Nice Ryan. Currently at home (blue dot) but spent a few summers in northern Canada and over to Anchorage. Many long nights where I was logged in here checking out cards.

I’m not there now, but I’m pretty sure I checked on Net54 from Iceland on our trip there when back at our hotel at night.

I usually post from Phoenix, AZ but am currently posting from Medora, ND in the Badlands and at the entrance to the Theodore Roosevelt National Park.
Beautiful here!

Posted before I realized I was looking at the red pointer instead of blue dot. Mostly left up for everyone elses amusement.

What a wonderful bit of perspective. To this Boston area member where you are IS northern Canada.

But then, when I moved to this area from western Mass I had to explain that the state went much farther west than Worcester or even Springfield

And yes, I know for sure that my entire state would fit easily between where you are and the Arctic Ocean.

Wow you guys sure get around. All my posts are from Beautiful Downtown Burbank or Sherman Oaks, but I have posted from the toilet; does that count?

Posting from the sun drenched fields of England.

Probably my most unusual posting location was standing in line waiting for a funicular train in Norway.

Less exciting today.

But just got back from Australia yesterday. Although I didn't post much while I was there, it was north of zero.

Started in Cairns, then moved down to Melbourne and Sydney.

The Rainforestation in Kuranda. I went there in 2002. I went back to Kuranda in 2003 and again in 2006 while on my honeymoon. All three times I took the Skyrail up and the train back to Cairns. The only way to do it as those Skyrail cabins get pretty hot in the late afternoon especially since I always go there during shoulder season - late November / early December. When I am up in Northern QLD I stay in Palm Cove which is about 16 miles north of Cairns. I go to the Great Barrier Reef from Port Douglas about 26 miles north of Palm Cove. If you have seen the movie "Fools Gold' with Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson it was filmed in Palm Cove and Port Douglas in 2006 while we were there.

I agree...we don't need to know that Adam considers Burbank to have a beautiful downtown.

I can hardly compete with some very remote spot in Alaska, but I quite often post from a small barrier island in New Jersey.

Nice. We usually spend a week at the northern part of LBI every summer. Now that our kids are grown, not much call for our Fantasy Island/Bay Village Pizza/Custard Hut run past the causeway

It took my wife and I 3.5hrs by air from from Anchorage to get here. We have no phone service and have to buy a very expensive hotspot to get internet, which only works at the hotel. The island, which is totally beautiful and awesome, is full of deep sea fisherman, all of whom think we are crazy but cool to come here as tourists. I don’t know why we came here other than we could (and we were already in Alaska). I hope we get home!! Below are two pictures off my GPS showing where I am as I type this.

It would be cool to see where everyone is as they reply to this post; kind of like one of those thumbtack maps you see in restaurants.

Post a GPS shot of where you are as you reply to this thread- let’s see the geographic diversity.

And, feel free to tell a story about the most random place you have been and/or posted or viewed net54 from
Any card shops in Unalaska, Dutch Harbor???
