William Brand Posted April 16, 2005 Posted April 16, 2005 I'm in Northern Utah, so I am as landlocked as they come. Anyone else trapped up here in the Rockies?
William Brand Posted June 22, 2006 Author Posted June 22, 2006 I think I'll send out the word once a year.
Black Syren Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 Does Texas Hill Country count??? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v519/Dara286/trident01-11.png If you got a dream chase it, cause a dream won't chase you back...(Cody Johnson Till you Can't)
William Brand Posted June 22, 2006 Author Posted June 22, 2006 Does Texas Hill Country count??? If you have to ask... Tsk Tsk Tsk Texas is not in the Rockies.

Capt.Crypt Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 I'm in Northern Utah, so I am as landlocked as they come. Anyone else trapped up here in the Rockies? I've been through there mate.Personally it wasn't very eye catching for my taste.I don't like being boxed in by land.I have to have plenty of sea shore and ocean to explore.

But... ...if you have to be boxed in...
Silkie McDonough Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 OMG! What a beautiful box! So, Will, when is the best time of year to treck out there? ...I like the cold my guy likes the heat.
William Brand Posted June 22, 2006 Author Posted June 22, 2006 The Spring or Fall. Summer is very hot and Winter is very cold here. Cache Valley is at it's finest in the Spring when it is as green as Ireland or in the Fall when it burns with a thousand different shades of orange and red. Winter sunsets are also grand. And summer nights are pocked with stars.
Silkie McDonough Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 William, nothing you have said has made it any easier to decide!
William Brand Posted June 22, 2006 Author Posted June 22, 2006 Then mid-Spring. The mosquitos haven't formed raiding parties and the mountains are more green than brown.

William I think tis gorgeous, would love to ride horseback through there. Reminds in places of Montana, The wide open spaces and the green grasses rippling in the winds are just a diffrent kind of sea..Thank you for sharing your home with us... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v519/Dara286/trident01-11.png If you got a dream chase it, cause a dream won't chase you back...(Cody Johnson Till you Can't)

Silkie McDonough Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 ::wide eyed:: : : : : What a beautiful place! ::heavy sigh:: I need to get out of here more often. How the heck did I end up in Jersey?!
William Brand Posted June 23, 2006 Author Posted June 23, 2006 Not bad photography mate,but I still perfer the surroundings to have some ocean front to one side. I understand. Where are you from?
William Brand Posted January 15, 2007 Author Posted January 15, 2007 I'm still hoping for more pirates out this way.
Guest Guest Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 I finally found a pirate crew in Cache Valley under one Captain Legrand. Quite by accident, but I have found one. Now I'm just waiting for them to join the Pub so that I can buy them a round.
William Brand Posted December 11, 2009 Author Posted December 11, 2009 Just sending out messages in bottles again.
Captain McCool Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 Ahoy, mate! So other than meself, I know that my Quartermaster, Malachai Armstrong has just joined the Pub, who hails from Castle Rock, CO. I did notice there were some other forum members from Colorado, but most have not been active for quite a while. I do know Sir Nigel recently moved back here though, as he did caricatures for us at this past Buccaneer Bash. As for Utah, Wyoming, and the other Rocky Mountain states, I'm afraid I don't know that many other pirates from around here/there, either. Captain Jack McCool, landlocked pirate extraordinaire, Captain of the dreaded prairie schooner Ill Repute, etc. etc. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ "That’s what a ship is, you know.

Captain McCool Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 (edited) Incidentally, this is a brilliant song by Tom Lewis that I must share. I think you'll appreciate it: Poor old landlocked sailor, washed-up on the shore, Never been so many miles from the sea before, Is he dreaming of the surging tide, the rolling swell? Is he dreaming of the ocean? No - is he hell! Chorus: He's a happy landlocked sailor living in the trees, He swapped the roaring tide-race for the mountain breeze, With his wife he lives in paradise in the Rockies of B.C., How I wish that happy landlocked sailor could be me. He finds that on the lake he's never bothered by the tide, All his navigation is done on the mountainside, Waves of ocean-blue have changed to waves of forest-green, White horses into snow-capped peaks as far as can be seen. He used to sail the sea-lanes to exotic ports-of-call, Now he cruises dusty roads down to the local mall, His roving day are over, his feet upon the shore, He's never going back, he's on dry-land for evermore. (Now you know that happy landlocked sailor's really me.)
