I also gave up a lot of snow, and got two zones warmer than I was! It was a good trade! I also lost 3,000 feet in elevation, so I'm happy about that!
I really didn't stand in the right spot to take that video, since the river doesn't show up. We need to cut down 3 trees to open the view up some, but haven't walked down to them yet to see if they are actually on our property, or the next piece of property. I sure hope they are our trees, because the river view will be much better!
