Never been to Michigan ... and as much as I hate Wikipedia, it was the only site I could find with any elevation info.  The highest point is less than 2000 feet?  :rotflmao:

2000 ft?  I live in the Tennessee Valley and the elevation here is 1000 ft.  The Smokies aren't very high as far as mountains go, but they sure are purty!  :D  And for the record, the people that we see as flatlanders are those who have to take the curves at the posted speeds.   :whistle:

Gotta remember that the Smokies are much older than the mountain ranges out West, and have had significantly more erosion over millennia.

What about us that have to go well below the posted speeds?  Do I even want to know what you call us?  :rotflmao:
I don't think the description would make it through our profanity filters...

Yep ... if you have to do the "suggested" speed around turns (or less) you're likely to get run over out here. :whistle:

The average speed through Nashville on the Interstates is around eighty, if that tells you anything. Except rush hour (which is at least three hour long) when it is about ten.

I think that part of the problem is that we're still under-utilized and under-membered. With a smaller group like we have, we tend to not get into the vigorous discussions that we're used to on other sites.

While we have differing views on things, our views tend to be compatible with each other. And as such many of our conversations start out as interesting and end up as "Yeah, I can totally see your point" and then quieting down.

Toss in 5 retrogrades and it's no wonder we're sort of in the doldrums.

When we get our numbers up and can get some more people with differing viewpoints, then things will get more interesting. We just have to get through the "blahs" we're going through and keep plugging this site to others and keep trying to come up with lively topics of conversation.

Hah!  That's true.  We know one another so well that we either agree or quietly roll our eyes and smile.  We're all predictable.   :rolleye:

I think that at this point we could each write responses for every one of us and hit the nail on the head.
