@FrayedBear >Perhaps your parks only have skunks, squirrels, cougars and bears is why they are cheap - They are cheap (mostly) because they're tax supported. Parks in the western US are commonly charge while those in the eastern US (where I am) rarely charge. It's free to visit the most visited national park, the Smoky Mountains National Forest. The two parks Petunia wants to visit are in the western US and hence the most expensive. When they do have a price they vary depending if you want an annual pass (up to $70 per person) or for a car or an individual. Individual pass can be as low as $5 or as high as $35. I get a 50% discount because I have a golden eagle card. It's because I'm an old guy. For a breakdown, see: https://www.nps.gov/aboutus/entrance-fee-prices.htm GENERALLY SPEAKING, campgrounds at parks will cost you. (Absolutely free in cases where the campsite is inaccessible by car). Price is determined if you're driving in with an attached camper, a recreational vehicle or using a tent. They're way more expensive if you check into a privately operated campground. One of our favorite campsites (Mount Pisguh ~4,500 feet) cost me $8 a night while the local lodge (privately operated) across the street cost $180 a night for a room. We walk across the street and get good eats. Pictured below is our campground there and the mountain. It comes with a bear box to store food in. Now it's your turn to talk about prices on Aussie national parks, camping, lodging and fees. Don't forget to visit "Camping for adults in Dixie (no children) Group". Uganda parks won't allow tent camping.

Most parks we visit are free. The highest priced park we have ever visited here in the states was $30. Petunia doesn't want to go anywhere near Africa.

@Petter It comes from the French quarter of New Orleans (Louisiana) to honor France, the kings of Bourbon era. Back when the frontier of America was Kentucky and Tennessee, farmers would make rafts out of logs and float down to New Orleans on the Mississippi to sell the lumber on the raft and whatever they brought with them. Upon reaching the mouth of the river in New Orleans, serious drinking horse buying followed along with serious drinking. The residents of the city would sell them the good whiskey which they called bourbon. This was the rot gut stuff the French residents of the city had aged in charred barrels. That gave the whiskey a smoky flavor. The farmers rode the horses back, back both with the knowledge of how to make better whiskey and proceeded to breed the horses to make better horses. Today the best riding horses in the US come from Kentucky and the best whiskey comes from Lynchburg, Tennessee. When it comes to the good stuff, I prefer Scotch whiskey (or to be correct, whisky without the "e.") Despite the moon eyes from Petunia, we're not buying horses.

@Petter "Around these part[s]" means **not Ireland.** When the Irish washed up on American shores, they continued to make distilled spirits without the consent of the government. Many an illicit distiller continued to called it "poitin." Without quality control, much of it was awful and sometimes deadly because they might use lead condensers and car radiators. Legend has it because it was often distilled at night, it was called "moonshine." However, some illegal distillers had both quality control and all copper equipment. Into the late 20th century, they began to get a liquor distilling license and pay taxes on it. The major advantage of **not** paying taxes on it was low overhead and cheaper booze. Should come for a visit, you can buy it legally at the local liquor store under brand names such as "Georgia moon." Often the aged quality bourbon cost less than the moonshine, depending on which state it's made in. Major deal is most moonshiners for it was easier to convert to illegal drugs such as meth and marijuana than make moonshine. Therefore as a illegal product, it's dying out while as unaged bourbon it is making a come back.

"Superior" when it's capitalized is a title, i.e. "Mother Superior." I might be called a mother but never a member of the Catholic Church. My folks were Methodists. Additionally, you made the error of using "your" instead of "you're" as in "you are." "Sending you a fax"? Who's got a fax machine anymore? This is the internet. You may mean you're sending a video. If anyone was "blind deaf and mute" they couldn't respond. People from religious cults, don't stay on this atheist/agnostic site unless you're counting of the FSM group.

@Marionville Petunia prefers catching a cruise out of the port of Charleston, SC. It's less than a day's drive. It's got a few charms we've missed on previous visits. Her second choice would be a two day drive to the port of New Orleans. The Mari Gras there will end this month on Ash Wednesday, preceded by the wild festivities of Fat Tuesday. Because she's a fundamentalist Southern Baptist, she wants to avoid Fat Tuesday. For this old goat I've always wanted to rent a balcony overlooking the Rue d'bourbon on Fat Tuesday. That's because it's the custom of the people for women to flash their breasts for Mari Gras bead necklaces that are typically thrown off of the parade floats to the cries of "Throw me something, mister!" While they do that all year on the Rue d'Bourbon, the crowds are bigger on Fat Tuesday. I have 80 pounds of otherwise worthless Mari Gras necklaces waiting to go to half naked women. Where is your preferred cruise ship port of departure? If you promise to keep your blouse on, I'll give you a hand full of necklaces.

@Marionville The point is finding a place to meet that requires the LEAST amount of travel for both of us because I'm assuming Jack is willing to pay the fare. Azores might be nice next May. I wonder if there are cruise ships that go there. It'd be a travel agent's nightmare to get them to meet there at the same time.

Too lazy to check if this is true, but I tend to believe it.

