I was raised in the West, but my ideal career is in DC. Backpacking in the East sucks ass. The nature is vastly inferior. How do I cope?

go home to your desert rocks a couple of times a year
Learn to enjoy things and stop shitting up the board
Go to Maine.
looks good but
>17 hour drive
fly into carrabasset valley. enjoy
You can take a train almost the whole way.
>muh heckin public transport
>my ideal career is in DC
stay inside the blast radius.

Had a friend who moved to DC to get his foot in the door for a far better position and pay in his industry.
He was able to move back out west within 2 years, ratcheting up his pay and status considerably. He fricking hated DC & Alexandria (is that the Virginian commuter city to DC?) every minute he was there.
Take the job, then immediately begin applying for your dream career in better locales. If your dream job is only in DC, consider
.
>my ideal career is in DC
suck start a shotgun
Go back to israel rabbi
You're less than 2 hours from the Appalachian Mountains moron, some of the best backpacking in the world. Plus you can actually carry there unlike most of the decent backpacking out West

If I had to choose between Appalachia, Maine, and the Outer Banks, and then the PNW and various big rocks and canyons and shit, I know what I'd choose. If you add in hunting and fishing considerations, there's no contest at all.
which would you choose?
mmm its 4-5 hours to the good stuff, the shenandoah, some of it, is 2 hours but that stuff tends to be a) more crowded and its in the rainshadow so its more dry and rocky and not as green and alive as the stuff further inland
>Backpacking in the East sucks ass. The nature is vastly inferior.
>the nature is vastly inferior
Vastly inferior to what? A big, long rock and a bunch of sandy bullshit? The tree diversity map parallels rainfall levels, and is also a good indicator of the diversity of all forms of life, not just trees. Flora and fauna ARE nature.
>Vastly inferior to what?
Vistas.
>muh vistas
>muh scale
>posts a painting
I've been to the Grand Canyon, Arches, Bryce Canyon, Zion, the BLM lands around Zion. Great places to visit, no desire to live there. I'll stay in my hills where people can walk down a steep hill behind their double-wide and into a stellar trout stream.
What ideal career is in fricking DC lmao.
nanny for CIA richfrens who live in Great Falls
>Greenridge state forest
>Washington-Jefferson National Forest
>Shenandoah National Park
Welcome to hell anon, hope you like driving.
I don't mind driving to get to the pretty.
Then those three are a pretty good start. Definitely live on the Virginia side if you can as it will probably be less expensive and will get you closer to out. And for the love of god don’t move anywhere near Baltimore.
>t. PrepHoledoorsman standed in MD
hmm where is that?
>And for the love of god don’t move anywhere near Baltimore.
i dunno patapsco can be fun
>Then those three are a pretty good start.
its funny you say that I thought you meant those are the shitty close in mountains
that's how I view them
the pretty is past the allegheny front to the west
>hmm where is that?
That's Greenridge
>patapsco
Is a parking lot. It is nice for some day hiking with a casual friend or family member but it's a small park outside of the city and besides I don't think they even allow camping, certainly not primitive camping.
>the pretty is past the allegheny front to the west
Well yes the further west you go the better your outing will be. I'm trying to give you suggestions though that aren't too much of a drive.
>West Virginia looks shitty
>patapsco can be fun
wut
Meant this for
which trail at green ridge?
green ridge is still within the rainshadow
>It is nice for some day hiking
that's all I meant
> I'm trying to give you suggestions though that aren't too much of a drive.
I'm saying they generally aren't that nice, patapsco punches above its weight for local dc/baltimore trails, all I mean
>Hey anon here's some decent acreage where you can fish, hunt, and get lost in less than 2hrs from DC
>sorry sweetie that's in le heckin rain shadow
I thought you were looking for ways to cope, not for other anons to validate your feelings while you cry. Maybe you should spend your free time at Dupont Circle, it's where all the gays hang out you'd probably love it.
I don’t mean to beat a dead horse but I just had to come back and revisit this because I can’t stop laughing at the moron who shrugs off national forests in Appalachia as not good enough but would consider living in Baltimore because some shitty urban park “punches above its weight”. You really are a fricking homosexual and deserve to live in dc with the rest of the insufferables.
WHAT? I didn't say national forests in Appalachia are not good enough. We were talking about Green Ridge, a state forest, and it is kinda meh compared to the monongahela (a national forest I quite like) or some of the more interesting state parks and state forests deeper into appalachia to the west. I'm just saying if you keep driving west PAST green ridge, there's some nifty stuff. I never said I would consider living in Baltimore and I would not...just that patapsco state park, and really parts of NE MD are actually kind of interesting if you don't want to drive 4-5 hours to get to the pretty.
>And for the love of god don’t move anywhere near Baltimore.
What's the matter, anon? Don't like Black folk?
dc is somehow less bad than baltimore despite both having you know whos
baltimore is like some sort of video game
It’s absolutely astounding that baltimore is in america. When trump said it was a craphole no one could even defend it, they were just like ‘s-shut up you..you white supremacist’. Dont even like the guy but he was bang on on that one
I get to frick black women so it’s not a total loss
Disgusting Black personfricker.
I can’t see past my utter contempt for anyone who would express a desire to live in DC.
>I can’t see past my utter contempt for anyone who would express a desire to live in DC.
There's no greater hive of scum and villainy to be found anywhere. It's one thing for a city and its sprawl to be filled with both yuppie suburbanoids and vibrant Blacks, many such cases, but to also be infected by Federal spooks, politicians, military brass, and their hangers-on is insufferable and unforgivable.
Virginia gay here
Try Old Rag, people keep getting themselves killed climbing that rocky little mountain but its worth it, its really not that fricking bad theres just so many moronic here
Go check out Washington/Jefferson National forest
Mt Rogers summit looks like the PNW
how the frick do people (mostly in the US) get themselves killed walking up a 1000m hill? here even the cows do harder, higher and longer trips up and down the mountains than the walk to Old Rag
>how the frick do people (mostly in the US) get themselves killed walking up a 1000m hill?
Sadly, some inexperienced American day hikers neglect to increase their BPM (burgers per minute) rate to account for engaging in physical activity more strenuous than embarking or disembarking from motor vehicles and walking through doorways. Their CPS (calories per second) rate crashes, leading to lightheadedness and vertigo as their adipose tissues demand lipids that simply aren't there.
>ideal career is in DC
Stay in your containment zone homosexual
The fact that you can't work remotely indicates you wanna be a fed
I have more respect for a pornstar
Actually no I don't, but you get the point
>my ideal career is in DC.
How to quickly know you will absolutely loathe someone.
>DC piggie ITT
Is there anything more despicable than a pig who is proud of being a pig? I don't expect pigs to feel any remorse for being what they are, but taking pride in it is going to far.
Three levels of pig:
>proud pig, but knows not whom he serves, just generally an idiot and the most forgivable of piggies (but still should be summarily executed)
>shameless pig, knows whom he serves; not proud of himself, just practical and self-serving, typical piggie
>proud pig, knows whom he serves, delights in being a traitor to his own people in addition to being self-serving (sociopath-tier pig, deserves to be slow-roasted on a apit)
unironically have a nice day. if your dream career is in dc you are a plague on humanity
Stop being moronic or stay out in wildfire country
say frick your "ideal career" and go live life. Being in the city isnt worth any amount of money. Unless you want to be around miserable people all the time and take 20+ years off your life
