Ark Encounter
Looking at this probably the week of the 4th of July. What else to do? Where to stay? It will be just my wife and I. Thanks, John

No sir - I'm with you. I sure do wish folks would use english and not make up their own abbreviations!!
cruiserjs... I see your from Arizona. I feel for you with the abbreviations. Lots of discussion happen on these forums that deal with places and location West of the Mississippi. Some of us East of the Mississippi have no clue what's being discussed sometimes because of the acronyms and abbreviations.
Fortunately, when I saw Ark Encounter in the post title, I knew exactly what that was. Actually, it's drawn quite a bit of notoriety in my part of the woods, as did the Creation Museum when was first built.
I have my difficulty with locations and terms native to other parts of the country too. It's kind of like phone numbers. 777-7777 ... um ... what area code? especially since everything is so mobile these days!
I can't imagine what some of the forum members from Austrilia or Europe think when we get to rambling about some place and never clearly state where it's at. It took me about 2 years (just recently) to finally figure out what OBX was. And I'd been there in my past. OBX = Outer Banks of North Carolina. Who would of thought. For the longest time I thought they were discussion areas in Arizona or Nevada. It took me a long, long time to figure out what "Slab City" was. And even longer to figure out where it was. So you know, we're all victims of partial information.
