The word "moist" doesn't have much of any effect on me.
Maybe because I keep fish? Liked to hang out in swamps when I was a kid?

Makes me think of an area down in the hills on Pop's farm.  It's at the very bottom of a large north facing hill.  Very little sun ever reaches it so it's covered in mosses and ferns.  In the early mornings is often shrouded in a low hanging fog.  Definitely a "moist" place, but very cool all the same.
