After who knows how many months of insufferable, humid heat, I'm absolutely loving the cold weather. Hiking is terrific, carry less water, no mosquitoes, don't overheat, can actually hike instead of staying in the air conditioning, I wish it was like this longer. As it is, and with 28 years past experience OND, it'll be hot enough to lay out in the sun in February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to be tough to live in the South - what it was like before air conditioning is hard to imagine. We lived for three years in Florida after retiring from Alaska. My mother in law's care was our motivation - the best I can say is people need to live where they need to. I'm glad Martyn and his brother got to visit Alaska - it'd be your kind of country during the summer but it's pretty demanding during winter months. Not just temperatures and weather but seriously short periods of daylight tend to get us old folks down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I hike in the heat I often think about the guys in the Civil War. They wore wool, had to walk through brambles, poison ivy, copperhead and rattlers, and in the oppressive heat. If I win the lottery I'm going back to Idaho, so looks like I'm stuck here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everywhere we went was appealing for different reasons apart from Houston but we didn't spend enough time there so I shouldn't judge the place. I know I sound mad but I would love to spend just one winter in Alaska to see the snow, darkness and feel the cold. Knowing my luck it would be the warmest, snowyless winter ever if I got to do it. Two out if three ain't bad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
