It's a Raised Ranch, though I suppose it does look a little like a Bi-Level in some respects. You'd have to ask Wolferz about any type of PA history, bankruptcies, etc.. I just got here but Wolferz is a PA veteran.

Like Odysseus, I want to start walking inland from Washington DC with a Powerpoint presentation in my hand. When I meet someone who asks me, "what's that", I will buy a house.

I do miss Kent though...particularly around the Weald...

That looks quite a bit like Sonoma County California. I can't say that I've ever visited anyplace that inspired me to move from home. Sure there have been attractions but the sum of the pros and cons just never was any better.

It also reminds me of Sussex, NJ.

I believe most of America looks the same in many areas.

It's just the northernmost town in Alaska, overlooking the warm and sunny waters(?) of the icy artic wasteland. Well within the artic circle by the looks of it.

A cruise sounds like a nice way to see the sights but I want to make a trip into the back country to see this place:

I'm a big fan of this guy.
