Wood County

Yesterday it occurred to me that while growing up in a county named Wood, I never took the time to appreciate the inherent humor in the name. Now 26 years after leaving there, I wonder how in the world it is that I do not have a "Welcome to Wood County" sign on my garage wall. Next time I go back there I will be on the lookout.

I grew up in Bourbon county. My favorite beverage

I alway forget how funny Goochland is until someone from out of town comes

Big Bone Lick State Park. Im not from the area, i do enjoy the sign along I-75 when i pass through.

I always got a kick out of Tallapoosa when I see the sign on my way to Mississippi.

Ah, yes. Land of the Gooch. Nice place. I once watched a polo match there.

I work in Transylvania County. Lots of locals with bumper stickers of bats. There are also numerous places that look like this.

Lived here years ago..

I always thought I-75 Exit 69 for Big Beaver seemed intentional... people new to the area seem to get a kick out of it.

On I-64 between Lexington and Louisville you can find a spot called Grafenburg.....but you have to know where to look. Worth finding though I've been told.

LOL.

In reply to T.J.:

What's the "J" stand for?

Your last name's not Johnson, is it??

I live pretty close to Climax, GA

We've also got Ideal, Between, and Pitts

For you Biblical folks, I'm pretty close to Ephesus, Shiloh, and Siloam.

And I don't think I will ever understand what they were thinking when they named a place Gluck, or Ty Ty.

this has become my favorite thread

I recently drove through Beaver, Utah.

We're planning to get out to Transylvania County this year and do some exploring.

Lizard Lick, NC is still one of the more amusing places I drive through from time to time. I keep meaning to catch the National Hollerin' Contest.

There are 99 counties in Iowa, most of generally equivalent sizes.

Pottawattamie County though, is about twice the size, east-west as the others. We think it's so they could fit the name on the map.

On the way up to Alpine Valley WI there is Bong Recreational Area----- They had a hard time holding onto that sign whenever the Grateful Dead would play.

There are 2 rivers in the carolinas named the Greater Pee Dee and Lesser Pee Dee.

In PA we have the towns of Beaver and Shartsville.

In reply to SVreX:

LOL, no, I'm not a Wood County Johnson. J is my middle initial not for my last name.

In reply to T.J.:

Good. Thanks for clarifying. I thought it was important for us to know.

Let us not forget Intercourse PA.

Or Ickesburg and Josephine.

PA also has BlueBall

The kicker on that one is it lies between "Blueball" and "paradise".

No joke

Edit: Mad beat me to it

We have a Hixville here in mass.
