Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

If you could drop everything and travel anywhere tomorrow, where would you go?

    I didn’t know you were a river monster guy @chuck
    I watched all of them, but I knew about the golden Dorado a long time ago. I picked up a magazine at the dentist once, way back in the 80s, that ranked the best fighting, freshwater sport fish. These guys won by a mile.

    I have always had them on my mind. I was surprised as hell when he featured them on that show. What a freakin paradise.

    Canada - to fish places like this in a helicopter. I did it once before but got hosed by the weather. I've been jonesing to go back and take another crack at it.







    Don't forget me!

    I'll hopefully get on the Skeena system for steelhead at some point. My boss has fished most of it and has multiple, fly caught fish around 40". I wonder if I'd get run out of there for fishing a bobber and jig.

    Response to OP:

    Great thread for the future Food & Travel Forum!


    If things were China Virus normal, and I was offered and expense paid vacation, I’d like to visit the Swiss Alps or Tasmania. Swiss Alps in summer is one thing that has been on my list for a long time. That one Rick (UW alum) Steves episode where he visited the area above Interlaaken is what I want to see.

    For a few weeks I've been thinking about a food forum or health and wellness forum, but I wasn't sure if it was enough to hold its own in this environment. But adding travel might be the ticket.
    At some point, you spread yourself too thin. I think we have about the right amount of subforums at this point. Each one has a fairly unique mission, and there's not a lot of overlap. Start breaking it down into finer and finer demographics, and discussion will suffer due to less and less window shopping.
    Agree. All the sports are well covered, plus the truck stop. Then, we've got:

    Movies/Music/Cigars/Literature/Watches/Finer things + Polls - Yella
    Economics/Finance/Real Estate - Creepy
    Chinsider Info/Guns/Tits - Wigwam
    History/Military/Industry - History Channel presented by Stalin
    Politics/Pandemics/Thunderdome - Tug Presented by RaceBannon

    We even have a Book Club and AnneLanders. We don't need anything else.
    1to392831weretaken makes a very good point. But I'm staying open to it
    Chinned for the first time I've ever been told that.

    I will never judge. I fished some Pumpeii painted eggs off my bobber fly Rod rig with @dflea

    I should have had the big plastic worm.

    The Lofoten archipelago is the craziest collision of man and geography that I've ever seen. Windows 10 has that lock screen slideshow that shows you a different amazing exotic location every day. Ever since the computers at work upgraded to Windows 10, it's been super cruel. You show up to a 12 hour shift of soul crushing paper pushing and start your day with a picture of somewhere amazing that you can't go to.

    Anyway, Lofoten was one of the rare pictures in that slideshow that actually prompted me to look it up. I spent several hours on Google Maps just scrolling around and looking at all of the little occupied islands. I would totally go there for vacation.

    It's cheaper to buy edibles and hookers at home.

    Though, in all truthiness, Amsterdam is on Mrs. Throbber v2.0's travel list so expect to be there in the next few years once this covid hoax is called off (TTTTT, I know).
