One of the best things about my state is that it is so diverse and beautiful. You can wake up to city life, walk outside and see something like this:
Then you may decide that you need some country air today or perhaps a nice cool swim in one of the many natural streams, waterfalls, rivers, or lakes here. You NEED some nature. Well, within minutes you can be swimming under a gorgeous waterfall.
Or maybe you just want to explore the woods and wade in the crick (how we say creek in Ohio). That is only minutes away too.
I never get tired of exploring this lovely state and being amazed about how much there is to do in our extended backyard.
