Welcome from Roscoe, Illinois. Is that truly the name of your town?????
Yeah, I live on Rough and Ready Rd in Rough and Ready, CA! You should see what I have to go every time I have to give someone my address over the phone. I've had people think I was giving them a fake address.
This is an old mining town, only about 1,200 people here now. It's famous (well, at least in Gold Country it is) for succeeding from the union and becoming its own country for about eight months in the late 1800s.
I love it!!! My ex-hubands family was from Placerville. Originally called "Old Hang Town". Thanks for responding. I kind of mentally collect town names. This is the best!
