Live near any fantasy-sounding places? List 'em here!

[Kae'Yoss]

I like the name of the "Great Bear Rainforest" and Mount Garibaldi makes me think of the domain of some delightfully insane nobleman. Doesn't that also have some huge rock called The Black Tusk, or something?

Mount Garibaldi? A place for paranoid drinkers maybe?

Temple Lake
Shield Lake
Leprechaun Lake
Talisman Lake
Sprite Lake
Rune Lake
Lake Reya

I take it noone in your area is a big sprinter for more than 50 yards - because you can't run more than that without falling into a lake. But everyone learns to swim before they learn to crawl? And every once in a while, a fat italian-looking guy swims by in a frog suit?

I'm willing wager that that "maybe" isn't a "maybe" at all.

There's a section of the Cascades (named after numerous waterfalls) mountain range called the Alpine Lakes Wilderness. There's hundreds of mountain lakes there, and one particularly...guarded section called The Enchantments. The Forest Service has different names for the lakes there, but everyone still calls them by their more "mystical" names. Heh, if only they were 50 yards apart! It would save me a lot of hiking!

Typically the fat Italian-looking guys are in Redmond releasing teeny-tiny trickles of Nintendo Wiis to punish the world. Of course, when the only way you have the crates loaded onto trucks is a giant gorilla throwing them on, a lot of product gets damaged.

Some more places in Oregon: The Three Sisters, Bull of the Woods Wilderness, Hells Canyon, Rogue River

Grouse Mountain in Vancouver is kind of a neat name.

British Columbia is often called "Land of the Lotus Eaters", which is a reference to Greek mythology I've always liked.

Speaking of British Columbia, how about Blackcomb Ski Resort?

Dungeon Module B1: Assault on Blackcomb

I never even considered this probably because I'm so familiar with it. But the street I live on:

Xenwood

 

[Ferret]

There a two pretty cool street names in my small town. They are Riverdale, and Gully shoot. How awesome is that?

 

[Pyoor]

I always liked the name of the 'Ironbound' district in Newark, NJ.

Also in NJ:

Blackwood
Brass Castle
Forked River (pronounced For Ked River)
Long Valley
Neptune
Oak Valley
Ramblewood
Red Bank
Ringwood
Ship Bottom
Vineland
White Horse

Upon reviewing these names, the names of my fantasy towns don't seem so lame!

Over in PA, near Washington's Crossing is Bowman's Hill. There is a monument there called 'Bowman's Hill Tower'. I always envisioned the colonial army firing their longbows against a horde of redcoast wearing orcs.

I can't really compete with the great place names I've seen above but I live only a few minutes walk from the London Dungeon.

 

[Cthulhudrew]

There was a section of town back in Indianpolis where I used to live called Ravenswood. Scary place if you went in there late at night. Overhanging trees, down by the White River. It reminded me of images of the Louisiana bayou.

I can't really compete with the great place names I've seen above but I live only a few minutes walk from the London Dungeon.

Hey, I like that thing. Been there the last few times I was in London.

Bloody Basin

Phoenix
