Like the bread? Or pain in the ass? I hate feeling stupid enough to think it could be either. Also, I don't deny that it is an enormous pain to get around. But I also happen to like those kinds of places—way back in the depths of the Rocky Mountains, for example, in some of the most annoying places to get to, I found the most incredible places. I know it's all remote and terrible from a living standards perspective... but that doesn't make it any less beautiful. PITA? Like the bread? Or pain in the ass?

I met a group of people living in a "saddle" of ?three? mountains. They mined silver close to the surface and made jewelry. They lived in what I can best describe as rock igloos. They had no access to plumbing, electricity, and it was at least 1.5 miles of mountain path to the nearest village (which, if I recall correctly, also lacked an electric grid). A nice place to visit, but I don't want my distant cousins living there.
