He's not asking for BPing spot, just nature spot... at least I think that's what he was asking.

One of mine sadly no longer exists. I grew up in the woods around Morgan Creek in Chapel Hill, NC. I spent a great deal of time just wandering through the woods, following "landmark" trees (giant oaks left standing in the days when the pine woods were once farm fields), creeks and remains of old cabins and barns. There was a particular old foundation I used to walk to on a regular basis... it was a "thinking spot" for me. Sometime in the '90's a new development went in across the creek from my parent's house, and I was back wandering the streets, annoyed at the loss of "my" woods. Sure enough I came upon my secret spot from the opposite direction, within easy view of the new street. I'm sure that old foundation was long ago razed for a "new" house. It made me cry.

Another favorite spot is the top of Jane Bald, just up from Carver's Gap on the AT in NC. One of the few true accessible balds in that area... on a clear day you can see for miles and miles and miles (ok, I'm channeling an old song... sorry <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />).
