I've had enough

[livinoutdoors]

It gets daylight at 530 up at the shack. I am an early bird otherwise I would have to black out the bedroom. Some long days in July. We are not in the biggest of mountains but lots of things never see sunlight up there even when it is sunny and 85.

Sounds like ya got a good spot.

 

[NCHillbilly]

Yup a shack on a north facing slope in a deep holler would prob kill me ded.

You could grow sang and ramps.

You could grow sang and ramps.

And white snek root!

The old house we got is for the maw in law until she dies, we just use it as a place to stay for the summer and times of the year. A 140 year old house needs someone living it.

We can't purchase our final place until we sell out in GA next year but I'll be able to pee off the porch in any direction.

It's the beauty of the mountains and most importantly, the people that we love. Seeing people do random acts of kindness is something that much of the south has lost. I know down in the gnat, snek and gator area this still happens, but this is mostly long gone in many parts.

My wife's uncle who is a diehard democrat (we dont do politics, love the guy even though we dont see eye to eye on gvt) was complaining this last trip up like I have never heard. Sang has been taken over by corporations (selling it).

He was on on a roll!!!

Yeah it’s GON inbig towns and near them. People are too distracted. There’s nothing magic as far as down here or in the mountains that makes people act different. It’s the absence of big towns.

Yep. Everywhere rural I've been in this country, from the deep South to the upper Midwest, people are good and about the same away from the cities.

It's what cows crave!

It's snowing right now in Colorado.

Well yea if you live on top of a mountain

I just picked a place at random, and the high for Grand Junction Colorado tomorrow is 85 degrees, so it’s all dependent.

I’m a flat lander anyway, I like big huge mostly flat fields. I like to look at mountains and visit them, just don’t want to live on one.

I couldn't live somewhere without trees.

Agree 100% on that

I grumble about the heat, but we have good hunting and fishing, not far from fine saltwater fishing, a good growing season, and since gnats, snakes, bugs, and alligators don`t bother me, I`ll finish out my time right here in God`s Country.

A lot of that is all the com'eers from big cities, VA was awesome in the early 90s, not so much 2009/11, didn't have the friendly feel it used to.

I hate the heat, like it @ 60 to 70. TX, AL, NC, AZ and GA (minus the mountains) were way to hot for me.

It has snowed up here the first week in June, don't plant until 1st of June for fear of frost, which still is a possibility.

You can allways put more clothes on, can only take so much off

 

[fireman32]

South Ga heat rough on a fireman when he has to actually work. I dont mind the heat or gnats to much, but you best believe when I’m working on a cotton picker we gon find a shade tree somewhere. If I had to complain, it’s the not being able to dry off when you’re working that’s no fun.

 

[Buck70]

Hate the constant feeling of wet clothes from June through September.

My son is stationed in San Diego now, and he hates it. That's one of the main reasons.

Spent 5 years serving uncle Sam in the desert out west. High rates of alcohol, drug, child, spousal abuse. Very depressing.

Yeah the desert is neat to see on a trip but then its like ok buh bye.

 

[livinoutdoors]

You couldnt ask for a better place in the world to live. Rolling hills run into mountains. Flat plains fade into the sea. Huge wonderful old oaks on the edge of a green pasture. A dark cove forest where hardly any light reaches the floor. A small farm tucked tween pine plantations. A quiet lake at the edge of a steady flowing river. We have it all down yonder.

When we bought land in 2019, if we pulled up to a tract and didn’t see huge old oak trees somewhere on it, it was always “nope” Trees where just about as important as location
