pearisburg, Roanoke, man the list goes on. NOt to mention the New River Trail 20 min away, as well as the Creeper, iron, and Va Highlands Horse Trail.

I guess I'd have to go with Damascus, as it is getting too chilly up here in New England for this old body. Come to think of it though, I wouldn't mind anywhere on the AT from Hampton TN to Catawba VA.

Lexington, Virginia..... a short drive from Buena Vista and the trail. Nice town that has always felt like HOME even know I'm not from there.

I do live in a special town on the trail but i don't want it made too public

so you will all have to just guess, I walk on the trail every day even when i'm not hiking

[Jack Tarlin]

Hey, Utley, good to see someone mention Lexington, which I'm not sure anyone ever has here at WB. Beautiful, friendly little town, with lots to see and do: The Virginia Military Institute, one of the country's finest colleges, is here, as well as the beautiful Washington and Lee campus; you'll also find the graves of two great Americans, generals Robert E. Lee and Thomas J. Jackson. (Lee was a college president in Lexington after the War, and Jackson was an instructor at VMI before it. If you're interested in the War of Northern Agression, this is a remarkable place to visit; along with the Sharpsburg (Antietam) and Gettysburg battlefields, Lexington is one of the most historicaly significant places on or near the Trail).

Konnarock or White Top Virginia, not too far from Damascus. In fact I had my eye on some land near Konnarock but it got away from me last year. I hope to buy some land in that area, or maybe NE Tennessee or Western NC with an eye toward future retirement.

Damascus is nice but I can't see living right in a town.

[solace]

San Fransisco, CA!!!! Heck Yea!

Truthfully the whole appalachian corridor is a little too civilized for me, including the AT. I don't even know why I'm here half the time, except that I'm bored and I happen to live real close to the trail. I grew up on the AT in MD and VA, and have now hiked most of it, but outside of the Whites, Bax, and the long stretch in NC outside of SMNP, the trail doesn't have a whole lot of appeal. The towns as well are a bit too groomed and over-peopled for my liking. Even the really sweet little towns like Bryson City, Ashville, HArpers Ferry..they are all many charmed but they tend to get me claustrophobic ina hurry..I don't know why this is..I grew up on a farm and i sure appreciate big tomatos, pleasent neighbors and pastoral settings, but all it takes is one streetlight or barking dog or steady traffic to yank my heart back to the wilder places on the map...so I go there too. but when I do my hiking thing up here in the Whites, I actually go out of my way to blue blaze just so I can have some peace and quiet. When I retire to some unknown holler I'm gonna tear up the road behind me and I'm never coming out. Am I crazy? My great-grandmother was crazy. The last ten years of her life she raised chickens and never left her house. She ate eggs and chickens and went from room-to-room re-reading old newspapers. Must run in the family.

K-Bear~ An early welcome to the big city of BC . I think you'll enjoy here in the little town in the shodow of the Smokies. Give me a holler when you get up here if you want to. Until then.

Vice Mayor. In charge of gambling, prostitution, strip joints, etc.

I was going to say North Woodstock/Lincoln New Hampshire where I lived for 2 years previously...but if Wolf is handling these issues, Damascus.

[Rancid]

I'd have to agree with Ferryman, Forks would be a beautiful place to live. After the Sept. gathering there last year, I fell in love with that part of Maine and I'm planning another hike there this fall.
If I happen to move there, I would probably have to have a winter home in Damascus, I am getting sick of snow.
