There is a fair amount of reservoirs, streams, and lakes here. Yeah, all that for a farming community with a nearby Naval base, within 60 miles of REno, 80 from Tahoe, three hours from the bay area, close to I-80...

I'm sorry, I can't hear you over all the snow Lassy!

Seriously though, I was including the Great Lakes Area as a whole. "The Land of 1000 Lakes" was not forgotten Snowy Lass

As for growing up, I grew up in a small market town near the biggest man made lake in Europe, kind of tiny in the scale you're talking about (the circuit of the shoreline is about 26 miles, they do run a marathon round it which insane because of all the hills!) and now live in a city and beginning to seriously miss countyside and open space although the opportunities for music are greatly increased in the city I live in even if it isn't that great to somewhere like Cambridge where I used to live.

The smaller lakes aren't nearly that large. They pack a lot of scenic, though. Onondaga is in desperate need of cleaning up, but you can still swim in Oneida. Skaneateles is where we get our drinking water, as is Otisco. We've got a "mountain goat" run every year through the city. If you want a bicycle ride that's considered to be harder than the Rocky Mountains you can come over and give Route 20 near LaFayette a try.

There's a bbc program on at the mo with Stephen Fry travelling across America and there were some amazing eco houses that were off the grid near Santa Fe that I'd love to move to but sadly think being too far from the family would scupper it.

We spent a few days in Mooreton On Marsh down in the Cotswolds on our honeymoon, and walked around to some of the other villages in the area. (Morris dancers, we.) There are pubs older than our nation. We've felt the same way about several places. That and they don't have particle accelerators.
Off the grid sounds good, but we'd need electric or you'd never hear from us again...

Anyway, got to get on

should we be worried about this new addiction of yours HK?

It's an impressive sight right out to the horizon and as far as you can see up and down the shore.

I'm also nestled firmly in the Fingerlakes Region. There's lots and lots of smaller and larger bodies of freshwater hereabouts.

We also get a special subset of frosty flakes: Lake Effect. Does anyone else experience the phenomenon?
