Mt. Washington, home of the worst recorded weather on earth :)

I admit, it is nowhere near my hometown (about 2 hours away) but it's really the only recognizable landmark my state has....unless you count all of our covered bridges. Like this one, 15 minutes from my childhood home:

That is my vacation destination (Mt. Washington) along with the state of Maine in July.. I can't wait to go. I have this website in my favorites Mount Washington Observatory – White Mountains, New Hampshire (NH)

Documentary on my hometown, Stanley, ND, where I've lived all my life, cept when I went to college. Home of a total of 3 sport bikes and many many harleys, Mine a FZ6, the guy down the street about 2 blocks has a CBR, and a guy about 1/2 mile has a R6, lol. We're now the center of the biggest oil find in North America. We're probably the only people in the US who are happy when the price of oil goes up besides haliburton. :Flip:

Oh and we have at least 1700 nukes. 3 of which are within 7 miles of my house, making us the 3rd largest nuclear power in the world if we seceded from the union.

Great Thread :thumbup: I'm from Beaverton Oregon next to Portland. The main landmark is Mt. St Helens and Mt. Hood. The first picture is of Hagg lake. A great rip to get there. A nice 45 mile jaunt on the FZ6. The second is of Mt. St. Helens on the left. Pretty cool checking out the homes of all the FZers. The world is pretty cool. Lots of great places. I could post a bunch of shots but it takes too long to down load them. Oh by the way my FZ6 is definitly more modded now then when the pictures were taken.

I am from a suburb of St Louis, Missouri. Our greatest landmark is known as the Gateway to the West, The Arch:
View attachment 21800
You can travel up in a little pod style elevator to the top, and there are several windows on each side that you can look out over the city. It was built in the 1960's, from stainless steel.
Great thread idea!! :cheer:
