Where in Middle-Earth do YOU live?

[Brinniel]

Hmm. My city doesn't really remind me of anywhere in ME, but I can say otherwise when I speak of my entire state. Idaho is known for its wilderness, and there are so many places here that remind me of ME.

Most of the forests I visit in Idaho remind me of either the area surrounding Rivendell or of Amon Hen. Once, I stayed in a campground that was next to a river. When I stared out across the river and blocked all the telephone poles and cars from my mind, I could completely visualize the entire Flight to the Ford scene.

In July, I had the pleasure of going horseback riding at Redfish Lake, Idaho. The trail guide led us through a forest that reminded me of Lothlorien. Okay, the trees weren't golden, but they seemed to glow (the lighting was perfect that day).

Also, there's a mountain range in Idaho called the Sawtooth Mountains that look a bit like the Caradhras.
