Beautiful scenery!
Both of us live in an area (mountain states) that is full of great scenery, views, riding areas, and anything connected to"The Outdoors". I can go out of my back door, by my black lava ravine, and never get on a paved road to go 12 miles to wildlife and forest refuge area, not to mention 2 lakes, 1 large (by american standards) river, and 1 killer trout stream. I don't count the partridge, pheasants, eagles, coyotes, rabbits, deer and elk, and other various critters that are at my doorstep and munching on my garden. I plant enough that "critter munchings" leave enough for canning and me, peaceful co-exist. Still gotta love it!
I dread the Calif or East-Coast influence with mega $$$ to buy "in" around here. You may be in the same mindset?
YMMV
