Mountain Living

[adpaz]

My grandfather bought the valley and much of the mountain land surrounding it back in the 1950s.  At first, the land was a summer home for my grandmother, my father, and my aunt and uncles to come to away from the NJ hustle and bustle.  My grandfather would come up on weekends, spend the time with his family, and then drive the 3 hours back before

I really enjoyed the nostalgia in this piece! I can see why this is a bigger part of where you're from than the actual hometown. These are definitely the kinds of things that shape us!

That sounds amazing to have a place with extended family nearby and be that connected to them and the mountain. Very cool.
