Nice photo! This outdoor set is MUCH better than the photos of cash, brochures, and webpages. I hope these nice ones can be used to encourage more creativity with future posts.

My wife and I love going for evening walks. It’s a far better way to have a conversation than sitting in front of a TV. It’s also free and healthy.

And let me just second (third?) the note about state parks. I have quite a few around me and they’re incredible. Most are free but they’d be worth it even if they weren’t.

All but one to two of those things have a cost in my area (trust me, I’ve looked.) My local parks and rec department is wonderful! And costly.

He does make a good point about the state park system. Though I will not camp, because I am an utter beast without a good night’s sleep, a lot of state parks do offer very inexpensive cabin rentals.

Your advice, as always, is great. I truly think people don’t get out enough.

After living in LA for 5 years and now in Florida, I greatly enjoy the weather and get out everyday, if possible.

Even just a “wandering walk” can make a stressful day seem more relaxing.

Trent doesn’t live near National Forests, but those are great places to camp. They don’t charge admission prices and there are a lot less rules – often you can camp wherever you want.

National Park campgrounds are very compact and unless you sleep in an RV, you might as well camp in your back yard. We only go there to see the main attraction and never camp in them.

Trent is right that state parks are a gem. They usually are established in great camping areas and they usually have spread out camping areas without so many rules that spoil camping.
