Miami, FL

but I wished I either lived in Ormond Beach, FL (Near Daytona) or Seattle, WA (I also love the Pacific Northwest).

Miami is not all that. It is a crowded, hot, humid city, filled with rude, obnoxius people and never ending traffic. I hope to move out of here in the future.

30-60 minutes in all directions gets you to the following:


20 minutes to the Columbia Gorge:



Mt Hood is an hour away




The Oregon Coast is an hour or so:



And last, head southeast and you'll hit 1000 miles of this, in an hour and a half

The Cathedral in Downtown.



This was the very first entrance to the city. It has an easy name to remember: Guadalajara Arches.

I live about 300 feet from the 10th largest fresh water lake in the world.
Right upper corner of this post will tell you where that is.

If I drive west about 10 minutes from my house I get a nice view of the
I-5:




If I decide to change it up and go South...I can hit the I-14



As I continue south, I get the opportunity to drive the famous I-405



Finally, I merge on to the magical 101 FWY:




Sorry if I made you all jealous of my LA lifestyle. It's pretty amazing, and if you wanted to move out here, it only costs $400,000 to buy a 2 bedroom shack...but every luxury has a price.

Greater Miami, FL viewed from space: (The vast land mass west of the city is Everglades National Park)



One of our daily driving routes:



My home: Downtown Miami





Tornado over Miami:



View of downtown Miami after takeoff from Miami International Airport:

(You could almost see my house)

4th of July in Miami:



I-95 Southern Terminus with Downtown Miami in the horizon:



Miami Metromover (Fully automatic) that serves 20 stations in the downtown area:



Miami Metro System. 1 line, 22 stations:



Vizcaya Palace and Gardens. This now museum belonged to millionaire James Deering (Founder of International Harvester) and was built in 1915. There are thousands of antique and fine art pieces in the house and gardens. Mr. Deering brought even complete square fountains dissassambled from Europe and then put together here. This is a must place for any new Miami visitor. Also here, then President Ronald Reagan and Pope John Paul II met here in 1987 to discuss the final details that would put the final nail on the "Cold War" :

If you look closely in all that foliage, you'll see a small spot of green in the middle near the right edge of the photo. That's my pine windbreak. We own from that spot to the top of the hill in Mansfield, Vermont. The big spread in the foreground is the Trapp Family Lodge...our neighbor. The other photo is our house during a mild winter.

That's fine if you want land and privacy, with great roads and scenery...

That's beautiful up there. VT is a great place. Have a couple of friends on the other side of Mansfield in Underhill. This pick is from thier place w/ mansfield in the clouds on New Years.. Yea New Years and no snow!

Raised in Richmond, Schooled at Mt Mansfield Union HS in Jericho. There was a little ski place in Underhill called Underhill Bowl, do you know if it's still there?

You were that close and didn't VISIT us!?! Going into winter with no snow on the ground spells trouble for a lot of us. Not only do the tourists stay away (which is not necessarily bad), but those of us with shallow waterlines due to the granite ledge being covered by scant amounts of dirt have no insulation for those lines...and they freeze! Being without water for weeks at a time is no fun! We usually have a January thaw (it warms up to the 50s and all the snow melts) during which repairs can be made. But February at my elevation is marked by lows in the minus 30 range and highs that hover around zero. Hard to do much in the way of home repair under those conditions!

Funny. Last February my wife sent me out to the garage to get something out of our chest freezer. I reached in and marvelled at how WARM it was inside!

Underhill Bowl: I'll ask around since I'm not familiar with that side of the mountain. Typical Vermonter. When we travel we have to marry into the local population since we can't find our way home! Pete
