Where are we from?

I’m on that road at least once a day

Used to live there, play tons of golf, and hit up Magoos

Radford VA ain't bad

Not a lot of upward career growth potential for myself or my wife in SW Virginia. We'll probably end up in DC or overseas.

The more I hear about Fairhope, the more i think it would be great place to live or visit. We spent week at Fort Morgan in June with son, his wife and two toddlers. Trying to perpetuate boys' belief that Poppy lives at the beach.

The biggest drawback to Fairhope is housing costs. Real estate is really expensive due to limited supply and high demand. New housing in the vicinity of downtown Fairhope to the bay approaches $300/sq. ft. Lots are small. Building restrictions are rigid. Old residences are "turning over" (torn down and new houses built). There are 4 houses "turning over" within 150 yds. of my home, about 5 blocks from the bay. I would suggest that anyone considering moving to Fairhope rent for a few months to see where you want to be and what it costs.

I know your family well. You probably married into Pete Robersons family? Pat, Janet, Lisa, Charlie Chris, etc etc, bunch of them. Great people.

My Uncle Roe Roberson was Pete's older brother; lived just south of Pikeville off the road to Dayton.

I was totin' my pack along the dusty Winnemucca road
When along came a semi with a high an' canvas covered load
"If you're goin' to Winnemucca, Mack, with me you can ride"
And so I climbed into the cab and then I settled down inside
He asked me if I'd seen a road with so much dust and sand
And I said, "Listen, I've traveled every road in this here land"

I've been everywhere, man
I've been everywhere, man
Crossed the desert's bare, man
I've breathed the mountain air, man
Of travel I've a'had my share, man
I've been everywhere

I've been to Reno, Chicago, Fargo, Minnesota
Buffalo, Toronto, Winslow, Sarasota
Wichita, Tulsa, Ottawa, Oklahoma
Tampa, Panama, Mattawa, La Paloma
Bangor, Baltimore, Salvador, Amarillo
Tocopilla, Barranquilla, and Padilla, I'm a killer

I've been everywhere, man
I've been everywhere, man
Crossed the desert's bare, man
I've breathed the mountain air, man
Of travel I've a'had my share, man
I've been everywhere

I've been to Boston, Charleston, Dayton, Louisiana
Washington, Houston, Kingston, Texarkana
Monterey, Faraday, Santa Fe, Tallapoosa
Glen Rock, Black Rock, Little Rock, Oskaloosa
Tennessee to Hennessey, Chicopee, Spirit Lake
Grand Lake, Devil's Lake, Crater Lake, for Pete's sake

I've been everywhere, man
I've been everywhere, man
Crossed the desert's bare, man
I've breathed the mountain air, man
Of travel I've a'had my share, man
I've been everywhere

I've been to Louisville, Nashville, Knoxville, Ombabika
Schefferville, Jacksonville, Waterville, Costa Rica
Pittsfield, Springfield, Bakersfield, Shreveport
Hackensack, Cadillac, Fond du Lac, Davenport
Idaho, Jellico, Argentina, Diamantina
Pasadena, Catalina, see what I mean'a

I've been everywhere, man
I've been everywhere, man
Crossed the desert's bare, man
I've breathed the mountain air, man
Of travel I've a'had my share, man
I've been everywhere

I've been to Pittsburgh, Parkersburg, Gravelbourg, Colorado
Ellensburg, Rexburg, Vicksburg, El Dorado
Larimore, Admore, Haverstraw, Chatanika

I've been everywhere, man
I've been everywhere, man
Crossed the desert's bare, man
I've breathed the mountain air, man
Of travel I've a'had my share, man
I've been everywhere
I've been everywhere

I thumbed my way from LA back to Knoxville, I found those bright lights ain't where I belonged.

Cool thread. Just now seeing it as I was in the Canadian Rockies for the past 10 days skiing and seeing the sights. Wore one of my Tennessee shirts on the return trip Thursday and got a “Go Vols” from one of the passenger screening agents in the Calgary airport.

As for the thread topic, my wife and I both grew up in Athens (TN) and graduated from UT in the early ‘80s. Have lived in Huntsville, AL, for 30+ years (minus 3 years in London), but like many others have said, I’ll always be a Tennessean. Have 3 kids who were all born in a Huntsville but are all die-hard Vol fans despite graduating from AL schools (UAH and Auburn x2).

My moma was a Dodge City dance hall girl, and my daddy was a river boat gambler. I was born in a barrel of butcher knives, been shot in the azz , with 2 colt 45s. Today I’m every mother’s boy, and have a home everywhere I go with my Big Orange cap on my head.

Grew up in SE TN, in Ocoee. Live in central Idaho now. See quite a few Vol fans out this way.

I was in mountain home and Boise back in July, liked it out there a lot.

Born, raised and still reside in South Bend, IN. The miracle at ND was what peaked my interest when I was 8 and then my uncle being stationed at Fort Campbell and us making bi-weekly trips to see him and go to Opryland solidified my love for the Orange and White.
Back then games were more regionally broadcast with only a couple games being the exception. So without those trips the only way I could’ve even seen the Vols was the occasional national broadcast game.

I'm in the newest military service now: US Space Force!

Live long and prosper, my friend........

Cool thread!!
Born i n NYC, Dad moved us to Knoxville whenI was 5. The old born yankee but Rebel by the grace of God line , opened up RJ’s pizza in Halls. Moved back to NY at 18 but of course my blood was already transfused to Orange.
Moved to Poconos for 15 years and finally gave up snow shovel for sand shovel and now live by beaches outside of Tampa.
Don’t post often but on VOL Nation most everyday, thanks Freak!!
Surround by gators but some have become best friends. They don’t really hate Vols because,,, yuck we hardly beat them. Even had kids at the time that never lost to Vols, until JJ made them burnt toast a couple of years ago. Loved it!!!
I can’t wait until we make them hate us again. It’s coming,,, SOON!!
Go VOLS!!!!!

Warms my heart to hear folks been down the East Valley Road.

I drive it a couple times a week as a home health Physical Therapist. Trouble is, I have to come over Suck Creek Mountain to get there and I always get stuck behind a dump or log truck.
