I’m finally comfortable calling them mountains. After having a cabin in the Sierras at 7200 feet, they seemed a little low. But honestly, they have a lot more personality. The “smoke” after rain is just incredible, and it brings out the view of the multiple ridges. I should’ve taken a picture today.
The Appalachians go through much of the south, so you can have your pick of the states. We pick the middle of the road, attitude wise. Hoping we would have reasonable winters and summers. It could’ve gone the other way we could’ve had the worst of both worlds. But happily, summers are fantastic compared to Bakersfield. There is humidity, but it’s not near as bad as it was in Corpus Christi. I don’t even have to put my flour in plastic bins!
Here’s a picture of our homestead from last summer. You can click on it for a bigger picture. The mountains across the way are the Holston’s. Yes, I am now calling them mountains :-). They are part of the Appalachian range. The view on the other side of our property is of the Appalachian range where the trail is. I must’ve deleted the pictures of it from my phone accidentally.
I highly recommend the people here, very conservative very religious and very kind.
