My 16-year-old son never wants to go out of the house but he was talking about wanting to go to Omega Mart in Vegas. So I booked us a flight into Denver. Yeah it’s an 11-hour drive even after we fly. But I get to drive through the mountains, and I don’t live anywhere near the mountains. And I fucking love the mountains. And all of those miles go an a rental car.
I grew up in the US West and I was able to spend the last couple of days in the Smoky mountains, but there just isn’t anything that really satisfies that mountain itch in the eastern us. Enjoy what you have.
When I was a kid, I flew from Colorado to Tennessee and my dad took me to the Great Smoky Mountains. I was like “these aren’t mountains - these are hills!”

I guess I was a bit of an ingrate.
