I find that my New England relatives have no idea how big states in the South are. I'm in Memphis, and they say things like "The mountains must be beautiful." Yeah, they are - and they're 8 hours away! SC is even small by the standards of many states around it, but it'll still fit Rhode Island, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont in it!
Yup! We’re in Lakeland (just down the hey from you) and my friends back on the west coast ask about the mountains. No clue, there’s none here. But that’s ok, when we tell people that we lived in WA everyone assumes that the weather is rainy like Seattle and has plenty of trees. Nope, the eastern side is the high desert. 5 hours of high desert and wheat fields separated us from Seattle.
