I was shocked how hilly Tallahassee is.

Pretty hilly in north central Florida too. I live 100+ ft above sea level.

We're blessed to have just about every environment in one country and freely travel from somewhere with a Mediterranean climate to somewhere with an arctic climate and everything in between.

For now.

Look how completely flat Louisiana is

All I have is an Instagram page, but I'll throw in the OP for everyone to use.

La. is flatter than taylor swift.

When people ask me about the terrain of La. I always tell them the land is so flat you can watch your dog run away for 5 days.

Glacier National Park is up against the Canadian border, I don't see anything that looks high enough for it.

---

The tallest mountain in glacier national park is ~10,000 ft with most other tall peaks in the 8,000 ft range. I think glacier gives a false impression of being taller than it is because the mountains are extremely steep with sheer rock faces.

Mount Whitney in California is higher than anything else in the lower 48. Front range of Colorado is shown as higher.

Mt. Whitney is kinda out by itself and there’s a couple of white specs in California that could be it. Hard to tell.

I think Kansas is officially the flattest state, though Florida has to be really close. There was a study once where someone took a pancake and scaled it up to the size of Kansas and compared the topography. The state of Kansas is literally flatter than a pancake.

I doubt this. Have you ever been to Kansas? Eastern Kansas appears very flat but the elevation is still relatively high. Western Kansas is still farmland but it is deceptively large rolling hills. I’ve driven across the entire state east to west on I-70. Not fun but it’s not as flat as people think. Florida likely holds that honor.

She does nothing for me. Also I will always remember when she first started and was doing country her live performances sounded like complete shite and she would sing completely out of tune. I don’t think she just got better, she’s just artificial and filtered.

I grew up on "Old School" country and that his what I associate country music to. This newer stuff is shite and more country/pop than country. Hell, some of it actually sounds like rap done in a country twang.

I know of the gal and have heard a few of her songs but really could not name a single song by title if my life depended on it. I find her music to be all about the same as in, you hear one or two songs, you've pretty much heard them all.

I know this place hates Cali but Lord the Sierra Nevadas and that vicinity is incredible. Has everything within a drive imaginable.

California is beautiful, it’s just the people suck. My experience is limited to NoCal but until you get to the Bay Area it’s shadier than anywhere else I’ve ever been. Redwood trees are the most incredible thing I’ve ever seen in person though.
