Skip down the airplane isle (nope it’s “aisle“) to get to manx, wallabies, motorcycle races & see the northern lights on island of mankind.BeNotDeceived wrote: ↑January 7th, 2021, 7:57 pm Isle of Man.
Isle vs Island; what's the difference, anyone?
I used to wheel the Land Cruisers a few times a year down there in the desert and slick rock. It's such a beautiful part of our country. I love the high altitude desert we have hereFoxMammaWisdom wrote: ↑November 26th, 2022, 2:27 pm Southern Utah red rocks - this is Pioneer Park in St. George, but it looks like this all over.

I'm a big fan of tree ferns, but I think they are all native to the southern hemisphere. You don't get them growing wild elsewhere as far as I know. New Zealand and Tasmania have miles of lush tree fern bush... often topped by other bigger species of trees.Seed Starter wrote: ↑August 26th, 2023, 2:57 pm Great posts everyone! I would love to visit New Caledonia and the Isle of Pines specifically east of Australia.Tropical locations with pine trees is pretty cool. I also think this is so far off the map for most people and extremely costly to get there from the USA that I don't think it gets a ton of tourist traffic. They speak French there mainly. I will get there someday

I have camped out in some of these places. They tend to be very damp, much like the Pacific North West. The tree ferns produce a kind of scratchy hair bark (if you can call it that) which can be rough and irritating, but they also tend to muffle sound so tree fern thickets tend to be very peaceful places.
I wanted to see Australia and New Zealand. Back then I had the time and money to do so. I have little patience with airports now, and I hate what has happened to these countries recently.Seed Starter wrote: ↑August 27th, 2023, 11:10 pmI think those may be Dicksonia Antarctica:Niemand wrote: ↑August 27th, 2023, 5:56 amI'm a big fan of tree ferns, but I think they are all native to the southern hemisphere.

They are beautiful and that is a forest I'd love to visit. I read about DA a while ago researching a short story. I needed a very large prehistoric fern tree. Apparently the DA can get to 15 meters! In your picture I expect to see foot long dragon flies buzzing around. What brought you so far south?
Weird going to the dentist today on 557 Alaska Street across from the hotel where we stayed in room 308 while we closed on our North facing house in Palmer AK. Dentist dude had spent a few months on Saipan treating Japanese prisoners in the late 80s. I never knew they kept prisoners there.Thinker wrote: ↑September 22nd, 2018, 1:25 pmWow - I also didn’t know it existed.

The Most Beautiful Place In America You’ve Never Heard Of
It reminds me of how so much depends on your state of mind and who you’re with more than where you are. At times I’ve been in the most beautiful place but the people around had negative vibes - and other times I’ve been in ghetto areas but the people I was with made it some of my best memories.
The pictures of Bariloche I've seen have indeed been beautiful but I'm mainly aware of it as the place that it is claimed Hitler fled.
Beautiful!
