Items of note on Mountain living:
-There is an infinite number of living creatures in the mountains, big and small. It is not uncommon to see a few uninvited guests such as bugs, leaves, pollen, and an occasional spider or mouse (less common). We treat regularly for pests but being in the mountains nature tends to find a way sometimes.

-leaves and pollen may settle on the deck


Mountain driving and Winter weather:
Roads in our area is paved and plowed but Winter weather can still affect driving

4WD or chains is recommended in snowy conditions

Trip insurance can protect against weather related cancelations and road closures
