Poll question: Mountains or the beach?

What is your favorite? Mine, mountains, there is nothing better than a thunderstorm in the mountains.

1. I live on the Beach in Florida

But I long for the mountains!

You can take the boy out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the boy!

4. I agree...

My wife and I are about to move to Asheville NC, I can't wait. We live in Columbia SC now, it's really flat here in more ways than one.

5. I am from S.E Kentucky the Appalachians!

What beautiful mountains. Asheville is very nice also. You lucky guy!

7. I'm so envious

That whole area is sooooo beautiful. And there's a perfect mix of old-timers and artsy newcomers (and artsy oldtimers too). I hope you enjoy bluegrass music or are open to it, because there's some fantastic bluegrass festivals in that area every year.

Good luck on your move!

14. Love Bluegrass

So I guess I fit in there.

16. Normally, I'm opposed to stupid SUVs

but if you've got one, you're in for a real treat. There's some of the best scenery you've ever seen if you get off-road around Asheville. If you're not into bird-watching or looking at "ephemeral" wildflowers, now's the time to get some books.

Envy, envy, envy,.....:)

2. In mid-July, we're heading for Pismo Beach

Awesome place and it's about 20-25 degrees cooler than Sacramento.

3. Some great surf shops in Pismo

Can't remember their names. Stayed there on vacation a few years ago. The water is shallow for such a long time, especially around the pier area. Some terrific vistas, too.

6. Mountains by the beach, or beach by the mountains.

There's a certain attraction to thunderstorms seen from that mountain.

12. Hiked from the Mattole River to Shelter Cove several years ago.

Beach starts out charcoal and then goes to black.One of the best hikes I've ever done.

8. I live 20 minutes from the beach

I haven't been there in two years. I'll be going to the mountains in about three weeks, though. :)

10. Mountains!

I hate the beach. Way too sandy and warm. Now the mountains - cold, snowy, pefect. Hell I was born in Colorado, but sadly live in California. Kinda ironic...

11. Grew up in the mountains, now live on the beach.

I love them both.

13. Mountains--hands down.

Can't stand the beach..I don't like swimming in the ocean and I can't lay out in the sun because I burn..FAST.

[aquaman]

15. Me too..

I have to much Irish blood in me. I burn fast.

[DoctorBombay]

17. I'm in LA, so I have both...

...but I live at the beach.

[DoNotRefill]

18. DEFINITELY mountains....

no @##%$#@%#%$#@$ TOURISTS!!!!!!!

If it's tourist season, why can't we shoot them?

(can you tell I grew up in a resort town?)

[HEyHEY]

19. I grew up in Vancouver...I get both

21. Mountains thrill me more, but I need the beach to "breathe".....

Love that unspoiled horizon I see at the ocean whenever I want!

22. Mountains

I enjoy visiting the beach now and again.

The mountains call me. I don't feel comfortable unless I can see them, and I am happiest when I can feel them under my feet.
