For the 3 years prior to moving here to AL, we lived at the base of the SanJacinto mountains, in a town called Hemet, and loved driving up to Idyllwild (a bit treacherous at times if oncoming traffic didn't stay in their lanes - but the views with every turn were awesome!)to spend the day, either roaming around the idyllic little town, or driving the outskirts looking at the unique homes up there, or the beautiful terrain. I have several items purchased from artists that live there. However,some of the most gorgeous pieces, like the pine needle woven art baskets, I couldn't afford, but enjoyed looking at them! I do miss the visits there, and just looking out my windows every day to soak up the view of the majestic mountains. I spent part of my childhood in and out of Arizona, and came to love the mountains. Here in Alabama they call the hills formed by the tail end of the Appalacian mountains "mountains," but to me they are only "hills." Anyway, I do love the town and location of Idyllwild, and am thrilled someone else knows about that special place. :-)Judi A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09618310997994024137noreply@blogger.com
