PBRbor Day: Here’s to trees!

This is real, and I encourage everyone to participate.

All you have to do is go into the woods on April 24th and drink a beer. Mark your calenders; nothing beats tree-hugging and beer-chugging.

In case you have very little experience with nature walking, camping, hiking, are unable to locate a tree near your home, or have never been outside, Lonely Planet made things easy and put together a guide featuring the best places in America to experience nature with a beer in hand. Not surprisingly, the Pacific Northwest was first on the list.

The Oregon coast’s burly shoreline and giant, old growth forests were highlighted as the premier spot for activities like tide-pooling and lighthouse visiting and… no, not antiquing and bridge-playing. PBR drinking — they suggest taking along an 18 pack. But seriously, the Oregeon coast is super scary and really awesome and you should go. And if my descriptive and alluring attempt at a boost in Oregon tourism wasn’t enough, let me remind you that Goonies was filmed there.

Other ideal destinations featured in the guide: Vermont, the South (all of it?), California, Utah and New Jersey (there are trees in NJ!). Grab some tallboys and hit the road. This is America.
