I love mountains. Up until August I had lived in Florida and had never seen anything more than a hill. I must say, they are impressive.

How do you feel about mountains? Been to any of interest?

I grew up in Denver.. I LOVE the mountains.

Except, now that I live at low elevation, I get a touch of altitude sickness when I'm camping and hiking.

I love mountains. Live right next to them. Great for motorcycle riding, hiking, offroading in trucks, camping, and hiding bodies (either alive or dead).

Born and raised in western CO, so I've been in 'em all my life.

Dallas divide, close to where I grew up:



Now I live on the front range, not in the mountains, but close to them. Mountains are awesome for playing in, but they absolutely suck for living and working in.

heh, that's not me, that's my friend. None of us did. Something about ruining the cleanest natural water in Europe wouldn't be right.

damn, i hate it when good judgement gets the better of me too. always takes the wind out of my "evil idea" sails.
