100 things you don't know about living in the mountains...

There is NO middle road when it come to mountain living. The FIRST 12 or18 months will either allow you to follow in love with this
way of life and you could NOT imagine living any other way OR you will want to get the hell down the mountain as soon as humanly
possible,slapping your forehead "what the he-- was I ever thinking!" :bash :bash :bash

After an Upslope, beer runs out. But food...there is always something in the back of the pantry you haven't seen in years thats still edible.

Or the local peacock.

If you leave all the windows open in your house at night in early June, you'll freeze your tush off when you get up in the morning.

You are a lot more popular with your flat-lander friends in the summer and fall than in the winter and spring.

JUST FOR GRINS.......terrific thoughts for the 'newbies'.......note the start date of the thread.

Once I had an ancient t-shirt that stated 'ALLERGIC TO CITIES''.....I wore it to shreds and it
became a rag at pine pollen season.

IF you see a deer crossing road, pay MORE attention...there are usually three or more in a group.
SO WAIT, a few more seconds.
