I had the same feeling about Wyoming terrain when I went to Yellowstone years ago. I live in Maryland which is very hilly and has 4 seasons, I couldn't get over the lack of vegetation everywhere I went in Wyoming, you had to get to the west side in Idaho before you saw much for grass and trees for shade for that matter. I don't need lots of neighbors or the development but I am quite use to having greenery growing and fall colors and lots of trees. I guess my only wish is that the spring and fall would be longer so we didn't have the extreme heat. I don't mind the winter at all, just the short daylight is depressing sometimes when you have long stretches of cloud cover. I think the pictures of Iceland that Ihave seen look very beach shore like, and some arid plains. Is that what you saw Annelise? My friends in Colorado have tried to get me and my husband to move west near them, but I am hooked on the east, don't think I could ever leave. Jeannette
