OT: Post your favorite pic of your town/neighborhood that you took.

In keeping with the topic, I happened to be visiting my folks last week in Minneapolis, and I took these as the sun was going down two blocks from their place. This is my former neighborhood.

Paramount, That looks like a great event in Julian. It’s something to consider. Awesome picture too!

The harbor picture is great. I would not mind spending time around there at all. Minnesota, not so much eh? Just kidding, it looks nice.

Hint: Not far from San Diego (~2 hrs drive), top of very tall flagpole at sea level.

brawely or someplace around the salton sea perhaps?

Does an hour away count as your neighborhood (not including skinning time of course)?

Very close…close enough for a win.

Congrats….what was the giveaway lol?

Calipatria. Pop. 8000

4000 of them are in prison though.

haha, nice. I had always meant to go out there when I lived in SD. Never could convince the wife to drive a long ways and spend a day looking at old burnt out buildings in a wasteland. Something about it just looks really interesting to me.

I’m still working on putting a specific locale on your pic.

[jstoesz]

A simple wilderness area name will do.

jstoesz – What breed is your dog? He/She looks remarkably like our rescued pound dog. We’ve heard so many theories about the breed (obviously some huskie… but lots of other ideas tossed in.)

That looks like Sierras to me. Inyo Nat’l forest? Kings Canyon area?

If I recall correctly, jstoesz moved to Placerville, so an hour away and in the mountains would put him in the South Lake Tahoe area.

My guess is Eldorado National Forest.

He is a pound mutt from Helen Woodward animal center in rancho sante fe. They do a really great job rescuing and rehabbing them physiologically. Its a non-kill shelter, so I guess they have to. We are really not sure what breed he is. I am guessing he is some kind of Rough collie (long snout, tall and lanky, less dense long coat) and husky/malamute (defined markings). You have probably had this discussion as well. All I know is he is the best dog I have ever had, super mellow even when he was a puppy, can run for days in the mountains, and instinctively knows how not to hurt himself.

Did I mention Helen woodward is amazing?

The pic probably qualifies as my backyard (an hour away), in Desolation Wilderness (part of El Dorado NF) on the 4th of july last year. It was up from twin lakes on the way back from Lake aloha.
