I would like to go to the Yukon or Northwest territories of Canada. I hate people so it is a just place to visit. Back when I was younger I always wanted to visit Germany due to my German heritage. My desire to go there has diminished due to it being overrun by third world mud people. And honestly I don’t have much use for the European Union and their plan to eliminate the ethnic groups of Europe.
Anyway, someday I may pack up the truck and drive way the fuck up north into Canada and keep driving until I see more animals than people.
Try Newark, NJ.
Those are simply a subspecies….not real animals.
Wakanda.
I want to see a place with actual motivated and advanced negroes.
Colorado…I saw your comment about your dad. I’m sorry for your loss. It sounded like he (and you) were blessed with an amazing family.
Very kind of you.
I am wholly blessed with a wonderful family.
My dad was a funny, gregarious old school doctor
and fierce man of the right. He exited fast, painlessly, and
surrounded by family at 90 in his own bed. Sign me up.
Fast and painless next to family…I can’t think of a better way to go home.
Robert Earl Keen wrote this song about Heaven…for you.
Thank you for that.
I went several times. The drive from Whitehorse to Skagway is the best ever. Awesome mountains, lakes, and mining history. The whole drive from Alaska to Dawson is also awesome.
Continued. It’s called the top of the world highway. Too bad Canada is now a Commy shithole. Hopefully it will change.
You can go to parts of LA, Chicago, DTW, D.C., PHL and elsewhere and see ‘more animals than people’ … 7 days a week …
The land of Mordor, where the shadows lie.
..
seems like a fun place.
You’re already there.
There’s always Mordor on the Potomac (DC).
WHAT REAL OR MYTHICAL PLACE WOULD YOU LIKE TO VISIT?…….The UNITED States of America
I hear ya, but that train has left the station. Seriously though I’d like to take an extended road trip after I retire just meandering along through small towns off the beaten path. I know the place you yearn for still exists and it would be refreshing and illuminating to search for it.
Yes, it does exist……but I had to move to Ecuador to find it.
The Shire…
And maybe run into this guy somewhere along the way…
Where they filmed it all is now akin to a Concentration Camp….so you might want to wait a while.
Yes, I’ll pass. Unfortunately, I don’t think I’ll ever get to see it. 😭
That’s not Dildo Baggins!
You misspelled Bilbo. I’d only want Thorin around to protect the Shire as he was a fierce defender. Has absolutely nothing to do with his physical appearance.
Both real and maybe mythical: Antarctica with an all-access pass. Why is it such an attractive place to the controllers? What’s under the ice?
There is land under that ice. Also remains of lost civilizations.
That’s what I’ve heard. It sounded lush & beautiful.
OR
Whatever Admiral Byrd encountered is still down there.

A place where TPTB/elites can hide when the SHTF — until it’s safe to come out again and have the place to themselves …
A free America would be nice – there’s the fantasy place
My wife and I were hoping to be able to take a river cruise down the Danube and connected rivers from Amsterdam down to the Black Sea maybe. My heritage is Hungarian (my grandparents came over in the early 1900s) and I was hoping to do some research while in Budapest on the trip. But that was 2019. Not figuring we will ever be leaving this country again and likely Europe will be little more than a giant smoking hole once TPTB are done with it.
I would love to see the northern lights. Maybe if the people rise up and hang Castreau and his “compadres in tyranny”, we might be able to drive north someday to see them….or wait for the next massive coronal discharge and head up to N.H.
Very rarely you can see them in the Midwest. I remember over fifty years ago my buddies and I were out walking around early evening in the Fall and the Aurora Borealis appeared. All over the place there were little kids running home crying and scared shitless. They thought the world was ending.
I had recently read a book about Lapland and was able to tell everybody what was going on. There was no telling those little guys though. They thought they were goners. Pretty funny-in retrospect.
Hungary seems to be one of the ‘sane’ places in the EU/Europe … likely one of the few places that remain so … keeping out the invaders and such …
But Orban’s response to Covid was as tyrannical as everyone else’s, including pushing the death jab, masking, lockdowns, etc. Yeah, I like the nationalism (and I can get a passport if I learn a bit of Hungarian), but who wants to live in a country that is so quick to tyranny over complete bullshit?
One of the few places in Asia I have never seen is Bhutan, somewhere very difficult to get to. Apparently very special according to a friend who has had the privilege.
Thanks to all the folk at TBP who commented on my Dad passing away, this is one heck of a special community with all the right morals and values. You are the people that give hope for the future.
FJB.
1. Hardscrabble Farmer’s farm.

MyGirl’s German Bakery (a TOTALLY fictional place!)
Good list, Stuck.

