Waco - the dead and the arrested

All I was saying is that the greenery of the east coast strikes you when your plane is coming in for a landing and when you start driving around any time from April through October.

Sure, you can even find pockets of beauty out west, but for the most part it's a barren wasteland (99% of Nevada, anyone?). You don't see any of the east coast states putting people in jail for using their garden hose. We don't get four year droughts.

-Yes if you're flying in from the SW. S CA, AZ, N Mex, S TX, agree most of Nevada and a few other pockets are what you're referring to.

-Green but lack of tall, dense trees in much the plains states with exceptions like the Blacks Hills.

-CO, UT, WY, ID, N CA, OR, WA plenty of Mtns and dense greenery.

Week & a half in UT last month and I saw plenty of greenery..

This is what E. WA looks like from mid-march through mid-July


Of course even after that it still retains a certains beauty:



Two thirds of the state looks like either Western Montana all the time or this:
