places we are so insane that we think are warps into middle-earth

Irelend, yep, definitely. I was there in '85. There's a place in the Wicklow mountains, called St. Steven's Kitchen, that is an ideal Rivendell. (I can't think of the proper name) In the west of Ireland there's an area called the Burren that reminded me of the Emyn Muil, and many, many open fields that reminded me of the fields of Rohan. They do raise some fine horses there.

The Great Smokeys in Tenessee look just like the Misty Mountains.

In may back-yard there's a very old male mulberry tree that has huge groping roots and a nasty, old gnarled trunk that you would swear has a face. I call him Old Man Mulberry after you-know-who. Yes, he is male. Mulberrys have male and female plants. *Rambling a bit* His wife lives at the other end of the yard, and she produces some nice, sweet fruit every June. She's so tall, I can't harvest enough for wine, and the birds get to them so quickly. *Getting hungry*

Great thread.
