Born and raised in the Denver metro area. I have many good memories of viewing the mountains covered with a fresh layer of snow and the sun setting over the mountains. Many trips taken to the mountains for trout fishing and camping expeditions. The smell of the evergreen trees and the campfire while sitting around telling exciting events in your life. Listening to the sounds of the forest and seeing the many different types of animals merrily living their lives. Yes, I love the mountains and the memories they have given me.
I have been on the beach of the east and west coasts. Been to the beaches of The Great Lakes and beaches in Italy. Yes, they are beautiful and enjoyable. However, the many memories are not there. Therefore, my life and memories go hand in hand with the mountains.
Oh, I do not know how to swim.
