Don't say where...

The town was about 4,000 population when I was born. The house I mostly remember was on the edge of town. Beyond were rolling hills, cattle ranches, and forested areas. Our family recreation was mostly fishing, and there were plenty of nearby places to do that, both ocean and freshwater rivers and lakes. We also lived near a mountain named after a certain deity of ill repute, around which strange things were sometimes witnessed by those who paid attention to such things.

I guess the thing I remember most was the fishing, especially ocean fishing, where you just never know what you're going to catch next.
