• You cannot escape the 100+ degree temperatures, even surrounded by trees at 4,000 feet elevation.
• Do your grocery shopping on Thursdays or early Friday mornings. Before the weekenders (a.k.a. flatlanders) start arriving. Don’t go into town until Monday.
• Just when you think winter is coming to an end, a massive blizzard hits and dumps 5 1/2 feet of snow, breaking trees and tearing down power lines. We did not have power for 2 weeks. It was worse than camping!
• Dawn and dusk are the times to avoid being on the road or in the forest.
• When you overhear people in the grocery store or the Post Office discussing cats, they are not talking about kitty cats. They are talking about cougars & mountain lions.
• Everyone has an opinion on how bad the winter is going to be. They often contradict each other. Believe no one. Wait for winter and see for yourself.
