I enjoy walking around random places

Before high gas prices, my daughter and I would pick a place on a map and drive there just to check the place out. We'd walk around the area, talking with whoever was there and see what we could find... (A lot of the time my daughter was convinced I knew people everywhere we went because I'd just strike up conversations. That was always fun for me!)

I like to do this too, only I explore in nature. I have taken many road trips in the US and Canada just to explore in National Parks or State lands. Pack in your tent with food for a couple of days. It's amazing to be in places where people rarely step. The wildlife, the hunting for treasures like precious stones or gold or objects lost or discarded years before. I live next to the Olympic National Park and there are trails and camping spots everywhere you look. You can hike near a glacier, walk through a rainforest, stop at the hot springs and walk along Pacific Ocean beaches... all in the same Day. I guess I prefer nature over crowds.
