@Kstrong it was lovely but the locals find it too cold

@kwood1 as they are used to warmer weather, I'm just glad to get to the coast

@AbbeyRhode I like them if there are forests on the mountains. I also like beaches but usually crowded and I don’t care for that. Something special about being around a lot of huge trees on mountains. The air smells cleaner and more oxygen in forests too.

@itsok Opposite here.

@cherokeepatti For reals. I'd die happy. :)

@Umile a beautiful little cabin with a wood-burning stove. What a life.

@Umile best of both worlds

I can see that 👍

@jackson55 yeah. Did you go visit those places often. I always thought the Californians I knew were laid back. Well no wonder scenic spots within a short drive away. It’s easy to take road trips like that.

@cherokeepatti Lived there most of my life. I saw almost all of it by motorcycle. Rode in the Sierras often except winter.

@DavidT8899
Maine is just awesome

@Cigarguy101 My ideal winter retreat.

@CrazyMusicLover or bears or mountain lions.

@cherokeepatti Only bears here, we don't have mountain lions.

@CrazyMusicLover We had a bear come into the city about 3 years ago. First one ever. Sometimes people see mountain lions not far from here. Once at Thanksgiving on a rural porch about 3 miles away.The couple was gone do the holiday and one was laying on the porch swing and the other on the porch. Neighbors saw them

@cherokeepatti They do that, here, too. On the waterfront, there is a boat ramp, and people park there and really seem to enjoy feeding both the seagulls and the pigeons that hang out in the parking lot. We have a pigeon lady that actually gets the pigeons to land on her rolled down car window, and they eat out of her hand.

@4meAndyou When the Oklahoma City dump on the south side closes on Saturday at noon the seagulls will fly over to Moore which is a few miles away and circle over the Sam’s Club parking lot and other nearby businesses. There is a drainage canal in the area for water. They crapped up my car on a Sunday when the dump was closed, about a dozen big white craps on my burgundy color vehicle. I was disgusted by them. I wouldn’t feed a seagull if it was starving and staring me in the eyes begging for food.

@cherokeepatti Well, they do like to crap on cars...🤣🤣🤣

That's any place with a bed

@MaryDreamilton i grew up on the beach. Missed it everytime I left it. Now i can spend as much time as I want on the beach

@MaryDreamilton wise investments

@Waxfoot can’t surf in the mountains 🤣
