Where's AJ next?

  • It starts with a W.

  • Are you in NC ? There is a small remainder of a mountain-top 60's theme park about The Wizard of Oz, Dorothy's house is still there and can be rented. A very cool place, we followed the Yellow Brick Road and found the upside-down house some years ago. Of course I can't remember the name of the town!

  • I remember a song…Glen Campbell... Careful of those linemen.....

  • @nobarkus:

    Now why didn't Dorthy put a restraint on Toto? The house spinning around like that, very, very dangerous.


    "We're not in Kansas are we Toto?"

    Nobarkus - You are hilarious!

    Witch-i-ta where the Wicked Witch lives?

    BTW - I've seen The Wizard of Oz every year since I was 5 years old - it gets better and better the older I get.

  • We will be there tomorrow to pick up a load. It's the only place in the US that boasts Dorothy's actual house.

    I figured I'd given it away with just the one clue…

    Y'all are a lot of fun!

    "I'll get you my little pretty, and your little dog too". "Ah,ha,ha,ha"! :D

  • Self portraits are supposed to go up in "other pets"

  • @AJs:

    Self portraits are supposed to go up in "other pets"

    Whaaa?! :confused:Are you saying I look like an animal? Baroooo!!:p

  • Dan: You can always make me smile….

    We have the state named: Kansas, but where will we be in Kansas?

    (I decided to try it this way to make it more fun and open us up to possible visits.)

  • wamego is where the "museum" is

  • Well I know there is a replica of her house in Liberal…is that where you are?

  • Dan little off track here but self portrait not a "animal". LOL

    I gave my answer a few posts back that it started with a "W". ;)

  • We were in…

    Yes, Ms. Rita: Liberal, KS

    I thought that one would be easier!

    Next one coming shortly...

  • So originally Dorthy's house was in the middle of nowhere, KS, blew off it's foundation and landed in Emerald City, then they towed it back over the rainbow to Liberal? WOW, how'd they do that?

  • It's been a very long time since I read The Wizard of Oz. Is Wichita where the story starts?

    I googled "Dorothy's House Wichita" and nothing came up except ways to get to Liberal. That's where the house is that is advertised all over Kansas as THE Dorothy's House. From what I understand (and I have been wrong before…it could happen again) the house in Liberal is where they did some of the filming.

    But I love the Witch-ita reference...:D

    I think Dorthy's house was just considered to be a farm house "out in the middle of nowhere".

    While I-70 and I-75 seem to be the major cross-roads in my neck of the woods, I rarely get up that way. However, if you ever find yourself on I-675, I could wave to you from the bridge near my house:) "Shiny Hiney" …LOL..I'll remember that.:)

    Aha!…But I didn't say largest living animals…I was speaking of the Great Grandfathers of Northern California, the Giant Sequoia commonly known as Redwoods. :D

    I've been trying to do that…it's not as easy to reach the distinctive landmarks with a semi as with other vehicles, including RV's. All the really cool places have signs up that say "No Trucks" and it really bums me out. I understand, though, because there are so many truck drivers who just throw their trash where ever they want instead of find a garbage can. And they pee on the ground rather than expend the extra energy to walk 75 feet into the bathroom. Trucker areas reek to an eye-watering level in hot areas because of this. But I do try to find distinctive landmarks when I can...the little lake in Minnesota, the rock formation in Colorado, coastal trees in North Carolina.... I will try to find more landmarks I can access.

    @Maya: If you're living in Holland, you need a Friesian!!! :D I have the most wonderful friesian, her temperment is amazing. She's not even 3 yet but she is just so sweet and gentle!! But, do keep us updated. I've had horses since i was 3 and they are a huge part of my life. I couldnt be without them even though im not as involved in the horse world as i once was!! P.S. I have some photos from a show over here in the UK with shires in their traditional plaits and tack if anyone is interested in seeing them. Its just amazing!! Yes!! I love to see the pictures!!! I like the Friesian horses but it's not a breed wich can used for lots of things, they are to special i think :D I like the Friesian for shows and as a barouche horse (is it a good word?) I once ride a Friesian and it's different with riding a normal or western horse. They make larger steps and it's very comfortable riding! A friend of us breeds the Friesian :D @moetmum: That sounds exciting, hope it all goes to plan. Our neighbouring farmer used to breed shire horses, they don't breed now but still have loads of horses. They go to loads of shows, they were sponsored by a local brewery. The horses are fascinated by the basenjis, and always want to come and have a look! the b's aren't keen when they snort at them though. I have never heard of a horse milking farm before!! Wow!!! If it was a little bit near Holland, I really would come over to met you and take a look at the shires next door :D:D We're don't going to live in Holland :D In Germany they have also some very nice breeds Hannoveraan, holsteiner (i don't know the english names…0
