I’ve not only drove by, stopped many times for gas or the McDonalds.
Been through there a couple times (My mom’s relatives are from Superior, WI).
You are probably right, most tourist specific places are out of bounds for ordinary Cubans. For instance I lived for years in Havana but could never get beyond the main entrance to the Hotel Nacional. Then again, I went to places in Cuba no tourist would ever think of visiting.
In the southern coast of Cuba, almost directly south of Havana the Mayabeque river empties into the Gulf of Mexico. There you will find Playa Caimito, or Caimito Beach. It is muddy, because of the river, and is full of commercial fishing boats. But where the river connects with the sea there is a spot where you can stand with one foot on the cold river water and one foot on the warm gulf water. You can also catch both salt and fresh water fish, and cook them on a wood fire by the shore. Tourists would never go there, but when I dream of being in the beach that’s what I dream about.
Bukoba, Tanzania?
- Been there, but did you get to Miembe Saba ( Seven Mangoes), just north of Bagamoyo, Tanzania?
More local- how about Gun Barrel City, Texas? And I must mention Hankamer, Texas, where my father was born and is named after the family( my last name).
And you came back without any tablets?
I was referring to the one in Burnett Country, northeast of Minneapolis-St. Paul and straight south of Duluth-Superior.
But I did learn something. I didn’t know there are two Webster, WI’s.
How about on top of Sugar Loaf Mountain looking out over Lake Superior?
Or Stannard Rock Lighthouse on Lake Superior?
Or just off Stannard Rock Lighthouse on Lake Superior, in a 25-foot Bayliner Saratoga cruiser, having just landed a 19.5 lb forktail trout?
That was one recalcitrant fish.
Only one I can think of at he moment - anybody been to Isfahan, Iran?
Lived there for 1.5 years.
Who has been to House on the Rock in WI?
Anyone else ever been to Liberia?
Smoke Hole Campground, West Virginia
Yanceyville, Virginia (maybe this isn’t fair, it’s really just a few homes, a church or two, and an old out of business store.)
Pin Oak, West Virginia (another tiny named place on the map.)
And how about Dinosaur Land near Winchester, Virginia?
I would have said Aurelia, Iowa, but I know that **David Simmons **has been there.
On the uppermost outdoor observatory level of the CN Tower in Toronto? Anybody else?
Curses, I was just coming here to say those two places. I spent two happy(?) years in those two places. How is Turkmenistan now Turkmenbashi has popped his clogs, do they still have his rotating gold statue?
Has Azeri driving improved any and DYP?
Add Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Libya, Balikpapan and Miri in Indonesia and Seria in Brunei.
Salta and some assorted small vilages in northern Argentina
Tapioca, I would rather recommend getting up to Almaty in Kazakhstan, great place, good skiing and nice city. The airlines kind of suck though
I’d have to say Umiat, Alaska, which certainly qualifies as middle of nowhere.
been to all of these except Parsonsburg.
Iqaluit, Baffin Island in Nunavut. In April. In a blizzard. For a week.
I didn’t know a thermometer could go that low. :eek:
Been there, too, though not at 3:00AM. Our 3:00AM mountain climbing excursion was to the top of Masada, via the ancient Snake Path – with a guitar. We watched the sun rise over the mountain range and sang “Here Comes the Sun”.
You wouldn’t happen to have been there in June/July 1978, with a program called “Israel Summer Happening,” would you? If so, not only have we both been to all those places, but were actually there at the same time. Now that would be freaky cool.
2 years in the mid-1990s.
Were you with a VP squadron? I worked at the ASWOC there.
I have a list of fairly obscure places I’ve been, but at the rate this is going someone has been there already and is here now.
Me.
