 It's close enough to when I will be moving to share a little about where I will be going.

I've lived on the west coast (California) and the east coast (St Augustine, Florida); the saltwater Gulf of Mexico (Panama City, Florida); smack dab in the middle of the country (Killeen, Texas); the Northwoods along the shores of the freshwater Lake Superior (Ashland, Wisconsin).

I'll now be moving to the Appalachian Mountain Range, a small community in the Allegheny Mountains.  The name Allegheny probably comes from the [click here> Lenape or Delaware First People's words "welhik hane" or "oolikhanna," which means 'best flowing river of the hills' or 'beautiful stream'. There is a Lenape legend of a tribe called "Allegewi" who used to live along the river.

Moving from an elevation of 673 feet above sea level, I'll be at a lofty 1,880 feet above sea level!
