"I'm bored."
"Yeh, there's noth'n to do around this town."
Sound familiar? Well, I once asked a group of high school students what they like to do. That gave us a list to start with. So that is how this page got started. If you have some ideas you would like to add to the list, let us know. In this list we have tried to pick those activities which can be done with little or no money, done at home, with just one or a few people (no team required), and mostly done without lots of special equipment. For a list of more activities that involve more people, need a special location or equipment, etc, see the note below the chart about our Recreation page.
It is true that some acitvities can't be done in every town. That is why we have tried to include as many differnt things as possible in the list. If you are alive and still breathing on your own, you are sure to find some things in this list that you will enjoy.
