Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

i bet we have all seen names of roads or cities or stuff that has made us giggle or say, kewl. here are a couple

(this thing goes out of its way to correct my spelling or grammar but do you think it can capitalize when I want it to?)

These are some roads in California  

New Horizons Way - Vacaville, CA.

Arrow Route - San Bernardino, CA (maybe)

Hammer Lane - Stockton(ish) CA

Salsipuedos Street in Santa Barbara is one of my favorites. In Spanish it means "get out if you can".

The infamous Zzyzx Road in San Bernardino.

The Salida Exit off Hwy 99. Salida is a small town in the Central Valley. Salida means exit in Spanish

Tucson has numbered avenues and streets near downtown. I once met my mom to go shopping on the corner of 6th and 6th!

Have a great weekend.

In Arkansas you'll find Toad Suck Park. In California there is Manteca which is Spanish for lard. Originally it was Monteca but the railroad made an error on their tickets and it stuck.

How about, Two Egg, FL or Arab, AL.


I been driving too long. I've seen most of the places listed above.

Oklahoma has a lot of names from Native American sources, but there are also a bunch of names that are strange or definitively different.  Just to name a few:

Bug Tussle

Byng

Boise City (while not a strange name due to Boise, ID, Boise City is pronounced differently - more like "boyce," like "joyce)

Gotebo

Little

Nowata

Pink

As we travel I like to make up stories about how a town or road got it's name....

BuckSnort- can't remember what state but obviously the town folk were trying to decide on a name and that's when they heard a Buck snort.

Corn Springs a road in Calif.- Wagon train stopped at a spring on the way west. Someone spilled some seed corn, a few months later another wagon train came by and corn was ready to pick so they named it Corn Springs.

Independence, CA.- This was a stretch. Farmer had visited the town fair. Each year at the fair they hold a dance in one of the stock pens. The best dancer whens a piglet. The farmer was walking home with the piglet he won in his arms and a land developer was headed towards town. When they met each other on the road the developer asked where the farmer got the pig. The farmer replied " In Da' Pen Dance"

Box Springs another road in Calif.- Wagon train stopped at a spring on the way west and next to the springs was an old metal box spring mattress discarded by another wagon train.

If you're coming into Newberry, SC, from the south, you'll encounter a road sign that points to Clinton to the west-northwest and Prosperity to the east-southeast. A few administrations ago, this was really funny.

Bucksnort is in TN - just west of Nashville on I-40. I haven't been to TN in years but there used to be a big commercial fishing lake there.

Dismal Nitch is the name of a cove along the lower Columbia River in Washington State, notable as the Lewis and Clark Expedition's last campsite before sighting the Pacific Ocean. Today it is a rest stop on the Washington State Route 401 highway just east of the Astoria-Megler Bridge.

Jerry,

As a lesson for you (and anyone else reading this), if you click on the "Quote" button at the upper right of the forum comment, it will then show that comment and you can make your comments immediately after the comment you are referencing.  (This comment of mine is an example.  I "Quoted" your last comment.  Note that your quote is in between the two horizontal lines with your username just above.)  This is also a good way to reply to someone else's comment.  I've seen folks offer their thanks in a comment but without a quoted comment to which they are referring, one never knows for sure who it is that is being thanked.

Terry

Perhaps more weird than cool, but in NJ there is a nice street called "Shades of Death Road". Oh, and a place called Mt. Misery. I don't think I wanna know how they got their names!
