Remember when you were a youth and you dreamed of driving, maybe going across country, hitting concerts in the big city, maybe sleeping on a warm beach? Well, there's no way to feel young again than to refind yourself. Put on some groovy tunes, some flowing clothing, and let the wind through your hair.
Here's some ideas to recreate the excitement -
water holes and rope swings
Pack a picnic, bring a towel, and lots of sunblock. There's something about the cool waters of a water hole, a rope swing, and some good friends to make amazing memories.
Here's some suggestions -
French Creek in Chester County PA
Fawn's Leap in Catskills, NY
Lawson's Quarry Vinalhaven, ME
Rattlesnake Pool Stowe, MD
Bridal Veil Falls, Tallulah Falls, GA
Slide Rock, Sedona, AZ
Cummins Falls, Jackson County, TN
Madison Blue Spring, Madison County, FL
Barton Springs, Austin TX
Blue Hole Park, Wimberly, TX
Hoyt's Crossing, Nevada City, CA
agritourism
Stay overnight at farms, volunteer at a farm, perhaps stay at a vineyard, or go to season events like peach picking or strawberry patches.
zip lines
You might have once been a skater or raced your car, did crazy spontaneous things. There's nothing safer but still thrilling than taking a zipline.
Here's just some of them -
WildSide MegaZip, Pigeon Forge, TN
Soaring Tree Top Adventures, Durango, CO
Hocking Hills Zipline, Rockbridge, OH
Skull Canyon Zipline, Corona, CA
drum circles and zen healing
There's plenty of spiritual-based spas to attend in the US, but my highest recommendation is Sedona, AZ.
hippie-themed AirBnbs
There are some great recreations of years past. I love The Shady Dell in Bisbee, AZ. It has a great hippie vibe with rooms rented out in things like a yacht, a bus, campers, airstreams.
Here's some others -
Hippie Hilton at Ruidoso Valley in Ruidoso, NM
Yurts and Glamping camps
Hippie Haven Cottage in Dayton, OH
Happy Hippie House in Asheville, NC
Look up hippie-themed AirBNBs.
Rent a vw van
Head to a taco stand, ride up an ocean highway, take a ride along roadways and vacations spots of your youth.