Right after we got married, my husband whisked me away on an unforgettable trip to New Zealand and Australia. It was amazing. We have also done the Danube river cruise from Christmas market to Christmas market and spent a week in Rome getting blisters from all the walking, and many other cool trips.
There are still so many places I would like to visit, too many to list, but one of them has been to take the Transsiberian Railroad all the way to China.
This year, we plan to fly to Las Vegas and drive around the splendid American Wild West for a fortnight.
Rural Nevada is very underrated, seems all the emphasis on Vegas/Reno. Take US 93 North from Vegas,
starts out as Red desert on the Vegas end further North transitions into Juniper covered mountains and then actual Pine forests. Great Basin National Park, a hidden gem. Just before US 93 hits I-80 to the West are the Ruby Mountains ‘America’s Alps’ Take a drive up Lamoille canyon, breathtaking scenery. Visit some of the rough/red towns, you’ll see an America of yesteryear. If you have the time, Take US 93 up thru Idaho. Idaho is also what America used to be……….Headed that way myself, next week time to get a Spring bear for the freezer.
I got to take several trips to Australia and the barrier reef and islands are awesome. But the trip to New Zealand with my kids stand out. I love that you can go from tall mountain scenery to beach in an hour. We visited volcanic White Island and many awesome places. But are visit to Whangarei stands out. We got to the hostel there right before dinner, and this New Zealander, Danny, starts talking to us. He says, I would like to show you something, it’s a sort walk away. I was, we need to eat. The kids are starving. But yes, if that is ok. The kids were a bit suspicious and wandered what was up. Well, I knew there was a glow worm cave close, and though this might be where he was taking us. But Danny was quiet. He just wanted us to see for ourselves. We walk for a few minutes chatting, we went from road to gravel road to now a trail. It had just gotten dark. I was going to say. It’s dark and hard to see. When I spot some tiny green lights. I was look at that. Must be glow worms. I thought they were in Caves. Danny says. Yes. But this area gets no direct sun light. As we walked deeper into the forest, every square inch now had these dazzling tiny green lights. It was unbelievable and the kids were freaked out. We stayed for about 15 minutes and left. The best kept secret in New Zealand is there are forests of Glowworms. It’s something the kids and I will never forget.
I’d like to go to NYC in about 1890. Tiffany was just getting going and I’d love to go to work there.
If I had to stay in the present, I’ve traveled all over the world but have never been to Japan. I could spend another life time in that culture. Now the thought of one of those 13 hour flights is abhorrent.
Nirvana.
The Temples of Golden Wisdom on earth and the different spiritual planes are the most awesome places in all universes. They are the source of all wisdom. The novel Lost Horizon touches on the subject as the story is based on the mystical city of Shangri-La. The real name is Agam Des and was founded by the great Vairagi adept Yaubl Sacabi. Only the bold, courageous, and adventuresome in spirit are allowed to visit these temples.
1. Atlantis
2. Heaven
3. Shang-gra-la (or however it’s spelled)
And last of all I would like to drop in unannounced on a Bilderberg/Davos meeting and share my thoughts.
The only things worth sharing with those folks come in the form of C4 or similar …
You could share your lead and copper collection….
Dropping something on Davos unannounced is absolutely needed.
I think I would want to be in a simple place with my people like the town of Inishfree in “The Quiet Man.” Surely too idyllic to be real.
I’d like to visit Lafcadio Hearn in Japan, circa 1900.
After Hearn dies in 1904 I think I’d like to finish out the Edwardian Age in Edinburgh.
I’d be sure to pack penicillin.
Another place…the fictional town of San Ireneo found in the book The Awakening of Miss Prim. Ladies…have you read it?? Try it if you want to escape modern life for a bit.
Here’s a couple of teasers…
“Wanted: a feminine spirit quite undaunted by the world to work as a librarian for a gentleman and his books. Able to live with dogs and children. Preferably without work experience. Graduates and postgraduates need not apply.”
“…this mysterious prosperity was the result of a young man’s tenacity and an old monk’s wisdom… San Ireneo de Arnois was, in fact, a flourishing colony of exiles from the modern world seeking a simple, rural life.”
And here is a full review…

Lake Baikal. Either winter or summer.
Mythical: “Willoughby. Next stop is Willoughby.”
Real: Been to them all and working on visiting the domestic ones a 2nd or 3rd time.
For the views, and historical context, I’d like to go here…

Real place: Florida or any U.S. countryside.
Mythical place: Where Trump is playing 150 quadrillion D chess.
Larry Niven’s Smoke ring (Integral Trees).
I always wanted to visit the coast of England where King Arthur’s legend originated. I visited the Tower of London and various other landmarks. Stonehedge is amazing.
I would love to see Stonehenge. I’ve only seen the one in eastern Nebraska that’s made out of old automobiles, ha.
Galt’s Gulch.
