Bests:
Hiking: Was definitely coming through the trees up on th AT right around Bake Oven Knob and just seeing the view that was hidden but only a couple branches.

This was the view from that point. It was pretty incredible though.
Camping: This had to have been at the Keys in Florida. This particular night was great because it was Sea turtle egg laying season. At around 2 in the morning, you could just hear something pretty big making a lot of noise like rocks hitting each other. You couldn't really see anything, but the nigh was so beautiful anyways, just hearing it was experience enough.

This was the sunset that night.

Worsts:
Hiking: Getting lost in Ricketts Glen State Park. The park is huge and we had no map, no compass, and just enough food and water to make it through the night. We ended up just picking a direction(which was down the mountain) and hiking until we found a road. That road was about 15 miles away which was the highway and that was at 11:00pm about 4 hours after it got dark.
Camping: The camping was actually great, but when I was about 10 years old I woke up from a night int he tent and had a Daddy Long Leg just surrounding my left eye. It was nothing, but as a kid, that scared the hell out of me. Needless to say I didn't like 8 legged creatures for a long time.
