Yeah, I've heard that also, they have so many deer that they are a danger
to drivers, there is supposed to be a wreck involving a deer just about
everyday, always sounded like a good place to go hunting to me....

We do have some mountains here in Northern GA (The Appalachians) it's just
that they aren't real big, and there aren't really any trails you can go
4-wheeling on. Yeah I'm considering taking a summer off after I graduate
and go out west and hit all the trails between here a California, I
believe that will quench my desire to go 4-wheeling for a long time...

I hear Glacier is really beautiful, I've always wanted to visit...

So you have the best of all worlds in California, huh, might have to
start at the southern end and go all the way up then once I get there....
