    Tried to figure out were that place is but I couldn´t get those coordinates to work. I ended up in the middle of the ocean east of Bahamas......
    Do you have a hint?

    Minutes after my post I think I found a way to figure out where it is.

    If your coordinates are in WGS84 your favoritplace is on the island of San Salvador. Is that true or am I completely wrong?

    Found it through www.geocaching.com
    There are 7 geocaches to find on that island.....

    Yep. Specifically, a place called "Postcard Beach".

    This may not be my "favorite" place, but I sure do tend to hang out there, a LOT. And that would be my back yard!!! I do all my testing out there. And if I've got a migrane, I'll hang out back a while to ease my head. And if I want to just get away and read a book, I'll hang out back. In warmer temps, I'll hang several of my hammocks so friends can hang with me. I keep lawn chairs out there so other's can visit too.

    As far as a "favorite" hanging spot, I really don't have one. For me, anyplace that I hang my hammock, tends to give me a really good night's sleep. The view is then just icing on the cake, so to speak. I have camped near water and I do really like the gurgleing noises you hear. Puts me right to sleep.

    On most maps Cache lake is only a speck hidden among other blue patches big enough to have names, and unless you know where to look you will never find it. But a place like Cache Lake is seldom discovered on a map. You just come on it - that is if you are lucky. Most men who travel the north woods sooner or later happen on a lake or stream that somehow they cannot forget and always want to get back to. Generally they never do go back.

    So, one of my favorite places is in a book, but I think may have I passed near it thirty years ago when I canoed in Algonquin Provincial Park. Someday maybe I'll go back and look for it.... I have been back to that book quite a few times.

    I have two favorite places - actual ones - closer to home. One I like for the name as much as anything, a little stream running into the Middle Fork of the Williams River called "Hell-for-Certain Branch". The other is Big Rough Run Trail in the Cranberry Backcountry. It has wonderful variety, and I like the whole length of it, but I'm not sure I could say why. It just speaks to my condition. These two spots are only couple of miles apart. I joke that if I ever come up missing you'll know I'm in Hell-for-Certain or on the way there.
