The Making of a Preacher's Family - Prep

Settings List

1. Breezy Glade is just like it sounds. It is a beautiful valley of grass, that is greener than any grass on Earth.
2. Fort Childhood is a wonderful little community, whose oldest remaining structure is a childhood fort.
3. Major Marks is known for the fifteen or so very deep cracks that run from the top to the bottom of Mount Blue Smoke. The fact that these fissures started on the mountain about the time that Matthew Marks arrived with his little family created an amazing amount of fodder for Mayor Diotrephes Broadway, who loved to quip, "Well, Preacher, you certain Major Marks on this planet, didn't you?"
4. Library End is, as the reader may have guessed, a town that is almost entirely dedicated to books and reading. It shouldn't surprise anyone that Town Hall is located at the corner of Book & Nook.
5. Joe-N-Tea is the hometown of many folks, who are thoroughly devoted to their freshly-brewed drinks. Some like coffee. Some like tea. Yet, all of these dear folks like their cups of fluid comfort to be hot. None of them are bashful about asking the barrista, "Do you mind nuking this for a minute for me? If I've still got hairs on my tongue, then it's not hot enough. Oh, and bring me back a scone when you come, too, please."
6. Primary Rocks is a curiosity. Artists flock to this town due to the configuration of boulders in all three of the primary colors. Others come bringing their preschoolers because they think the town's name refers to the best Kindergarten on the planet.
7. Stable Home is a town populated by equestrians, who tend to have marriages that last 50 to 60 years or longer. Most of the residents are pretty proud of their town's motto, "Horsin' around makes you love longer."
8. Excellent Falls is one of the best nature parks on ZoNed4. It is also one of the few places in the Galaxy to find triple-level falls from a River that makes the Amazon on Earth look small. Excellent Falls has been measured at 2 miles of falls when all three levels are considered.
9. Birch Sentinels Mountain Preserve enjoys the status of being another of ZoNed4's premier vacation spots. Located on the sides of Mount Golden Crown visitors are refreshed every day with cool breezes and brisk nights. Mountain cabins are the preferred accomodations, but the more adventuresome still stake out tents or bivoac one of the sheer cliffs, that drape the first two to three thousand feet up the mountain. There are places among the Birch Sentinels Forest in which the wise tent camper can stake out in the midst of birch trees, that are so close together in a circle formation with a gap at the mouth, that the campers are virtually protected by this fortress of sentinels.
10. Techlahoma provides the comforts of home on this planet, that is three years away by spoaceflight from Earth. Inhabited almost entirely by former Texans and Oklahomans, this unique town's residents were, also, members of Silicon Valley in California before the taxes drove these intrepid techies to the South Central states in the USA, where they started the Silicon Desert, and finally on ZoNed4, Techlahoma, the name, that incorporates all of these locations and their unifying profession.
