Hey Rox
Check out Phil's Photo Page, theres a list there of tt'ers by state. I think it got updated last winter, so it's prolly mostly accurate.

Phaedrus, saying I live in Arkansas is almost a misnomer.

I live closer to downtown Memphis than about 75% of the rest of the metro population.

The flatland hell part of the Delta I live is unremarkable. However, being able to sit on my backporch, drink coffee and see nothing but crop land has a certain soothing quality to it. I can be downtown for dinner; bball games; entertainment in about 20 minutes and no traffic on way home. There is only one redlight between me and the north south trolley downtown.

So, how do I like Arkansas? Hell, it is a lot better than the East Memphis burbs, but the better part of the state starts about 100 miles west of me.

Needs an update.

TENNESSEE
The greatest state in the South. Borders more states than any other. On one extreme you have Memphis, the Mississippi delta and Reelfoot Lake that by the way was created by the largest earthquake known to modern man. Middle
Tennessee (where I live and my family has lived since early 1800's)with its rolling hills, Civil War battle sites, Tennessee Walking Horses, and don't forget great BBQ! Then you have the Cumberland Plateau and the great hiking oppurtunities close by with the Cumberland Trail under Construction. Next is the upper Tennessee Valley and some of the best dry fly fishing in the South! Then the southern range of the Applachians with North and South Cherokee Forests and of course the Smokies. What a great place to live, even tho it is the only place I have ever lived I could only just visit any other state.

I do love the mountains of NC and ya'll do have a seacoast and all, but it doesn't compare to the Gulf Coast or the Atlantic coast of Florida. Ya'll are also home to most of the Nascar teams, and some great tracks not to mention the great hiking and fishing there. But my family moved from the Carolinas in 1810 and this is home and will always be home to me.
Tilt, I don't aim to please! Just my 2 cents worth.

Helo,

I live in northeast Mississippi in Corinth. It's mostly a backpacker-free zone with exception of Big Hill Pond SP in Tennessee and the Sipsey Wilderness in Alabama. Some recent conversations have led me to believe that that I'm not the only one in the area, and I'm working on figuring out who the others are.

btw, Karo
I gotta take issue with the BBQ thing. The best BBQ found in the southeast, if not the world, can only be found in good ole Memphis TN. Down by the river on 2nd St. about a half block north of Union Ave.

little place called the Rendezveus.

While Roam Around certainly knows his BBQ, IMHO, the best BBQ comes from the little BBQ pits all over the south on the backroads.

Places where they slap BBQ/Slaw/Sauce on a bun and serve it on piece of buther paper.
