One day I will live where there are mountains. I have lived my whole life In the Midwest. The very flat and corn covered Midwest.
Don't forget the soybeans!!! I grew up south of you near Carbondale...actually the town is DuQuoin.
You have a very nice pool. Awesome lighting effects too. Congrats on a job well done. Thanks for the pics; I'm liking the last 2 pics a lot.
