Show us your happy places. Spaces and places you love to spend time or hold a special place for you

I love the water. Grew up boating and did marine work for years. Boats, dock work, diving, ........ My wife grew up boating as well and had a dad that was a genuine aquaholic

It's zen for me

Love that shot. Where is it?

Estes Park in Colorado is special for me. Spent a lot of time in Fort Collins and that was our retreat after the work day/week

A particular place on the Uncompahgre Plateau:

I can see my zen place in your photo Captain Awesome... it would be that big pink floatie.

Cool train layout, HandyAndy,
We didn't have trains as kids but got pretty involved in the old H.O. racing cars. This place was the mail order capitol of the hobby back in the day...

auto world!

Handyandy I was surprised to find a huge train layout here in Oahu. They have an old farm train that they have converted that takes tourists along the coastline a few miles here. The museum there has a giant O gauge, HO, and other layouts all in one big airconditioned room.

I prefer to be out riding. Phone turned off and no sked. Here there are plenty of good paths. This is on Hickam AF base at the channel into Pearl Harbor:

People love that thing. It gets tons of float traffic

My family's summer house (where I'll be spending the next three weeks ). My grandparents bought it back in the 70's, so I've been coming here my whole life. My mum inherited it, and recently passed it along to me and my sister - that way we won't have to pay inheritance tax when her time comes, and she gets to use it as much as she wants while we do all the practical stuff (painting etc.). Win/win.

Love that shot. Where is it?

Last Summer I was doing a lot of ride/hike combos where riding into trailheads was financially more sound than driving. The shot was of The Continental Divide, taken about 200' below the summit of Mount Audobon.

Shores of the mighty St Lawrence, beside the lovely C-Dice. My happy place

No pics, as I was too happy to be there yesterday. I escaped the forest fire smoke and did a monster of a ride that beat me down like a redheaded stepchild. The singletrack payoff after all of the fire road climbing had it all, fast swoopy, chunky tech, overgrown route finding and completely void of other humanoids.

Now back to work, refreshed and ready to rock.

I'd kill for even some good fire road hammering. No hero dirt near me

There was some deep powder dirt in a few places on the doubletracks, but the singletrack was tight.

There is this "low water crossing" near my house people are always getting their trucks stuck in for years. i mean since pearl had paint and phones didn't take pictures. Nobody really knows about it unless they know someone else who showed them where it is. So it is always either empty or someone is waiting to get pulled out. I said something about it and Kate started pouting so I took her out there for a picnic. She was not mad. It is "OHV" access only at the very least. I mean I guess you could get there in a canoe.

20 mi ride on some back roads around us for a "color tour".
