Originally Posted By Scottydem I love the overall feeling of entering Disney World and seeing the cable wires and the pole shaped like Mickey. Usually you can see the Earfille (sp?)

At Animal Kingdom, if you look closely you can see where Beastly Kingdom would be and some signs that they were so close to making it. For example, the monster-looking rock waterfall.

Originally Posted By bobbelee9 CDD, I wasn't offended at all, just curious. My husband feels naked if he doesn't have a gun or fishing pole on him. The prettiest view for me is on the WEDway at night, there are a couple beautiful shots of the Castle in lights. It must be unbearable gorgeous now with the ice lights on it. My son was on Splash during the fireworks, he said the sight was fantastic, for a split second.
Originally Posted By bobbelee9 Oh, speaking of beautiful, during the 50's, we lived in Florida, and every October spent 3 weeks in NC at Lake Lure, cabin on the lake. Real nice. My father liked to fish too.
Originally Posted By CarolinaDisneyDad I grew up 6 miles from Lake james and used to ride my bike out to the lake before I got my drivers license. It is one of the cleanest lakes around. Unfortunately (according to how you look at it) the water is so clear it is difficult to fish. I still take my kids camping on it for 2 weeks each summer with their grandfather. Never stayed at lake lure but we have driven through. That road is like a real version of test track. What a beautiful area. We have lived in the piedmont now for 18 years but I still consider myself a mountain person, still love cold weather, still miss the slower pace. We just got back today from visiting my parents where we went horseback riding to a high point near their house. We could see for miles. There was no haze. It was clear as a bell. There is nothing like a mountain view. Disney mountains included!

Some of my happiest memories come from getting up Saturday morning grabbing my cane pole, and meeting up with my cousins. We would dig up worms, and catch grasshoppers. Then head down the road on foot. We would walk from one relatives place to the next fishing their stock tanks. That evening we would have a fish fry. Man that was good eating with all those fresh grown vegetables, and sweet cornbread. Great days, I wish I could find them again.
Originally Posted By CarolinaDisneyDad MPierce, I have always loved it there.

Within an hour of the house I grew up in are Lake James, Linville Falls, Linville Caverns, Linville Gorge, Mount Mitchell And 3 ski resorts. It was a great place to grow up. I wish I was a better writer like some of you guys on LP so I could give you a better picture of it. BTW I've never been to Texas but I've always wanted to see it. I think there would be alot of things I would like about it.
Originally Posted By MPierce You described it very well. It sounds like a place anyone would love living. Texas isn't anything special, it's just a big place. There are a lot of things to see, and do, but nothing I would consider worth the drive for. It's very diversified when it comes to landscape, just to much driving to see it all. The small rural communities can be quaint, but the big cities or just like big cities everywhere.
