How did you live in NC and not go to the mountains? Granted they aren't the Rockies, but they were once upon a time! And, Mitchell is over 6,000 feet, so that's nothing to sneeze at!

But Washington State takes the prize for most dramatic mountain scenery. On clear summer mornings I'd be on my way to work with Mt. Rainier & the Cascades in my rearview mirror, and the Olympic Mtns way ahead of me. I miss it so much. To have mountains, rainforests and ocean all in one place is amazing.JoJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165375435543044068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-24173963555591969522018-10-11T12:16:19.970-04:002018-10-11T12:16:19.970-04:00Hi Jo - travel across the country and the Rockies ...Hi Jo - travel across the country and the Rockies are just here ... land in Vancouver - mountains galore ... but understand travelling places without the energy and too much in the pocket makes that unlikely.

I met a woman a few years back who works on internet crime and apparently what the hackers want is to keep collecting addresses which they can then use to send mass emails to crash some big organisation's network at a crisis time - they can then demand money in return for fixing it ... or something like that ... It seems never ending. Filhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09027496923235464642noreply@blogger.com
