Does anyone know the best places to live in the country for outdoor activities and recreation?
The best place is where YOU find the things YOU enjoy. I live in the country, but while in the Marines there were times I had no choice but to live in the city. Everyplace has outdoor recreation available, EVEN THE CITIES. If you can’t find them, you’re sitting on your back end. Call the city or county parks department. Check out the state park system. Join an outdoors adventure club. Talk to people at sporting goods stores. I live an hour from Houston, but know of places in that city of 2 million people where you can’t even see any buildings, yet are within 5 miles of the downtown skyscrapers! You’re posting in Outdoor Recreation. This isn’t the place to whine about your relatives. Based on your post, if you were my relative, I wouldn’t invite you over either!
