        "content_html": "<p>In California we lived at the base of the Sierra Nevada. Right behind <a href=\"https://cityofexeter.ca.gov/\">Exeter</a> sits a hill called <a href=\"https://sierranewsonline.com/hiking-with-the-archaeological-conservancy-to-the-rocky-hill-archaeological-preserve/\">Rocky Hill.</a></p>\n<p>In Virginia they would refer to that as a mountain.</p>\n<p>We refer to it as a foothill. Those foothills get ever taller as you drive deeper into them until you’re into the Sierra Nevada.</p>\n<p>Folks have never been west if hills are mountains to them.</p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sierra_Nevada\">Sierra Nevada</a> is extremely impressive.</p>\n<p>Don’t take that as a slight. It’s what people know growing up here.</p>\n<p>The Appalachian’s are also very impressive and I wish I had the stamina and time to hike the entire 2,000+ miles of the <a href=\"https://appalachiantrail.org/\">Appalachian Trail</a>.</p>\n",
