Due to popular demand we've recently added some mountains here in AZ

the pricey closer-to-town McMansion type. I chose the scattered
low-trees and dense cactus variety, and a friend bought a bunch of the
what-the-hell-takes-pine tar-off-six-vehicles flavor. There should be
something left over that suits you. ;-)



Actually, I've driven thought a fair bit of AZ and the mountains are
nothing like the mountains of PA. Ours are green in the spring and
summer and multicolored in the fall. In the winter ours look a little
more like yours, however. :-)

You call those mountains in PA? :-)What is the highest hill about 3200ft?

It is quality, not quantity that counts. I just don't find piles of
rock all that attractive over time. We vacationed in the southwest this
past June, starting in Vegas and making a driving tour through AZ, CO,
UT and back to Vegas. It is fun driving through the desert, high plains
and rockies (Pikes Peak, etc.), and the different terrain is fun for a
while. But after two weeks, I was getting pretty tired of looking at
rock. :-)

Nothing like the trees and changes of season in PA. If it just wasn't
so humid in the summer and cold in the winter. :-)

The PA hills are nice, particularly to fly over. Too bad they had to use
stand-ins for them in The Deer Hunter. I guess the real ones just weren't
spectacular enough. Sure looked wrong in the movie.

Minneapolis is nice this time of year, under those criteria...


High of 46 F today. No clouds. That's T-shirt weather in Minnesota!

Yeah, we hit the low 50s here in Iowa. Mary and I were furniture shopping
(for the Jim Weir Memorial Apollo Suite) in shirt-sleeves!

I never saw that movie. Where was it filmed?

Matt

I'm not sure, but they were much more like the Rockies or the Grand Tetons
than the Appalachians. Huge, craggy, granite, snow-covered cliffs, above
the timberline in many cases. Nothing like I've ever seen in PA.

Found on http://w3.gwis.com/~dml/tdh -- "I received an E-Mail from Dwight Postma
of Lynden, WA, with the locations of the mountains in some of the hunting
scenes. According to Dwight, the scene where Mike won't let Stan use his boots
was filmed near Mt. Baker on the Glacier Creek Road. The mountain in the
background in the scene when Mike throws John's pistol away is Mt. Shuksan,
which stands 7 miles from Mt. Baker. The large waterfall Mike sits next to is
Nooksack Falls, just off the Mt. Baker highway."

Mt. Baker is in Washington.

I think you're right Bob. I didn't think the mountain scenes looked
right for Pennsylvania either, and they weren't: The scenes were
filmed at Lake Chelan Washington, and Mt Baker Washington.

Google is your friend...

Ah, the "timberline" (I usually say "tree line"); one of the defining
features of a "mountain" IMHO. People have tried to tell me there are
mountains to the east, but the ones I've seen look like the stuff
called "foothills" around places where there are *real* mountains (I'd
been exposed to the alps and the rockies and the sierra nevada before
I saw any of these so-called "mountains" out east, so I may have
gotten a kinda exaggerated definition in my head :-)).

OTOH, we have no trouble getting over the mountains in the east when the
density altitude is high.
