Britton Hill is the highest natural point in the state of Florida, USA, with a summit elevation of 345 feet (105 meters) above mean sea level.<br /><br />Three bad months? Everyone has different likes and dislikes. I could not live in that humid a place for very long and need to see a mountain nearby.

Florida ...Late to the comments party here but wtf? Florida and I love the rain. 'Course, I don't live in a swamp. Rolling hill horse country. We have our regular two hour downpour every day in the summer and 10 minutes later you're out walking in a dry pasture. The showers provide a very nice relief from high 90s temps with 110 heat index. Plus it's nice to have a reliable source of spring and well water. I figure we get three bad months a year here, June, July, August. But even then, mornings and late afternoons and evenings are great. All things considered, not a bad place. If we just had some snow capped peaks.

Since I have not read many comments about this topic on most traveler/wonderer/adventurer/rv'r blogs?Since the stats show that 80% of us will need long term care. Louise sees people begging to come into her facility everyday. She has to turn away 70% of people that come to her facility because they can't pay for it and ultimately go to some family member who never anticipated caring for their loved ones. This is a serious issue and the government doesn't pay diddly for long term care.michael and louisenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134981800236544647.post-74213561011876269642014-08-29T18:09:45.305-06:002014-08-29T18:09:45.305-06:00We totally get your anger with the weather.

Well, all 20% was right over the trail the whole time we hiked to the Grinnell Glacier. So our maybe semi nice day slowly got worse.

That said we almost got washed out (figuratively) when we lived in Belgium for 2 years, otherwise known as the "kitchen sink" of Europe for the vast quantities of wet stuff that falls from the skies. Never again. I'm surprised OR is 20th on that list, but I guess it does have a dry side and a big rain shadow.

Our east side deserts in Oregon and Washington (2/3 of those states) really drop those 100 inches of rain down to silly numbers. 200 inches in the Hoh, and 5 inches on the east side. Average is a weird number in the west where there is so much variability.
