It's too hot and humid and there aren't any hills or real trees. Oh - You weren't asking me, were you? ;~D

And you weren't talking to me, but...
I know you left coasters don't consider our mountains to be mountains, but we're rather fond of the Blue Ridge. My cousin grew up in Southwest Virginia, but moved to Virginia Beach when her mom divorced her dad. My cousin was in high school at the time (she's in her 60s) now.
She was all depressed about leaving the mountains. Her friends said, "But Judy, we have a mountain. We'll show you."
They took her to a sand dune...
Actually you are right, I would prefer the low humidity of the left coast. Actually we have 3 different kinds of forest down here in Florida. In the north there are southern pine forests, in the south there are still some fully tropical woodlands, and here in central Florida we have subtropical forest. I am right next to the Ocala National Forest, the only subtropical national forest in the US. (Subtropical means there are pines, southern hardwoods, and palm trees. There are some really big old Oak trees there. The Yearling is set in the Ocala NF).
It isn't totally flat in central Florida, we are horsefarm country, and have a lot of rolling hills (about 100 feet above sealevel). I like your northwestern forests too, likely would like the maritime rainforest around Olympia, too!
Yeah! What she said!
