RkyMtnHigh 0 #1 June 5, 2008 Where do you feel most at peace? I grew up around water when I was a child. I sailed competitively since I was 8 years old and enjoyed going to the beach with friends during spring break. After high school graduation, I moved to Colorado for college. The mountains have brought me a unique comfort as well. _________________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The mountains have brought me a unique comfort as well. That's no fair... I love both. I also grew up next to the ocean where I sailed, swam, surfed, etc. But I love rock climbing the most, so the mountains win I guess. However, I don't think I'd like to live far enough away from the ocean to where I couldn't at least make a day-trip out of it.Gravity Waits for No One.

mamajumps 0 #14 June 5, 2008 In the woods. I grew up with horses and if we were not at a rodeo, we were camping somewhere with the horses. The funny thing is, I can get turned around in a New York Minute if Im in a big city, but drop me in the middle of the woods and Im good to go...

SkydiveStMarys 0 #19 June 5, 2008 Where's the "both" vote. I have always lived within miles of the eastern coastline. Then I spent two months out in Arizona, just outside of Phoenix and fell in love with the mountainous/desert region there. So enlightened that I picked up a brush and started to paint along with charcoals too (its had been years since I had picked them up). Awesome. I always thought that I "needed" water, but maybe just maybe I could get used to the mountains too.Bobbi A miracle is not defined by an event. A miracle is defined by gratitude.

tigra 0 #20 June 5, 2008 I love the ocean, any ocean. I didn't grow up near one, nor do I live near one now but if I'm near the coast I always make sure I make a trip to a beach and get my toes in the surf. I even did this at the Jersey shore on late October one year. It was a 2 hour drive from where I was staying and really cold but I didn't care! I love being at the beach or on the ocean in a boat and I love the sound and feel of the surf. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bobbi *** I am kinda with you on this one, I love the beach, East Coast more so than the West, but the beach is just so wonderful. I have also spent time in AZ, but the Rockies and CO are just majestic. I would be hard pressed to make a decision. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
legalart 0 #22 June 5, 2008 I love my San Diego, been here since I was 7 years old. After living in Utah and D.C. for a while I am grateful to be home. I just moved back to Mission Beach (a peninsula between the Pacific Ocean and Mission Bay) after living 5 miles inland. If I can get used to all the young women in skimpy bikinis I think I may grow to like it here at the beach. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

guppie01 0 #24 June 5, 2008 Mountains for sure. I often have nightmares of tsunami's - I even get overwhelmed sometimes (like a sinking feeling) driving along PCH looking at all the water. I am also terrified of what lies beneath the surface of the ocean. I am okay in the ocean or the beach, but I am at peace in the mountains. g "Let's do something romantic this Saturday... how bout we bust out the restraints?"
