Lou, I only moved once in my childhood, in 8th grade, but to me it was a big deal. I didn't keep many friends from HS. I managed to keep in touch with college frineds, and they have been my salvation these days. (I am going to "new house" friend's old place tonight for dinner and Bocce. I couldn't twist his arm hard enough over the phone for camping, but maybe in person .
If I go solo, there are two different fun places I would like to go , but one was introduced to me by OM, so I think that one is out. The second is a hike, to a lake with loons and a lean-to. I can picture myself there, a loon listening to loons in a lean-to. I think it is a relatively short hike...approx 3+ miles one way. 31% chance of T-Storms, so it would be pragmatic to carry the tent. I would go light with food for a hike.
