Happy birthday @muffy1938!
My house is at the top of a small mountain/nubble. Although I might be only 2.5 miles from my little town, the hike is steep. The town old timers talk about learning to ski on my dirt road (yes many decades ago it was a skin run).
Today, I hiked it again. I hiked to the town center to the coffee shop and back. The steepness is a bear on the return trip.
