>>2821157DFW /out/ist here who would love to meet a few others. Aside from neighborhood parks and the Chapparal bike trail that eventually takes you almost to Texarkana or something, there's not much around here. Big Bend is incredible and there's neat stuff in every direction, as long as you're prepared to travel half a day or more to get there. There's a reason everyone leaves DFW to go on "natural beauty" vacations.
I used to live in northern Nevada and I miss it a lot, as well as the deserts of Arizona/New Mexico. One of the things about DFW that helps is the economy here is good enough that you should have the money to do a few trips to the kinds of places you wish you lived, until you have the professional experience or savings to move there permenently.
