To be fair...
I grew up in Tahoe and lived most of my life in the mountains of California, Oregon, and Idaho. I never understood NASCAR, 500 channels of cable TV, cruiser motorcycles, Bass Pro Shop, Cabelas, wild pig hunting, tractor pulls, “muddin’” and all those “redneck” things coastal liberals hate, until I actually moved to Wichita Falls Texas. There was so little to do (at least what I was use to) you understand why these things are popular in that part of the country. It’s fun. And that’s just what you do. While flyover country can do just fine without the coastal ‘betters’ they would die in 3 days without us. They will dictate what a farmer in Oklahoma can plant on his property all while calling the farmer stupid for not doing what the smart people do. “What do we need farmers for? I just get my food at the Organic Co-Op grocery store.”
“I grew up in Tahoe”
Must have been before they put in the Cabelas at Exit 4 Navada side.
So close but so far. I am a half hour EAST of Reno and it is a completely different planet.
