-First, I've read the places everyone has lived-& found all fascinating. I grew up in South Miami, FL, but loved GA and all those trees and mountains. While in GA met my husband, had a family and thought we'd be there forever. But husband's job brought us to So Cal where most of our mountains have no trees. We've fallen in love with OR- lots of trees and mountains. The only prerequisite is a coast line. So the saga continues.
