That’s one thing I don’t miss about living in Idaho. Mountains constantly being on fire. ---

Yeah, mountains are way more awesome when they’re not on fire. As is the case for most things. ---

“Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I present to you exhibit one: A boring mountain. Notice that this mountain is not on fire.” _GASPS_ Case closed. I stand corrected. ---

mountains used to burn a lot in croatia during the summer, while we were allowed to go down there on holidays… between burning and non-burning mountains, I have to say I vote for burning. it was always such a wicked feeling, watching the red glow night after night, the contrast between the rolling sea and swaying cypresses on the one side, and orange smouldering mountains on the other… also that slight fear that the fire might spread and we might actually have to evacuate seemed to put such a feel of adventure in the air. (hey I was only 10…) ---

Mountains are stupid. I’m glad they are spontaneously combusting. ---

I’d much rather be near a burning mountain than a burning swamp. Idaho might look like Mordor, but Virginia Beach ■■■■ sure smells like it lately. ![](http://forum.kirupa.com/uploads/kirupa/7066/76b1ccdbdf622faf.jpg) [http://content.hamptonroads.com/story.cfm?story=92466&ran=107847](http://content.hamptonroads.com/story.cfm?story=92466&ran=107847) ---
