I blame it on all those Christmas specials that came out of Nashville with the fake snow.

On the other hand, even where you live you get far better weather than up north, as you know, since you are from the northeast. Do you still have family up there? A lot of my friends and family still don't have power.

Anyway, I hope you have a great winter Lisa. Thanks for the pic!
Snow is great on top of a mountain. Beyond that, white frozen stuff belongs in a freezer. Thank goodness I live at the bottom not the top.

Give me 'City living' anytime I live next to the Ohio River, (two good stone throws), and its in a valley, so, if the snow hits us, its REALLY blasted on the hill tops.

5300 feet? Thats over a mile up from sea level, (5280 feet = 1 miles-->only thing I remember from 3rd grade LOL). So, your not quite the same as Denver Colorado, but, Im betting close enough for the snow flakes to fly more attcha
(Oh, we didnt get anything in my neck of the woods in Ohio, and, Im happy about that mess missing us!).

Lisa & Mike, its always been a pleasure reading your bloggs, so, I will take a sit by and stand by until the next postings, that makes me want to thank you for the opportunities to further read about your adventures

I wish you well...

Jesse

Just curious, but I am on a computer which uses a battery which is powered by electricity.
Ummmm,
How do you wash your clothes? What if you have children or a medical emergency? And can I have your old motor home, please?

Lisa and Mike have electricity, they generate it from sunlight and store it in batteries. The battery power is run through an inverter to convert it to standard 120 volt AC power and they have a regular washing machine along with a gas (propane) fired clothes dryer. While they don't have an unlimited supply of electricity like a person connected to commercial power they do just fine. They also have a gasoline-powered generator for back-up power.

As for any kind of medical emergency...they are in the same boat as millions of people that live away from big cities. They do have cell phones with decent coverage.

I'm pretty sure they still use the motor home.

Kudos to you

Yes we still use a motor home but we traded the big boy in for a more manageable sized one and I don't worry about Mike driving it up and down our mountain.
