[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^Do you even know what kudzu is?  The fact that you cant appreciate a beautiful walk through the woods is SAD. Never call yourself an outdoor enthusiast again because you're NOT.  Also, how many people live right next to Big Sur?  most east coasters are a 20 minute drive from a wooded path, but you have to drive hours along the PCH to get to Big Sur.  [/quote]

I like the woods OK. But you’re deluding yourself if you think that’s the same as hiking out west. Where there are also woods btw, but they are majestic redwoods or ancient live oaks, not junk-tree glades by the highway. [/quote]

There are majestic redwoods in designated state parks that are usually highly protected and you have to drive for hours to be able to reach. I spent a lot of time out west so i know exactly how it is.  I'll definitely take an easy drive to a STUNNING tree lined, green glen any day, over driving for hours to see ONE view [/quote]

ok throw down - where are all these “stunning” forests 20 minuted from
metro DC?[/quote]

Great Falls, and the historic home of Frederick Douglass, and Monticello, and the views you see kayaking along the Potomac, and Chesapeake views in Maryland, and drive a few hours to hike Old Rag, Luray, Skyline Drive...[/quote]

I’ve been to every single one of those, and none of them are as spectacular or any more accessible than what you can get to from most places on the West Coast. If you think Great Falls is the equal of Big Sur, well ...[/quote]

No one said they were equal to this or that. But if you don't think Great Falls is fun and lovely, I feel sorry for you. I can simply walk along the Mall and the monuments at sunset and find the experience to be "stunning." If you can't, I feel sorry for you. If you must compare each and every thing you do with every wonderful thing in the world, no wonder you're never satisfied or fulfilled.

I've eaten at a Guy Savoy restaurant in Paris with a view of the Eiffel Tower. I don't sit down to a lovely meal at a nice DC restaurant and stew because those to things aren't the same experience. What a sad way to live life. [/quote]

where did I say I didn’t enjoy those things?  But yeah in August when it’s 100 degrees and humid, a walk on the mall is out of the question. [/quote]
