Jawjagrrl Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Jawja, of course! 😄 Fun fact: Georgia has the most coastline of any the original 13 colonies, And remains so for the east coast except for Florida. I've also lived in the mountains of Virginia (great place for african cichlids!), The Chesapeake Bay corridor, and spent a lot of time in the Carolinas before ending up at the bottom end of the Appalachian Trail on a farm with pretty awesome well water! Hard, but not too hard, roughly neutral Ph. Looking forward to trying a lot more fish than I did when I was in the land of liquid rock 🙂 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaitieG Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Yay for another Wisconsinite! Too bad we're stuck in a Fish Store Desert (have you found any good options?). I had good luck with the local club auctions when they were online, but I haven't made the move to in-person ones yet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayley Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Central Alabama. Not a fan of most of the state, but I love the nature here! Guntersville Lake and Smith Lake are a wonder to visit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 I can't believe I read through the entire thread and didn't see anyone else from Kentucky! Richmond, KY here - about an hour away from Churchill Downs, 30 minutes from UK, two hours from Fort Knox, and two hours away from the Cumberland Gap. Sadly, I'm about 36 hours away from the Co-Op... I'll make that drive one day! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree the nature is awesome, if only it wasn't so dang hot! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I visited up there a while ago to check out Aquatic Cove when I was camping at Joe Wheeler (not into saltwater tanks, that was my half-brother's area of expertise, but it was still a wonderful experience)! I'm just 45 minutes out from Birmingham. I was enjoying that little cool spell we had, but then it got hot again on us. Hoping for cooler temps again! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend's parents have a place near Lac de Flambeau. No scenic views of the southeastern part of the state. It would probably be ruined by a construction barrels anyway.

My family has friends with a little cottage on Rest Lake in Manitowish Waters near Lac du Flambeau, so that's where we spent a lot of our vacation time too when I was a kid. It's a beautiful area! My dad is a huge fan of the Blue Bayou restaurant up there if you ever want a fancy cajun place to eat (yes, cajun in Northern WI...makes TOTAL sense). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes as much sense as a Mexican restaurant I ate at about 25 years ago in Bismarck, ND. It was awful.

Kilrkitty08 Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Southwest Virginia - I say SW VA because I can be in four other states faster than I can get to the VA Capital and I very much prefer it that way. Love the Mountains and lower population lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
