MC39693 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 A couple weeks ago, met a couple from Fresno who were on first ever trip to Canada. Met them at Peyto Lake, near Lake Louise. They were then going to Lake Louise for first time for a couple of days. Peyto Lake is very picturesque although it was very icy that day on the short walk to reach it. Lake Louise likely made them pass out if they had not seen pictures. I suggested a hike to the "upper" tea house ... if they could. Not sure the lake would be frozen enough to walk across but that is a real experience in the winter and looking back at the chateau from the far end of the lake. So, y'all come up and see the mountains and lakes and bring those green backs with you to spend at 30% premium! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a couple real good friends back in my young adulthood after I had moved to Ca. We worked together at Hughes Aircraft. One was from Texas the other from the Florida panhandle. We used to go camping together up in the Sierras. When it was my turn to cook and I'd grill up some chicken or ribs they would goof on me and say "Pretty good...for a Yankee" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 We used to have this model Vermont Castings in our last house... but in dark green. Once I got used to working with it, it was pretty easy. It would keep the house pretty toasty. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RT FAN Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 In Savannah Georgia I have seen bumper stickers that said: "Thanks God for sand gnats, otherwise we'd be up to our a$$ in Yankees!" 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, and I'd say do what you want at your house but don't do that here at my friend's. Along with slow down, don't talk so fast It takes a couple of years for them to realize the effect the humidity has on everything, or the red clay, or thinking they can drive in the snow down here.......... If they rode a bike I always told them to watch out for pine needles in the road. The problems will become evident after a while or one drive in the snow with a dumb dumb driving like it is a dry road coming from the other way! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 I actually knew a couple, company moved him and wife from Florida to the Bahamas... they stayed about 15 yrs until retiring back to northern Wisconsin where they had a house.

Ceptorman Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 The snow is fun, have any of you'all southerners ever rode a snowmobile? I know I complain about the cold, but I like the snow. It seems to hide a lot of ugliness, everything looks clean and fresh. I wish we would have the snow without all the cold. I hope to have a couple retirement homes some day....one in Wisconsin (snowmobile capital of the world) and one around San Antonio Texas (wife is from Texas, my daughter is in school there) Boats and Jet Skis are fun Dirtbikes and quads are exhilerating Racing Karts are extreme fun Racing a motorcycle is a blast But NOTHING is as much fun as riding a snowmobile 😀 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CS is beautiful and their winters aren't too harsh. The snow doesn't last long and the high altitude sun is plentiful. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
