Yes you did. But it doesn't matter. I think it's sweet to PK in a forest. I never thought about it, and I live right by some small woods. I'll have to check it out.

And hey, they are coming out with all crazy kinds of "modern" furniture and architecture, so pretty soon, the angles and surfaces of the urban world just might closely resemble those of the forest.

Yes, way less actually, the amazon forrest alone is 1.6 million square miles, what they cut down in a YEAR is sometimes larger than the state of massachussetts, so id' say more like 1/1000 of a percent for cities or "urban", but good point!!

Idaho's about 83,000 square miles and has 1.3 million people ... in what, four cities?

Wow thanks everyone for responding. I'm going to try and go at this person by person kind of, then i'm going to explain my time there. -Thank you skipper that was some good advice.
-Manilla i don't know if i could stand living in a city, i'm a nature freak. But it is nice that you get both sides of it.
-Jmann that seems kind of silly to me, the world is becoming more urbanized but you really never know. And because i spend so much time in the woods, it's more likely i'd have to say, pk away from a bear, or coyotes.
-Unique I'll be going to mammoth cave national park sometimes soon, i plan on making a video there.
-Next two, Yes the forest is always moving, creating new envirnments. Even the rocks fall, or shift. Theres always something new
-No comment on the next few posts.
-Vic, you really should try Pking in a forest. It's quite fun. And i liked your comment about architecture, i'm a big architecture guy. Expecially ancient architecture, and fantasy architecture.
-next few posts, wow that's pretty amazing. I had no idea. Good thing i can swim fairly well


Ok now for a breakdown of my time there.
(First day) 9:00 am. Grabbed a couple fellow traceurs and headed out.
11:00 am. Went to the ranger station there, and asked around for some spots. They were incredably nice and told us what sounded like the perfect spot. We immediatly headed out. We spent about 45 minutes on trail, and 30 off trail.

Now i must describe the most beutiful thing i ever did see.  As i was walking i suddently came to a large bluff. I was on the top looking out into a valley with a fairly large stream. On the other side of the valley there was another bluff where the stream was immerging from. In the center there were ROCKS. If you have seen USF 3, the part where stephane is on all the rocks. It looked like that, for as far as you could see in both directions. Mixed in with that was intresting rock formations and large rocks. The best part was that it looked untouched. I saw only one non animal trail. And that was about 5 minutes after we got off the main trail. I was seriously suprised that this wasn't a famous place. We did parkour there until we could BAIRLY move. We then kind of climbed into a cave and set up camp. We fell asleep with the sun.

(Second day) We woke up with the sun. After this i lost track of time. We packed up and trained a little more. We then packed up and went to the main tourist attraction. Garden of the gods itself. (The illinois one). Here we did alot of bouldering. There wasn't alot of versatility. But we definatly improved our climbing skills. We headed home pretty early because of how tired we were.

Sorry for monster posting. Sorry i don't have word on my computer right now so i can't exactly spell check.
Thank you once again everyone for posting. And i have to tell you guys all how awesome my dad was (Mr. Cyanide for you beast coasters. You know the old guy.). Not only did he take us there, he hiked with us, Did parkour with us, and tought me alot of stuff about the woods i didn't know.

--Peace.

Whether or not a crisis ever comes, the simple fact that you are prepared will make you a better person in that you will be more courageous, more secure/ less paranoid, stronger inside and out, and more apt to survive... come whatever

yeah, i just went to philmont (a boy scout camp in new mexico in which you backpack for two weeks) and i thought that it would be a good time for some pk training. it was awesome. that was the best balance training i have ever had, just because we were hiking over tons of loose rocks with a 40 pound pack on your back. it made me really aware of foot placement, and just the position of all of my limbs, because if i wasnt aware of them, i could go falling off a huge cliff. (this one kid with no coordination whatsoever almost did. )

anyways, i loved being a nature traceur for 2 weeks
