Out to my family homestead in the coastal foothills of Oregon.. I’d spend winter, spring, and 2 to 4 weeks of summer vacation out there ..from the big city.

Back in town, Portland, I loved Mount Tabor ..an extinct volcano turned park, we’d skateboard it half the night ..a bong hit & beer before each run.. we’d slalom down the gated lit roads, looking over city reservoirs and downtown in the warmth of summer.

I grew up on an almost 500 acre farm in Western PA -- lots of rolling hills and ridges. There was a meadow way up on a hill top in the middle of the woods from which you could see a power plant almost 30 miles away....to someone raised in the hills...that was a LONG way off! LOL I think it's the reason I've climbed so many mountains, towers, and other tall places in my life....I always wanted to see the view...there is nothing like standing on a summit overlooking a vast expanse....

Geneva on the Lake for the fun side when you could actually flip a go kart if you weren't careful, and the gorge off of Mitchell's Mills Road for the nature side.

So random, but I loved going to the dump. (You know you grew up in a small town when the dump was a good time! Lol.)

Bonus dump story: The guy that worked at the dump was named Lee. He had the thickest coke bottle glasses I have ever seen and he worked out of a tiny shack at the scale that must have had 300 flies in it at all times. They were his friends and he would tell you all their names. It wasn't a joke thing either. About 15-20 years ago he moved to a bigger city across the state. He's a preacher now. I don't even know what to say about that...

Ride my horse to the creek and swim..

We have a Suicide hill in Milwaukee. My favorite place was, and is, the lakefront of Lake Michigan.

'Down the stream' we used to try and catch sticklebacks (small fish) and have a treehouse there.

My paternal/maternal grandparents. The paternal side was magical with horses, the maternal indulged me in all manner. Both were amazing. I truly won the grandparent lottery. Had not two, but THREE(one step!) sets of the most amazing grandparents anyone could ever wish for.
I miss them all terribly They were my heaven.

Candlewood Lake in CT. I spent almost every day in the summer at the lake.
