I agree. I won't deny my sentimentality. When I see the peaks and valleys of Appalachia, I feel a peace and belonging that I don't get in places that are objectively more beautiful.
There’s an abstract quality to being on land that has drank the blood and eaten the bones of your ancestors. An innate quality of roots put down, that intangible thing we call “being home.”
It’s being to look at a tree your great grandfather planted. The crumbling chimney of the house that your distant progenitor built brick by brick with his own two hands when he came to this land a stranger. Now a monument to his progeny.
It’s something only generations in the soil can create. Something hauntingly beautiful.

I just got back from the colorado rockies and it's beautiful and great and the weather is perfect and no humidity and then....
Winter comes.
Cold so bad, it's physically painful. Cold so bad it feels like electricity touching your skin.
You don't want it man.
I'll take 85 degrees at 7am and humidity like a wet towel, any day over those western winters and you know what? So would alot of those frickers too, that's why so many of them move down here.

shite, the heat can kick your arse, too. A 68 degree sun at 10,000 feet feels like 95 degrees down here. The air itself feels perfect, but you feel the sun boring down on you.

Definitely. Tell everyone that. Get the frick out of here. If I have to deal with anymore assholes on I65 from Indiana, Ohio, Wisconsin, Illinois, New York, or Pennsylvania clogging up the fricking lanes I will end up committing murder.
Oh I see you, Bama driver. Stop tailgating me, bro.

Exactly how I feel here, it's my spiritual center. SE AK is the size of Florida with 70,000 ppl. Mild winters, warm to cool summers, incredibly abundant wildlife, clean air and water. This is Tee Harber where my cabin is located.

Get the frick out of the left lane. Speed limit signs don't count for shite.

What kind of wildlife comes across you there? Bears and moose? Would be awesome to sit back and observe

There's truth to that.
I've spent summer in roswell new mexico. I much prefer the wet heat to the dry heat. You don't sweat as much in dry heat and consequently, you over heat really easily. And yeah, it bears down on you and there's never any cloud cover.

But then I'll get stuck behind a truck, and I hate getting stuck behind trucks. If you get any closer, I'm gonna hit the brakes.

I was in a cabin right outside rocky mountain national park.
As a matter of fact, i saw the biggest black bear i've ever seen hauling arse. A cow moose and two babies, bull elk and mule deer in velvet.

Follow the leader, ya know. If the dude in front of you can go 80, go 80. You're just as bad as a big rigger if you pull that inching shite. Everyone hates you.

Bham--Tuscaloosa drivers are like the worst tailgaters in the country. They do it in the right lane. They do it in the left lane. They do it if you're driving 90. They do it if you're driving 45. They don't even necessarily want to pass you. They just want to accelerate until they can't anymore. It drives me fricking crazy.

Geez man, i dunno. The good thing though about that western heat is after dark, it really cools off. Down here? It's in the 80's all night.
Don't you think though the worst of our heat is only about 3 months and the rest of the year is pretty ok? Especially when you consider how we get to wear flip flops at christmas and those folks out west are in parkas and shite?
It stays cold out there for over half the year at times.

I was just giving you a hard time, ya know. Your driving culture is difficult to adjust to. Have compassion for us newbs, please!

Been in the NE for the week and ready to get back. Boston has been as hot as home past few days with just as much humidity
The mountains were nice but people were hideous up there
