    Not a skier, but love to hike. Probably spring or fall would be best when it’s not so hot.

It snows yesterday and all night, but the temps are riding, so tomorrow it will be almost 60 and everything will melt. Almost spring … until the next cold snap!

  We don’t see 60 anymore. Rode home thru a blizzard yesterday (short lived, 4 more inches of snow). Without my snow-blower I would have died years ago.

    Gatlinburg Tennessee. I bought it in 2011. It’s legal to sell there. At that time there was one place selling it. When I was there in October there were a bunch of new stores opened up and selling it. Really good stuff!

I gather than looking at these beautiful summertime photos helps get through the bleakest – and full-on, snowblowin’ – days, and reminds you also that one day you’ll see flowing water and lush green trees once again 😉

Looks great, any bears out there? We were in the Rockies with friends on the hottest day and stopped by a creek like this, it was like a giant air conditioner as the water rushed by.

  There are some black bears up there but they are seldom seen. Mountain lions as well. And once there was a Boomdee, but she slipped in and out undetected.
