Ok guys, what is your favorite outdoor activity? For me I would say backpacking. I love getting to camp in places that you have to work to get to. How about you???

I have a friend that has horses, and I've gone riding a few times with her 12 year old daughter. But I've been riding horses since I was about 10, in all sorts of ways - english riding, jumping classes, volunteer work with the Wyoming forest service, rounding up cattle, horse breaking & training, and just pleasure.
But there is one thing I like even better than horse back riding. That's scuba diving! I haven't done that since I was about 18 or 19 though. But I had enough training that if I took 2 more classes, I could have qualified as a scuba trainer. (Not trying to brag, just a talkin'.)

Skiing. I use to do this a lot and then i had kids and was absent from the slopes for 11 years. I just went last weekend and it was so good to be back on the slopes. It is amazing to be on the top of a mountain and you are going down the hill on two little boards.

For me it would have to be -- beekeeping. I can't understand why it isn't even on your list.

We work in the garden, field and greenhouses, which beats working in the confines of the office (which I do too much of). But I also like to lay in the hammock, picnic, sit around a fire and chat with friends, mess with the hives, or just walk through the grass and weeds. And at night, I like pulling out the telescope and sightseeing through the universe. That's a BIG outdoors! The cold, still nights of winter are best for that.

Most of the above, but you left out one of the most important - Gardening! That's what I'd rather be doing anytime.

"Nay, it [this constitution of government] must perish, if there be not that vital spirit in the people, which alone can nourish, sustain, and direct all its movements. It is in vain, that statesmen shall form plans of government, in which the beauty and harmony of a republic shall be embodied in visible order, shall be built up on solid substructions, and adorned by every useful ornament, if the inhabitants suffer the silent power of time to dilapidate its walls, or crumble its massy supporters into dust; if the assaults from without are never resisted, and the rottenness and mining from within are never guarded against. Who can preserve the rights and liberties of the people, when they shall be abandoned by themselves? Who shall keep watch in the temple, when the watchmen sleep at their posts? Who shall call upon the people to redeem their possessions, and revive the republic, when their own hands have deliberately and corruptly surrendered them to the oppressor, and have built the prisons, or dug the graves of their own friends?
– Justice Joseph Story, "Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States," Volume II, Chapter XIII: Mode of Passing Laws, Sections 900-901, pp. 364 (1833)

I check others, because my favorite outdoor activity is staying indoors. Sincerely, Brendhan |

Can't remember the list cause I'm making a post, this is what I like to do. It all pertains to warm weather, so snowmobiles and cold stuff are out:
Gardening
Beekeeping, really keen on bee watching
Picnicing
Backpacking (if it is not too far)
Short vacations in our 5th wheel
Canoeing
Biking
Biking on motorcycles
Laying on hammock under shade reading my grandchildren stories
Drinking beer (or wine, or iced tea) around my pool, under the shade of the beech tree
Harvesting vegetables for processing
Videotaping
Camera shots
Listening to the sounds of nature
Identifying birds and insects
Going out for dinner, eating outside in restaurant patios in the summer
Vacuuming my house
That about sums it up. Best of the great day. Cindi

I voted "Other". My favorite outdoor activities are Summer Bluegrass Festivals and Gold Prospecting in the Cascade mountain range.
