Beautiful. Could be in the Intermountai west of the US.

The people who live and work there, I imagine, have very similar experiences, weather, etc. as the people who work in similar environments here.

For years I took Taekwondo and was a member of the American Taekwondo Association (ATA).

I started when I was about 16 in 1972 and did so off and on until we moved to Dillon, Montana in 1992 where there was no master or school nearby at the time.

I had my four oldest kids do it with me for four years straight just before we moved to Montana too.

A great experience and a lot fo fun.
