From? Born? Living now?

Some bogley peeps on here don't have their "location" filled out in their profile and it is nice to know where your connecting from.

I am a Utah boy current living in South Jordan.

Born: Ft. Campbell, Kentucky

We didn't live there though. We were across the border in Clarksville, Tennessee and my Dad was stationed at Ft. Campbell. I was only a few months old when we got out of there so I don't remember.

Since then, I've lived in Durango, Colorado for a few years and then to Orem, Utah for the past 24 years or so.

I've also lived in Springville for a year, but I wasn't into meth or heroin, so I had to leave. :lol8: (Just kidding, Spring-villains)

Provo had me for a spell, but the evil police force chased me out.

Orem is home and it's where my heart is. Here, I'm pretty central to a ton of fishing waters and that's a very good thing for a guy like me.

...Not to mention a good family base here too. :2thumbs:

Born: Ogden
Live: Ogden
Die: Ogden

My mother went to the same Jr. High that I attended and my son currently attends. My mom and Dad both graduated from the same High Shcool I attened and my son will attend. Infact I bought the house my mom grew up in.

Oh I did live for 5 years in Columbia, TN. That is where my daugter was born. Nice place but they have a lack of snow and mountains. They call those hills mountains but I just don't see it. A tad to humid for my taste.

I was back in '94 and while riding a bus saved the two missionaries from the evil bus ticket conductor because they didn't know how to pay for the fare. I thought it was hilarious. The poor kids were shocked as hell, just their first month there and I come to the rescue speaking English and knowing exactly where 94th South in Sandy is....we got to talk and one of them lived not far from my mom's house. I look back on that encounter with a chuckle now.

I was born in Elk, Poland. This lake-side city is located in the Masurian Lake District. Prior to WW2 it was called Lyck and was part of East Prussia. It was first a Sudovian pagan village until they were conquered by the Teutonic Order in the 13th Century. The Teutonic Knights build a small castle on the lake and the village grew, receiving town rights in 1445.

Born Ft Carson, Colorado Springs. My dad was in back then. Like many draftees I don't think he enjoyed it; he didn't stay in long.

While still pretty young we lived in Denver suburbs, Loveland and Grand Junction.

In Ut I've lived in Price, Helper, Wellington, Payson, Spanish Fork, Springville, Provo, Orem, American Fork, Alpine, Riverton, West Jordan, West Valley, Midvale, South Salt Lake, Sugarhouse, and Salt Lake City.

I spent a couple years in Iowa when I was young and foolish and a couple more years in Iraq when I was slightly older but still foolish. :haha:

I want to live in Springdale, Rockville, Virgin, La Verkin, Hurricane or Toquerville.

Wow on how many places Bo has lived!

I was born and raised in So Cal and have never lived anywhere else.
How boring huh? I've visited a few states up North, and in the midwest, but I've never even been to the east coast. That will change next w/e as I'm taking my daughter to New York....

Kinda weird to have lived and mostly confined my travels to the SouthWest for nearly 50 years!!!!

This is the best (and only, if you ask me) time of the year to visit New England. Stuff is finally blooming and turning green, so you don't have he "dead stick" look anymore.

If you get a hankering for an awesome grilled cheese sammich (several varieties), and some fancy bakery items, you guys should swing by the Old Mistic Village and come into my shop: Bleu Squid Cafe :2thumbs:. I'll be working there on Sunday.

Otherwise, enjoy your stay, and be careful if outdoors: it's full-on-disco Ixodes Scapulari (aka "deer tick") season. Those are the little bastards that carry Lyme disease. I got it last year; trust me, you DON'T want it!

Born and raised in Brigham City, UT
2 years in Brasil in the Rio De Janeiro North mission. (The last three months in Cabo Frio, on eof the most beautiful places on earth IMHO)
then I got married and stayed in Brigham City.

I don't get out much, but I would love to go somewhere else for a while (not that Brigham is a bad place, but a change of scenery is always nice...I think).
