(for Ages 16-18) Hike to a natural spring in your area. Enjoy the fresh smells and scenery. Leave behind nothing but footprints, take nothing but pictures. Leave things better than you found them (pick up trash so others can enjoy the trail). Go for a boat or ferry ride. Many large cities offer boat tours. Lie on your backs on a grassy hill or meadow and pick out cloud formations. Take a gunnysack and go pine-nut hunting. Roast pine nuts over an open fire. Pick up a kite and sandwiches. Go on a hike to a place where you know there is going to be some wind. Have lunch, then assemble and fly the kite afterward. Go to the sand hills or any sandy area and run bare-footed. If you want to see if you are in good shape, climb to the top of a large sand dune. Avoid hiking in areas allowing motorized vehicles. On a hot day, slip away to go wading in a stream. See who can find the smoothest stones. Play catch with a glow-in-the-dark Frisbee. If your date appreciates baseball, take a big blanket (and maybe some candles and snacks) and go to a little baseball field at night. Lay in the middle of the diamond and star gaze. Have a water balloon fight. Make sure to clean up afterwards. Plant trees together. Look for a local organization that will provide trees and training. Bring sack lunches or cook hamburgers and hotdogs afterwards. Rent a small electric generator from an equipment rental shop. Take the generator, at least 200 feet or longer of electrical extension cords, fire wood, matches, marshmallows, a coat hanger, a few good movies, a small color TV and a VCR to a fire pit approved secluded location. Place the generator as far away as possible, make your campfire and roast your marshmallows, while watching a video. Hike across a nearby bridge. Favorites are the Golden gate in the West, or any of the NYC bridges in the East. Float inner tubes on a river (wear life jackets). Go horseback riding. Look in the phonebook under horseback riding rental or lessons. If you are experienced, look for a stable that will let you ride without a guide and defined trail.
