Yep! I agree with ya. I was a lucky city kid. We traveled all the world. I've jumped off cliffs, swam with dolphins ( sharks, whales, and manta rays too), climbed mountains, swam in lakes. Snowboarded in Japan before most people even knew what snowboarding was.
My favorite place is in the mountains in New Hampshire. There's a waterfall that runs down the side of it. Picture a natural waterslide. You have to wear jean shorts when you do it, but it is so much FUN. I've done the polar bear swim, and walked on hot coals. I still white water raft with my Aunt who now lives in the Georgia mountains. We were NEVER bored.
That all being said, it always amazed me that some kids just couldn't SEE what was around them. I'd always point out to some of those kids.... Oh look at that nice forest you got there for hiking and exploring. They'd look at me like I had three heads. Thankfully, My daughter inherited the same interests. She likes to explore new things, and nature.
