I'm in door county right now, will be heading off to Eau-Claire in a few days. I'm not from here though, was originaly from the west coast where there were mountains, rivers, and pine trees. Here in door county (Chicogo/Florida during the summer months) people think a bump in the road that goes up 20 feet is a big hill. Just an extremlly diferent culture and I miss the ocean; thats all the :-( means.

As far as the internet connection, i'm lucky to connect at 21. Ever try playing counter strike with a ping of 2250?

well then its not actually a hill...its a mountain...but umm its like texas where the "nuclear power plant cooling pond" is a lake (wtf? they swim in a place that the name literally translates to "nasty water" and its warmer than any bath ive ever taken)...and hey if you miss the ocean go to one of the great lakes...itll be exactly the same except it wont taste as bad (uck salt water is nasty) and there are some decent bluffs down by madison if you just want some scenery (and YES! there is a river at the wisconsin dells no matter what your told it was the original attraction) SO THERE (i have pride in a state i hate :-( )

Yeah, the lake is great, but the waves on the lakes just can't compare to the waves that crash onto the rocks a hundred feet into the air out west.
I like WI here, and there are tons of great things here that i love, but my roots are still out there by the ocean.
