This or That: Mountains or Sea for your natural activities?
Depends how high the mountains are (not that you have to be a well equipped mountaineer to climb them :-D ). If they are easy to cross I choose mountains, especially If there are also lakes nearby :-))
I love the ocean and the beach but if I had to chose, it would probably be the mountains. One reason, my wife prefers the mountains and I'd rather have her with me to share our natural activities! :-)
Definitely the sea. Don't get me wrong. I love my cabin in the foothills of the Smokie Mountains but the beach is my church. I feel so at peace when at the beach, and the nude beach and being able to surf nude is the bomb.
I remember when I lived in SoCal in the early 80's and driving north on PCH and looking to the left at the Ocean and looking to the right at Snow capped mountains knowing I could be in either place in a matter of and hour or so. And what a view it was.

One of many reasons we live here. Being an hour to an hour and a half from the ocean/beaches, mountains/rivers/streams/snow, the desert and all it offers and the continued sunshine for probably over 95% of each year.
Lots of naysayers about So Cal or Cal all together but it's strange how many of those naysayers keep coming back here to escape their state and weather! ;D
It bothered me to put mountains first because I'm an ocean/beach kinda guy. I kept thinking about my wife and how we enjoying doing the nudist thing together and she's not a real beach person or ocean person. ;DD
I really don't know if I could choose one or the other. We just got back from Panama City Beach Fla and really didn't want to leave :-). We love just setting in the lounge chairs watching and hearing the waves. I guess really tho the mountains are our favorite place to be. I know our little Smokies aren't as big and as tall as the Rockies that some of you are referring too but we highly enjoy each and every time we go!!!!
