Scott, I am fortunate to live in an area that has a number of 13-14,000 ft mountains nearby. I never get tired of being impressed by them.
I know the feeling. When I lived up in NW WA, I had the Olympics to the West and the Cascades to the East and South. It was paradise! I really miss it sometimes when the highest part of FL is 160 feet above seal level and it is man made.
