    Crawford Lake Conservation Area, near Campbellville, ON.
    My dad's whole family is from there, as far back as when his great-grandfather came from Scotland. My grandfather owned it until the mid 60's when he showed a bunch of First Nations artifacts he found on his property to a guy he knew, who in turn told some other people and it got around to someone with Conservation Halton, who in turn bought the property. Now it's a huge protected area, part of the Niagara Escarpment, and there's a replica of an Iroquia village. There's trails and a huge lake...it's absolutely beautiful. It's a yearly thing for me and my dad to go there.
    It's my favourite place because my dad grew up there, he knows the land like the back of his hand, so we always go off the trails and he tells me things about all the places that no one else knows about. There's still an old foundation of the house and barn that my great-great-grandfather built.
    I always get chills when I'm there.

    Once, we went to the foundation of the old barn and I found a bunch of old horseshoes under a bunch of fallen rocks that my great-great-grandfather had made. We're always finding things around and my dad knows exactly what they are and who they'd belong to. One time I was there with him and I looked up in a tree and there was an old knife sticking out of it, about 10 ft. up. I showed my dad and he freaked out. He said that he put it there...he was out doing something with his brother and his mom came out to find them and he stabbed the knife into the tree so that his mom wouldn't see that he had it and get mad...it was one of her good knives or something lol. He said he meant to go back later and get it but he couldn't find it, and his mom always gave his brother shit for it because she thought it was him who lost it. It was weird...almost 45 years later and there it is.

    I fucking love that place...

    This little spot in the deep woods of Del Norte county. California misty redwoods...where the trees are ages old and see us humans for the interloping little cockroaches that we are.

    One of my faves is in an awesome metal club in Berlin.

    Also, I like Dun Laoghaire where I live - its right beside the sea.

    But the best would be this place beside my parents house. The bog. You can see for miles and miles and there's hundreds of insects to get bitten by :)
