Vacationing in a Bad Economy

Gas is coming down from the $4.00 mark, but $2.75 is bad enough to cramp the vacation budget. It is time to examine the local getaways. In my area we have adventure opportunities around every corner: hunting, fishing, camping, biking, hiking, golf, sailing, and much more. I used to think I had to be far away to "be away", but if I am in the woods (without my cell phone) am I not far enough? Take a look around and get outside. Do not let these tough times make you feel you cannot take some time for stress relief. Find something local, ride your bike there and have some fun!
