With the outside possibility of me moving back to my home state of Kentucky lurking, I was just curious to know who on the board is already there. I can only think of four or five offhand. ---

Well, you know I’m here (for now), **Superdude** is here in Louisville and **Ellen** is in Lexington. IIRC, **Demo** is the guy behind [the map](http://www.lava.net/~alexman/map/mapusa.html), which is always a good place to look. ---

Speleophile weighing in from Cynthiana. Kentucky is the greatest place in the world to live if you’re a caving nut. ---

There’s me, if I count. In Lexington, official home of jacka\*\* drivers. ---

I live in Cincinnati (i could spit and hit the ohio river from here), but buy all my liquor across the river in Newport, KY. Does that count? ---

I, too, hail from the Bluegrass state, waaaaaaay up in the hills. Right now, fall is gorgeous here; trees changing, air crisp with the faintest hint of chimney smoke, and just a general feeling of stillness. Oh, we’ll sing one song for my old Kentucky home… Pardon me. I seem to have gotten dust in my eye. WHAT? No, I’m not crying! I just - allergies! Yeah that’s it! ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Glen Livid \* > **I live in Cincinnati** No way! Another one? We’ll have to do a Cincinnati Area DopeFest sometime. (Yeah, I know about OhDope, but I couldn’t go.

Yes! Here I am in Lexington! Gee I hope that wasn’t _you_ I cut off this morning, **dwyr**. 😃 **Snoop** , wanna share? Where are you from? **Cherry** , your post reminds me of the weekend we spent in a bed and breakfast in Blaine, Ky. (It’s not far from Paintsville.) We were on the third floor and I remember watching the mist snake up the hollow, as the moonlight shone through the crimison and yellow trees. Beautiful spot! I’m in Louisville all the time. I’d love to see **Thinksnow** again and meet **Superdude**! ---

I’m not living in Kentucky but, my son attends UK so, I’m in Lexington often enough. I’d be interest in attending a Dopefest in that area if one ever comes about. I consider myself an honorary Kentuckian. 😃 ---

Representing Frankfort here, capital city and all. I tell ya, **Cherry\_Blossom\_**'s right, nothing like a Kentucky fall. The rest of the country has nothing on the Midwest. I plan to go to UK, btw. Go Cats! ---

Wow, good deduction, Holmes. I am 20-30 miles from Paintsvillle (on the Lexington side actually). I am truly impressed. (Bows before the all-powerful cranium of Ellen) ---

> [@](#): > > Right now, fall is gorgeous here; trees changing, air crisp with the faintest hint of chimney smoke, and just a general feeling of stillness. You guys are making me homesick. I’m a Kentuckian transplanted from Danville to South Carolina, where fall is only a verb. The seasons here are Hot, Less Hot, and Rainy. I’m still a UK basketball fan all the way though. Hey **Blue Moon of Kentucky** , my boyfriend called me this afternoon to tell me that tonight is a blue moon, and he sang me the song in honor of my home state. Love your name! ---
