Quoted By:
I live in a fairly large metropolitan area, but if I drive for 40 minutes, I get to an area that is my escape.
It is relatively sparsely populated, right on the coast, with awesome trails (official and unofficial) and more trees than any other part of the area.
The best part, not many people know about it, so often I am the only one out there, or at worst I'll see maybe a couple of people per hour. I can literally walk down from the woods and end up on a secluded beach with majestic cliffs above. Sometimes, as i discover new trails, I have to trespass across 'private property' but its so spread out, I've never been caught. I've been going there for years, but there is always a new niche to explore.
I've taken some friends and dates along at times, and people can't believe a spot like that exists so nearby the big, dirty, smelly city.
I try to get out there at least 2 or 3 times a month, and always feel happier and spiritually refreshed on those days. :)
