The Utah badlands. Without a doubt the most undesirable place I have ver been.

Now let me tell you, I have been an "outdoorsy" person all my life. I grew up in a log cabin a 100 miles from anywhere. I have spent weeks in the wilds of deserts and mountains living off the land. That said, I would not like to spend so much as 24 hours in that place! A very stange place in my opinion, like out of a Tolkien book.

Harlan, Kentucky. Described to me once as "the last place God took a sh**." Illiteracy, high rates of morbid obesity, truancy and high rates of highschool drop-outs, meth labs galore, a pentecostal church on every other corner and a holiness church on the other corners, ugly prostitutes, litter, and junk cars everywhere. Yet with all this the ultimate punishment is that it is a dry county and you can't get alcohol. One must be sober to enjoy the last place that God relieved himself. Oh yea, genetic anomolies galore from inbreeding. Sorry to leave that one out.

Oslo TORP.

The 'Torp' part is very important because it means it is not at all in the city Oslo in Norway.

Quite pretty actually, just seems something from Kansas in the Wizard of Oz. Big bales of hay and all that.

PS: It is called Oslo Torp so that EasyJet can fool customers into thinking they are flying into the city Oslo. It is atleast one hour away by car and there is nothing but an airport in Oslo 'Torp'.

No doubt, Athol, ID. Full of meth labs and rednecks. Of course the Aryan Nations used to be just a few miles down the road in Hayden Lake. The Lion's Den, a big Ultimate Fighting Championship training school, is close by too. My brothers have described some of their activities back there. Whole friggin town full of thugs and dope fiends. There is Silverwood, a small, but pleasant theme park that lies 1/4 mile outside of town. It's like cheap compensation for all the people too poor to go to Disney World. But I guess that's poverty for ya.

Though it has already been mentioned, it bears repeating: Lubbock, Texas. Luckily, we left there before I had time to finish making the noose for my neck......
The Staten Island ferry boat landing-station at 1:45 am. very scary.
10th avenue in NYC at night (between 50th and 40th)
Most of the places I have been lost

they are all the same , aren't they?
You could blindfiold a person and put them in most any town in the USA, and they would have no idea where they are. Why? Because they would be surrounded by every fast food chain store all looking exactly alike. America has lost a greast deal of its beauty because of the all mighty dollar.

Sounds about a stupid as a friend of mine (fellow RHPer) who tried to buy coke off a gang of crackheads in Brazil. A quick robbery, and sprint for life swiftly followed, amazingly enough.

You there friend of mine?? 😛

BTW: The most godforsaken place I've been to is Daytona Beach, Florida. What a dump? Living in mudhuts 5000meters up in the Andes of Bolivia with no running water was less bleak than Daytona.

Who'd think that crackheads would be interested in criminal behaviour? In my day crackheads tipped their hat at you when you walked by.
