Anywhere in the Smokey Mountains, NC :heart: I've visited one area there and would love to do more exploring! So beautiful and peaceful in the morning when the fog blankets the mountains.

They get pretty serious when you get too close to Area 51...can only see it from a cliff overhang, if you are on the road too long they send the MP's out and they escort you off the property entirely (the entire stretch all the way to the nearest city).

Local to me is Hocking county in Ohio. It has a slew of hiking trails. Some are public some are not. Getting down there at daybreak on my favorite overview watching the mist burn off.

Then where I used to live in Santa Cruz, Ca. was a place called natural bridges. Twice a year the monarch butterfly's migrate through there and for a few weeks all the trees are covered in them.

Take care,

My son now lives in Sedona, Arizona. A very beautiful place with the red rock mountains and such a crystal clear blue sky. Went hiking and you can't beat the solitude and feeling at one with nature. It would be hard to be in a bad mood living in a place like that.:smile:
