I think everyone should spend at least one night in their lifetime in the woods alone. Bring a blanket. Lie on the ground, stare up at the wonder that is the night sky and listen. When was the last time most people really listened without hearing a car alarm or cell phone? You need to get as far away from the city lights as possible to really appreciate this. From where I am I can see the outer edge of the Milky Way on a moonless night.
