Intercourse, Pennsylvania!

Yes, it is a real place!

Intercourse, Pennsylvania (pop. roughly 1,000) is an unincorporated village in Leacock Township, Lancaster County in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania. It is ten miles east of Lancaster along PA 340. The village is located within the 17534 ZIP code, 717 area code, and 768 local phone code.

As with the nearby towns of Bird-in-Hand, Pennsylvania, Blue Ball, and Paradise, Pennsylvania, Intercourse is a popular site for tourists on account of its location in "Amish country". Its name has acquired sexual connotations unrelated to the reasons the village was named. Sign posts for the town are frequently targeted by thieves.

Apart from and despite its name, Intercourse is also famous for its Amish communities. For this reason the movie Witness was filmed in Intercourse and For Richer or Poorer was set there, though not filmed in Intercourse.

Embarrass Township is a township in St. Louis County, Minnesota, United States. The population is about 691. It has a nickname of "THE COLD SPOT", having a low temperature of -54 degrees in 2005.

The township name Embarrass was derived from the French word "embarras" based on its meaning of "to hinder with obstacles or difficulties". It was given this name by the French fur traders who were some of the first Europeans to visit the area, and who found the narrow, shallow river very difficult to navigate, and named the river "Embarras"

Indianapolis is the capital of the U.S. state of Indiana, and the county seat of Marion County, Indiana. The United States Census estimated the city's population, excluding the included towns, at 798,382 in 2008. It is Indiana's largest city and is the 14th largest city in the U.S., the third largest city in the Midwest (behind Chicago and Detroit), the second most populous state capital (behind Phoenix, Arizona), and the largest state capital east of the Mississippi River. It is one of two state capitals that share their names with their states (The other is Oklahoma City).

For much of its history, Indianapolis oriented itself around government and industry, particularly manufacturing. Today, Indianapolis has a much more diversified economy, contributing to the fields of education, health care, and finance. Tourism is also a vital part of the economy of Indianapolis, and the city plays host to numerous conventions and sporting events. Of these, perhaps the most well known is the annual Indianapolis 500 mile race. Other major sporting events include the Brickyard 400 (formerly the "Allstate 400 at the Brickyard") and the Men's and Women's NCAA Basketball Tournaments.

The Town of Dillon in Summit County, Colorado,...... Dillon , Frisco, and Silverthorne are three quaint mountain towns conveniently located within minutes of Summit County's four world-class ski resorts. Arapahoe Basin, Breckenridge, Copper Mountain and Keystone offer a variety of skiing experiences for every member of the family, regardless of snowriding ability. Winter fun includes cross-country skiing on miles of touring trails, snowmobiling, ice skating, sleigh rides and for the extra adventurous, heli-skiing. Summertime is why the locals live here; with hundreds of miles of paved biking trails, hiking trails, Mtn biking trails, scenic Lake Dillon and a myriad of shops and restaurants to enjoy, you won't be bored in Summit County!

During My bike Excursion we took a rest day and camped on Dillion Lake in a vast park sandwiched between Silverthorne and Frisco. This was an Ideal stop over location because we were able to do things like laundry and actually eat restaurant food instead of what we usually had to prepare over a camp stove. This is a very Beautiful area.
