Oh!!! My neighborhood. I’ve been walking it a lot lately and it’s an endless source of interesting stuff. Just this Saturday there was a fire requiring ladder trucks for an abandoned business at the end of the road (which has been a sore subject on NextDoor for some time now, let me tell you (ah nvm you lucked out — I will spare you any telling of that)) AND the house 3 doors the other way from me was burning brush in their backyard. It was a sensory experience.
A nose of blackened tires and drywall (yumm), and juuust a touch of Oak maybe Maple…? (Got kind of drowned out by the building fire, alas) with a finish of Natural Light (unless the Local Sports Team wins and then there’s probably going to be something else).
I’ll hike anywhere so long as there are no rattle snakes (or any other kind of snakes) and there are at least heavy bushes so as to use as a bathroom or a public bathroom (NOT a port-a-potty!) often enough along the way!
@AuntMean67 YES. portapotties suck :| at least, as a girl, I have always found them to suck. Maybe we should come up with some kind of better portapotty
My favorite walks were always in cities, on sidewalks, at night, with lots of lights. Holidays and festivals could be especially charming. Having cafes and such as rest spots was nice too.
The beach, I love, love, LOVED walking the beach!
These days i’d love to walk anywhere! When I see people just walking down the driveway to get their mail I feel grateful! Grateful for them, IF THAT makes any sense? I’m happy that even though I can’t do those little things right now, they are able to! Don’t take things for granted people, you just NEVER know what’s in store for 2 future!
a walk by the ocean or bust. (not on the sand, on the roads along the ocean in new england.) otherwise the thought of going for a walk is…not of interest to me, to say the least. forget hiking.
Depends. If you want to smoke some calories you need a place with some hills. Good for the spirit too. Getting out there with the critters is always a good thing.
Where I grew up in Norway, there was an island right next to mine that we called a mountain. I’m not really sure if you’d call it that since it was only around 500 meters tall. The one side was sloped perfectly for walking. The other side was a straight drop. We’d climb to the top, sign our names to a paper inside a stack of rocks, look over the steep side and maybe sit for some lunch.
Over to my car to get the bicycle out for a ride.
forest trail next to a river.
To my kitchen
@heartny and to the dinner table.
@heartny and back to the couch
Never head of a long, romantic walk on the beach at sunset?
@hchavers I was thinking, obviously this guy lives nowhere near the ocean.
To the next bar.
@shahnm a-freakin-men
@kerryzero @shahnm It seems like forever ago for me. And I’m setting the bar pretty low.

We do have a lovely park.

@AuntMean67 we could sell it on meh
@AuntMean67 @kerryzero But I thought snakes were everywhere!
@AuntMean67 @mehcuda67 good point…
Anywhere outdoors, as long as you know where the bad dogs are.
@2many2no Ain’t that the truth.
@2many2no @ThunderChicken There’s no such thing as a bad dog, just some that - nevermind.
Over the river and through the woods…my, what big teeth you have!

Up/in/along a creek. So I picked river. Which is not along a river. Sometimes it’s just easier to hop in than along when the brush gets thick.
It didn’t say were you regularly go hiking it said best which I’m taking as best memory.
Along the ocean on a nice long beach, especially early in the morning. It’s just you and the world.
@JoeSeadog YES!

@Lynnerizer So true! And hope you will get to in the near future too
All of them except up a mountain.
I love walking on the beach, but I’ll walk just about anywhere!
Big woods, preferably with some hills. It doesn’t take long til you can’t see or hear roads. It’s a nice reset.
Anywhere is good but on water would be cool!
Depends how long the hike is, but hiking around a lake in a historic neighborhood is pretty hard to beat. (waves at Minneapolis)
+1 for beach

Up a mountain with a river and lake.

That’s the best place.
@RiotDemon Pictures!
@zinimusprime here you go!
@RiotDemon Great googly moogly! You grew up in Skyrim?!?!?!?! That’s gorgeous.
@zinimusprime where do you think they got the idea of the Nords from?
Just walk up the hill. I miss walking up that hill.
