Inspire me to visit where you live.

One cannot possibly be inspired to visit the place I live...probably

Dear Ten,
Since, according to your signature, you live in 'Some Cone Village, Somewhere', I could see cones from all over the world making a pilgrimage there, seeking information on their ancestry, like the humans trying to document their family trees.

Ha ha, now if such a place were real, I'd make the promotional video myself!

Do you like small, country towns? Do you hate internet access? Do you dream of crystal shops, Reiki studios, gourmet yogurt, and a place where aging hippies go to die?

Are you gay and want to vacation in a gay-friendly place that keeps out the poor, gay riff-raff and lesbians with inflated prices during the tourist season?

Do you like pot?

Then you should come and visit OldHippieTown!

Nestled in the armpit of the California Wine Country OHT was first founded by buggering loggers and prospectors in the 1800's. In the 1920's the logging train that traveled from the redwood forests to the San Francisco Bay Area was opened on weekends to tourists. Now, the area is home to Bohemian Grove, famous for ugly, old men like Henry Kissenger running around naked, and Satanic Rituals. The area is also very picturesque.

In the 1970's, hippies from S.F. began migrating to the area due to burnout and the fact that growing and smoking pot in a redwood forest makes it a lot harder to get caught.

In 2005, a very successful local business offered to install a WiFi network that would cover all of downtown OHT, for free. A local citizen, however, circulated a petition to stop the project on the grounds that the electromagnetic waves would give everyone cancer. The petition succeeded. The newspapers of nearby towns mocked this outcome for many weeks.

In downtown OHT you will find a crystal shop, a place to buy bongs & Grateful Dead t-shirts, a Reiki studio, one bookstore, and 3 “alternative” books stores. There is also a Buddist temple, but unfortunately it's used by actual Japanese Buddists.

There is also a museum and a gallery of apple-core art. Fugitives appreciate the location because no one ever goes there.

When the sun goes down, get ready to party! (At one of the neighboring towns.)

For overpriced yogurt there is a Whole Foods, which bought out a successful local business several years ago. Some denizens liked the change as the former business seemed to employ a lot of young men with eye makeup and women with girlfriends. The workers now look normal and have small chips implanted in their brains to ensure that they stay that way.

Dining is excellent in OHT. There are the gentrified, outrageously expensive restaurants, and for the locals, a Burger King, McDonals, KFC, and Dominos. The local population is expected to die off by coronary artery disease by 2023.

So, make OHT your vacation destination this year!

I'm inspired to travel the world and visit the whole WP community...when I get my dream job. haha Oh yeah, and I'm definitely on for that hippie commune.

Honestly guys, some of those places look like awesome vacation spots.

I don't really like the song in this video. I live in cottage country and this video shows one of the more popular lakes in my region.

It's just plain gorgeous here. All these places are less than 5 minutes from my house.
