      Some is ok. Bucketfuls aren't quite as enjoyable when you're just trying to get home.

    Since my heater core is out in my truck, I drive with my windows down to avoid fogging up my windows. I consider this experiencing nature. :)

    I already hike quite a lot, practice leave no trace principles (and trace removal for others who may not be so courteous), and take my dogs out every time I can. However, I love exploring and finding new hiking areas... every time I do, the new place is always my "favorite" :) I don't think there's a single place in the PNW that isn't on my list of favorites. I obviously live in the right place. I can't wait for hiking in the snow!!
