Hi Rockers! I`m just curious. If you could go back in time where would you go? There`s two that stands out in my mind,1-I`d go back to the west in 1849 and be a general store owner,and 1955
the best Rock N Roll year ever......Rocky

Rocky,
1873. Yukon Territories.
I would live off the land. How I yearn to see an unknown body of water without an access road, or six pack wrapper.
Too many people.

Very cool question Rocky. First part is not tough as I'm with you. Since our ranch sits right smack in the middle of the 49'er period goldmines, I'd love to see those old towns like they were when they were wild and roaring, gunfights in the streets etc. Have to have a second and third choice too though. #2 Any period when swordplay was the vogue ( Maybe the period of the British east India Company in India) as I've always had a love for fancy blade work and #3 The Victorian period when exploring and collecting anything and everything was all the vogue, One could live a life of high adventure and explore the scary wilds to one's hearts content. *LOL* Though, since I hate disease, parasites and such and have had a stinking cold for four weeks off and on, maybe nowdays ain't that bad at all. At least we can currently survive most these maladies and live lots longer. In the olden days disease and such were really the pits!..Mel

I'd go back to when I was a kid. Living in a small town, going to the beach everyday or spending time at the malt shop (right across the street from the beach). Man, if only I knew, those were the days. The music of the 50's and early 60's was the best.

Ah, the fifties were nice. When I look back, everything seemed so uncrowded. Each family only had like one car and life was so much simpler *sigh* Good times all right!....mel

Can I say back when I was being breast fed? Sorry.
I'd like to go back to the early 1800's live in a wooden cabin on a mountian, being a trapper and living from the land with no one around but nature and me.

I want to see things before humans.... not really to stay (for more than a few weeks- a year). To explore before we started changing things...before the Rio Grande, before the Colorado Rivers were dammed, before we started blasting off the tops of mountains to build multi-million dollar mansions....

im with the old mountain crowd here.....when going to my grandparents in saluda north carolina....it was just so darn peaceful.
the big trip of the weekend was going to the new otasco store....i beleive ;D.
but the old wood cabins remained...and the ways of the old did truly remain for the most part....at the time.
i could see myself on that mountain in a cabin....living off the land ;D...heck...i wish it was possible today...kev.

Easy, I would go back to 1976 and assasinate Bill Gates... You know, not because I hate the guy, but just to see what would happen and how that would change things for better or worse...  |

LOL - the world would be overrun by Macs! See - if I was just visiting I'd have different answers. If I was staying, well...do I have a say in the amount of money I have? Can I bring modern medicine along? By default - it would be the age of exploration as well. However, I'd want time to explore rather than keep a cabin clean... |

Shoot Lcars, that brings up a good one. Go back in time and buy a bunch of stock in Microsoft, Apple, Google etc. That would be a bit of all right *L*....mel

i'm with Arkansan, if it were just a little vacation into the past, i think i could enjoy it. but i'm much too fond of hot, running water, soap and toothpaste to stay in the not so distant past for any length of time.
