NASCAR Complex! Cool Place. You Can Add Bloo or Cheese with it. And Great Smokey Mountains may have Mr. Herriman as a Rabbit in the winter. NFL will may have Madame Foster or something.
Thx for the ideas for it, pitbullady Last edited by LaBloo; 02-22-2008 at 05:37 AM. |

First off-- Thank you, pbl, and LaBloo for the ideas on North Carolina. However, you forgot one, which was the focus of this pic: Asheville, NC, and the Biltmore Estate.
North Carolina Here's a link to the Biltmore Estate page for more background info. My description was a little fuzzy-- www.biltmore.com My next set will be North Dakota and Ohio. Any ideas for either, particularly North Dakota? I feel really weird asking about Ohio, since that's where I'm from originally!

Beautiful place the Biltmore is. Coco looks quite elegant there. Nice job yet again!
When I think of North Dakota I think of the Missouri River which Lewis and Clark paddled on their way to the Pacific Ocean. Fort Mandan is on the banks of the river, where they spent the long, gruesome winter of 1804-05 I believe.

I'm about to go on Spring Break (we have break early for some odd reason), so I'm putting out the list of the states I have left and what I have planned for each one (sort of-- I want it all to be a surprise) and I'll work on collecting pics over break, since that's the most time-consuming part of the project:
I'd very greatly appreciate he help here. Thank you all so much for the ideas and for sticking with me this long! ~ WAKG17

Oklahoma also has a lot of Native American sites and activities, and the National Wrestling Museum and Hall of Fame is located in Stillwater. They also have an awful lot of tornadoes. Oregon has Crater Lake National Monument; the capital, Portland, is the birthplace of the U-Haul. There's a town called Aloha, which has a statue of an Imaginary Friend, "Harvey the Rabbit", a sort of "relative" of Mr. Herriman. There is the infamous "Oregon Vortex" near Gold Hill, where gravity seems to work backwards, and water flows UPhill, and there's even a town called "Boring", though I'd bet once Bloo showed up, it would be anything BUT! Rhode Island has even ME stumped; I know there is an Art Museum in Newport because they keep sending me field trip stuff, and there is a bunch of Colonial era buildings and sites, and old light houses, but that's it. South Dakota-Hopefully this will involve lots of Harleys and a town called Sturgis, or I will be disappointed! Tennessee-Dollywood, Memphis and Beale Street Blues and the Peabody Hotel, and of course, Graceland; Nashville, the Country Music Capital of the World and the Grand Ole' Opry Texas-the Alamo(who would NOT appreciate Bloo's impersonation of Ozzy Osbourne, lol), San Antonio's massive bat population, which lives under a bridge, Big Bend National Park, Houston and NASA(Mac would SO be geeking out over that), and my favorite thing to do, if I'm ever in New Braunfels: http://www.savvycenter.com/explorer/.../snakefarm.htm ! This is the same place that was featured on an episode of "Dirty Jobs" on the Discovery Channel, by the way. Utah-Great Salt Lake, skiing, the beautiful Zion and Bryce Canyons National Parks Vermont-Vermont Cheddar, as in CHEESE(need I say more?) Virginia-George Washington's home, Thomas Jefferson's beautiful Monticello, the courthouse at Appomatox, where Gen. Lee surrendered, Chesapeake Bay and its fishing and crab cakes, Arlington National Cemetary and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, lots of Civil War and Revolutionary War sites West Virginia-coal mines, Point Pleasant, home of the infamous monster, "Mothman", who was featured in the movie, The Mothman Chronicles, Harper's Ferry, where abolitionist John Brown was arrested and hanged for plotting to blow up the US arsenal there, made famous in the song, "John Brown's Body" Wisconsin-Green Bay, home of crazed football fans who take off their shirts and paint themselves green during games played in sub-zero blizzards; Ed Gein, on whom the movie, Texas Chainsaw Massacre was based, was actually from Plainfield, WI, and is buried there, and Paul Bunyan is supposed to have been from WI; Eu Claire has a famous statue of him and Babe, the Blue Ox. Wyoming has a museum devoted to the Jackolope, their official mythical creature(Imaginary Friend?), in Thermopolis. Jackson Hole is famous for its scenic mountain beauty and wildlife, including elk and grizzly bears. There are lots of dude ranches for those cowboy types, and most of Yellowstone National Park is actually in Wyoming. pitbulllady |

Another famous landmark in Oregon is Haystack Rock at Beacon Beach. There's also Mt. Hood just east of Portland. There's some great skiing, rock climbing and hiking on the mountain. Many Portlanders refer to "her" as the city's guardian angel. Another popular Oregon tourist sight is the Columbia Gorge, through which the Columbia River flows, and is the state line between Oregon and Washington. There are dozens of beautiful waterfalls, including the famous Multnomah Falls. I use to live there. I have a lot of pride in Oregon. I also use to live in Texas, and what PBL didn't already mention that I miss about Texas is the Gulf of Mexico, particularly South Padre Island. Dublin, TX is the birthplace of Dr. Pepper (my personal favorite soda/pop/tonic ) and there's a museum there. Texas is also well known for it's State Fair in Dallas every fall. There's a giant puppet of "Big Tex" at the fair's entrance, and he greets everyone as they come in. *sigh* Ok, I'm starting to miss Texas now, too.

OH, almost forgot this for Wyoming-Devil's Tower! You know, that famous volcanic "plug" that was featured so prominently in Close Encounters of the Third Kind, like that thing that Richard Dreyfuss was sculpting in mashed potatoes? pitbulllady Last edited by pitbulllady; 02-29-2008 at 12:48 PM. |

Poor Ed. It's ok Ed. The T-Rex is looonnngg gone. That's just a statue. Of course I don't expect Ed to take any comfort in that, haha.
I just realized something, we see Ed jump into Wilt's arms, or rather, ARM, a number of times in the show. How on earth can Wilt hold him up with just one arm?? I know he's strong, but.....wow Ok, sorry, back on topic. Nice work WiltsAK!
