Where do they call home?
« on: May 12, 2010, 04:45:44 PM »
Hi, newbie here.  Well, new to the forums.  I've been in love with these books since I picked up The Visitor at my sixth grade book fair back in '96.

Anyway, I'm sure this has been debated to death, so if someone could just point me toward an exhausted thread, I'll shut up about it.  But I've been rereading the books, thanks to the ebooks on this site, and have been trying to piece together where the story takes place.  If it's a real place at all.

It's by the ocean.
The weather is warm most of the time.
There are mountains nearby.

Once, when I was much younger, I took a look at all the morphs they had acquired from Cassie's barn, and looked up what area of the country all these animals had in common.  I came up with Washington state, but the climate isn't quite right.  I have it in my head that it's the West coast somewhere, but I'm partial to the Pacific.

Thoughts?  Links?

Damn, they do?  Well.  That's a fail on my part.  I thought I would've remembered.  I'm on 51, I'll be there soon enough.

Thanks :)

That was my top guess, based on paying attention to clues.  But I haven't read that book in so long, I'd forgotten they'd said it.

it's not in that city exactly: in 51 when they fly to the capital it takes hours: longest they've ever flown, so obviously it's a fair distance out side of there.
[spoiler]popular guess is so cal, my guess is either somewhere north of LA, possibly (cuz I live there and what it to be) Nor Cal, toward the south end[/spoiler]

I really don't know California all that well.  I'm from Idaho, myself, but only ever went to California when I was about three.

Never been to Emmet, but I have friends from there.  Boise's awesome, I think.  Lived in the same house my entire life in Southeast Boise.
