I don't hate the beach. I just wouldn't choose to go spend 4-5 days on vacation there if it were my choice. I really enjoy it for about 5 hrs

I hate the beach. The sand everywhere drives me crazy. It gets in everything. It’s glitter Of the outdoors world. I’ll go to a pool but frick the beach. I’ll drink by the pool Where I can find some shade where I’m not dehydrating within 20 min and dying of a headache.

He has to just mean the kid got carsick. Hell, much of the Great Plains states are at a higher actual altitude than any mountain areas where you would stay in Tennessee.

I look forward to visiting a nice beach halfway through our shitty winters.

Normally I visit Hawaii but frick them right now. So, here I come Florida.

It's easier to appreciate when your over 3k miles away from the closest nice beach.

I've got mountains in my life the rest of the time.

I went up to Rainier NP yesterday for some snowshoeing. Great weather and a bad arse day.

You'll find it appeals to poors mostly, which is the majority of this board.

I'm going out on a limb and assuming you like the Rocky Mountains?

Is that accurate?

Thanks!

As for car sickness - I wouldn’t call it car sickness bc we had already been in the car for two days. So I would’ve thought the queasy feeling would’ve came on earlier, and we’ve taken many car trips.

My mom got sick in the ‘mountains’ of El Paso when I was a kid

I guess it’s because we are from below sea level

I agree OP.

To each his own, but I would rather do pretty much anything else.

I can lay around and do nothing at my house any time I want, for free.

I think the actual elevation there can be pretty legit.

I’ve honestly never heard of anyone having altitude issues in Tennessee.

I like both

I agree. I enjoy scuba diving and skiing. It just depends on the mood for a particular vacation. I love them both.

Yes, mountain ranges out west.
Don't really consider most of the Appalachians mountains

He started barfing in Maggie Valley - and clingman’s dome is only about 500’ lower than the mountains in El Paso

Clingman’s dome is NC - not really sure if the state makes a difference

Think it straddles the line between the two. That’s wild, though.
