Born in No. Calif.
Moved to Okla at 5
No. Carolina at 16
Back to Okla at 16
Texas, Arkansas, Louisana, California at the age of 19
Las Vegas, NV at 23
Back to Calif at 25

Came out here to CA with welder friends working on shut down at the neucler plant in San Clemente. Went back to Okla for about 5 weeks but wanted to come back to CA. No family, no friends except one person I met when I was here previously. I knocked on their door and asked if they remembered me. They said "yes" and I said good I don't know anybody here in CA and would like to stay with you for a while. Been here ever since other than a brief stay in Las Vegas, NV 

My Mom is Cherokee Indian and I was raised literally at the end of the "Trail of Tears" for the Oklahoma band of Cherokees.  Though I'm also English and Irish I was raised more in my Cherokee heritage.  Try being a blond hair, blue eyed Indian in Indian Territory....little resentment towards me.  I'm sure because of the past.  Something about Custard and Andrew "Asshole" Jackson.....I just told them "I wasn't there".  

I'm sure most people don't realize just how far in the "sticks" I was raised. Grandma just got electricity. A light bulb hanging down from the ceiling. We didn't have running water or an indoor bathroom, drew our water from a well, took a bath in a tub with water heated on the wood stove and of course the smelly outhouse. When they say the cow gets in the corn field....it does.   Grew up picking wild blackberries for grandma to bake a pie, catching crawdads, playing hide and seek on horseback, fishing and hunting. I learned how to shoot it, clean it and cook it...rabbit, squrrill, fish, whatever made a meal. My stepdad was the milk man who picked up the fresh milk from the dairies. Would cross through the fields (shortcut) to go to the store and have to climb a tree or get in a tunnel to hid from the bull that would often chase us, sometimes hours.... Lived with a family that only had running water to do dishes (go figure), had to ride dirt bikes to the creek to take our bath.  Started driving and working at the age of 12. We would take our cars to a parking lot and slide in circles when it was icy trying to miss the concrete lightpoles. Dive off the bridges for tourist, jump out of trees missing the boulders in the water, jumping or diving off cliffs, climbing the local hills and watching the sunset from the mountian tops.  Aww, those were the days of youth. Really miss the backwoods of Okla, the rivers and lakes, no traffic or smog, but mostly family.

But life here in Ca is good also.  Other than the obvious...traffic, smog, taxes, bad economy, etc.  Married, children and established business and mostly great weather.

No complaints

When I was a youngster in North Platte Nebraska, we lived in a house that William F. Cody (buffalo Bill) lost in poker game.... Moved to western Washington in 1969.

Nope, but will hopefully visit one day!  Have some ancestors from there though and want to visit the Rossyln Chapel as well.  Who knows?  Maybe one day we'll meet up and ride the road together!

My list is pretty boring compared to some of you, spent all of my life here in Illinois. Lived in Aurora, Oswego, and Yorkville. All of them not even 20 miles apart.

Never lived outside of England - or even Yorkshire. Born in Halifax West Yorkshire, moved to Withernsea in East Yorkshire, back to Halifax for a few years, back to Withernsea for a few more and then back to Halifax where I've been for last 32 years. Bit like a yo yo!!! (o:
