>>2497197>That's not true for most of the west that has scant fishing, boating, paddling, swimming. scuba diving, and surfing opportunities.So...you've never been out West.
>scant fishingWait wut? Tons of fishing- best trout fishing in the country, great bass fishing, alpine lake fishing...and 1300 miles of coastal fishing. You never catch King salmon or Halibut in the Appalachians lol.You are a fucking idiot.
>boatingSo many boating destinations from Lake Meade to Lake Shasta to Lake Tahoe... dozens and dozens of lakes and resevoirs with suberb boating all over the West. You are an idiot.
>paddlingAgain just fucking retarded. Best AND most whitewater in the country. You are an idiot.
>swimmingWhatever. Tons of lakes and rivers to swim in...of course the ocean lol
>scuba diving, and surfing opportunities.Really? No surfing out West lol. Guess you never dove for abalone before. You are an idiot.
And since you cant read for comprehension- it wasnt options for activities- it was options of geography, climate and biomes that give people out West a greater range of options of experiences....from coastal to high alpine to desert to decidous forest to coniferous forest and everything in between...even smooth, undulating hills lol.
