A small mountaintop town with scenery and colors that takes you back to a time when most places big and small were like this. The pine trees that climb is a natural order, vegetable gardens bursting with flowers, fruit and vegetables, rivers with fish jumping and rapids that make you want to take a cool dip. The fixtures and fittings you see in the township look retro and cool. People are friendly and welcoming.
