Where's your happy place?

I'd have to say in the deer blind as well. For me it just sets everything in perspective. Getting away from the hustle and bustle, back to nature and relaxing in the calm and quiet. Particularly love in in the snow.
 
AAHHHHH!!!

My happy place

The Misty Fjord National Monument, a 1/2 day away from my door by boat. Truly a wilderness paradise for hunting & fishing.

It has always been here. Ft Walton Beach, Bayou in front, deck I built below, live oak canopy above, wife on one-side and my octogenarian parents on the other.
(but it is even better when I'm alone.)
I feel I could set there for years.

Definitely the deer stand like so many people have said......nothing like hiking up to my favorite stand with my bow in my hand.....waiting on daylight and whatever it might bring......

The great outdoors is my happy place my sanity. Tree stand, fishing pole in hand, camping. Just out and away from city life. I truly enjoy nature the piece an quite.
 
Gosh; There's so many places I've been over the years that just one is hard to describe. Had a rock I sat on for years in the Sierras that the other guys named it Dick's Rock. Took several bucks there. And a place in Southern Idaho I really liked. Took a lot of bucks there also. Now in Oregon I have another place to hunt. Beautiful country, lots of great mountains & creeks & rivers. Deer & elk all around. Bears too. All the places named have soft spot in my heart. Watching the sun come up & enjoying the beauty is the only way to go.
 
While the Flathead Valley Montana, or Vail Colorado, would make a fine happy place. The Les Cheneaux Islands, northern Lake Huron, wins hands down. I can skip out of work early Friday, and have cocktails on the dock before dinner.

Any place I can sit in peace and watch the sunset on the horizon or mountains. Living in the city/burbs makes you appreciate the prairre, mountains and desert. I love places that are wide open.

The last "happy place" I had was my Dad's backyard in the San Jose part of Bisbee AZ. I would sit and watch the sun go down beyond the mountains, sipping some Maker's or Coor's and puffing on a Havana I smuggled in from Mexico. The solitude, peace and quiet and watching the sky turn umpteen shades of orange and purple would rejouvenate me!

I've felt the same feelings in a good campsite in the Indiana woods, a lake in Florida and at sunset and dawn along the ocean.

It's been too long since I've "had" a happy place
 
Cruising on Lake Michigan in the early morning with flat water,a hot cup of coffee and my first mate.