I would love to start an agnostic prison outreach program that teaches inmates how to be good citizens without religion.

@TheKranium >I’ve seen enough of this country to know that there is more truth to the movie Forrest Gump than you realize. I've known enough cripples to know they're not going to become instantly cured by fear like Forrest. Everyone who gets into business (i.e. Gump's shrimping) without knowing what they're doing or having a little business education **fails.** I've yet to see legless first mates getting a job on a small fishing smack as the **entire** crew. Do you think Gump was suddenly gifted with a knowledge of marine navigation and marketing? I can believe an old buddy of mine who told me commercial fishermen are the "scum of the earth" because I've met enough of them. Forest would have been cheated, lied to and had his boat stolen. The movie takes 87 tons of artistic license. You could charter ocean liners through those those plot holes. On the other hand you're holding it up as truth, justice and the American way. Hokey smokes, Bullwinkle! Additionally you're saying is you've traveled more than I have without knowing where I've been to and lived in the United States. It is refreshing however to see self righteousness to extend to "I'm more traveled than thou." I've been from Key West to Tacoma, Washington; from Southern California to Maine and points between. Why I've even been to where the native tongue is Hindu-Creole, visited Central America and parts of Europe. You? Where you been? Ever been to places where the smallest unit of cocaine is a sugar scoop? I went to one place off the east coast of Africa where right after stepping onto the dock they offered to sell me a block of opium and sun glasses (separate vendors). To cut to the chase: your rhetoric is a shade shaky. Original, misinformed and bogus. >Why do you believe people who are ignorant enough to fall for religion while a captive audience in prison aren’t capable of being “brainwashed” into agnosticism while a captive audience? My point on that issue is the inmates are likely to try to sell the parole board they have become one with Christ and therefore should be released into society. Parole board isn't that stupid. However, the inmates don't know that and try it anyway. Logically if they approached the parole board and proclaimed they're Godless heathens now, they might find their sentence extended.

@Marionville There are several Saint Helenas. There's St. Helena Island, South Carolina. It's not in the **middle** of the Atlantic. Petunia would want to take the four minute side trip to Hilton Head, SC, both of which are islands technically in the Atlantic Ocean. Predictably, Hilton Head is expensive even if I pitch our tents. For me the plus side is it is a five hour drive from where I live in South Carolina. We could have seperate sleeping tents **and** a cabana tent. The one you **may** be thinking of is St. Helena, in the middle of the south Atlantic. It's famous for Napoleon's exile. It's not only difficult to get to, it lacks anything a reasonable person would want to visit. There is St. Helena, California and a volcano in the northwestern US . . . . I've been threatening to whisk Petunia off to Quebec, Canada to remind her once more how useless her three years of high school French has become. We could meet there although it is not a half way point but it beats an isolated island in the South Atlantic.

Balls between the out reached shoulders? Are you from my home planet, Mongo? Hug me gently. I was paying more attention to the trail on the next hill over, something absolutely nobody is paying the slightest attention to. It appears to stop in the middle of nowhere, bringing back memories of the times I've gotten seriously lost. There's a trail map I consulted where the trail forks to either the tallest waterfall in South Carolina (see: https://www.hdcarolina.com/episode/raven-cliff-falls-overlook) or eight miles into the middle of the woods. Why anyone would want to hike eight miles into middle of the woods and double back still eludes me. Just because the trail goes there? Oh well. Memories of a guy who's done too much hiking in parts not well known. (Don't forget to visit my site, "Camping for adults in Dixie (no children) Group"} I could amble on about it but people would rather yatter on about suggestively formed cactus covered in thorny pricks.

I just came up with a plot to a movie that could be the gateway to an entirely new genre.

@TheKranium >My plan working has nothing to do with whatever your plan is. They are unrelated.' When you don't say which plan you're referring to at first, confusion reigns. As long as we're dealing with confusion . . . . >You don’t have to be a genius to learn how to be a good citizen. I wasn't talking about geniuses by a long shot. I was talking about semi-literate jail birds including the ones that are unable to read because they're just not that swift or ambitious. Most of them don't have a GED or are even high school graduates. Somebody has to have below average intelligence. These are people actively resisting education because they have higher density than your average fence post. I wouldn't call them idiots because it's such an out of date term. I should restrain myself from hammering that point even further. Education is not the answer. Because your plan centers around education, it won't work with those people. > I think the movie Forrest Gump hit that nail on the head. Snort. Giggle. Giggle. It's fictional movie in which Forrest's mother fucks the school board to keep him in school and Forrest marries a whore dying from STD. Yea, that is a realistic model for you. There are a fair share of a southerners who view the movie as Hollywood's excuse why gentlemen from the south do well. They're idiots but, you know, they're POLITE idiots. Not to put too fine of a point on it: YOU BOUGHT THAT? 👌 Hooray for Hollywood!!

Don't you just love the sort of day we've just had here?

## One of my favorite places to go camping and hiking is the Smoky Mountain National Forest. It is a rain forest and most visited park in the states. Annual rain fall ranges from 65 to 85 inches a year. The heaviest rain falls near the peaks and the lightest in the valleys. For a fun time, make...
