I live in Northeast Georgia where the horizon is hidden from view by Billions of trees, and impressive mountains in all directions. We pay in loss of sight distance for cooler summers than the remaining sections of the state.

This is where the trip to the mail box becomes healthy. My mailbox is approximately 1.2 Miles from my house, and three times weekly I ride my mountain bike on gravel roads out to the black top where our mailboxes are located.

I park my bike, open my mail box, then retrieve mail  which I stuff into a black pouch which I wear around my waist for this purpose. Then I make the return ride which includes a fairly long steep climb which ends just before reaching my driveway.  As I dismount I am high as a kite, and thank the Lord for my good fortune for first of all; being a Southern born American, and second Living in the mountains.
