I hear you, man - growing up in Indiana - there's a lot of country round there - cornfields as far as the eye can see - never really appreciated them growing up , but that's probably the biggest thing I miss from home - being able to get away.

The gf & I went to the Red River Gorge over the weekend - we climbed up some boulders to chill and smoke for minute - In the 20 minutes we sat there, there wasn't any time that someone wasn't walking by.

I like getting away from all the people & cars & stuff & BS of civilization, not bring it to the woods with me

Devils lake State Park Wisconsin,  It's only 3 hours away from were I live but it feels like the other side of world. The colors are probably magnificent right now.

Count me in as another person missing San Francisco. I've only been there once, but I had such a great time that I want to go back. My sister and I are trying to plan something, money and time permitting.

Currently, I most often miss having a tranquil state of mind (which for me is a place).

I have missed this forum, but as of late, have had remarkably little to say so I haven't been hanging out.

Outside of my head, I miss the coasts of Washington and Oregon, especially during the winter storms.

I miss my grandmother's house where, when she was still alive, I'd help her make soup with homemade noodles and watch shooting stars at night while she told me stories.  

For those who feel that they hold psychic claims on a particular landscape, check out this amazing book: Landscape and Memory by Simon Schama.

I miss the area I grew up, the Sacramento Valley. The longer I live in a city, the clearer it is to me that I belong back where I'm from. I've been thinking about that a lot lately.

I miss the North America of not to long ago, the one without Wal-Mart, Home Depot and all the other godforsaken box-store chains that have ruined or are ruining all that was good about urban society.

The top of Haleakala (Volcano in Maui).  People will pick you up at your hotel at 3 a.m. and truck you to the top (11,000 feet or so - cold and full of snow when we were there), the sun pops out of the Pacific at 6ish, and you spend the rest of the morning hauling ass down the volcano roads on a bike (you peddle exactly once).  My favorite memory of my wife and I.
