I did inherit some level of the desire for adventures from my Dad.
He was always fascinated with seeing new things and places, had us out on the San Juan's, the coast and up in the mountains multiple times in the first few years we were out here, this was 1968-72 time frame.

Now and then I scratch that itch with a drive in the 911, a walk or bicycle ride often solo, not that I don't enjoy my wife's company, I do she's a great adventure partner!!
Got her peeing in the woods and everything. She will not however spend the night in anything without a solid wooden frame and roof.

I do cherish solo trips... at least a few times a year I'll get in an overnight (or two) trips in areas within hours of home.
Hard to put into words how much time spent outside means to me, very lucky to be able to still do my own stunts.

Here's my most recent, attempting to catch and hold the glorious Alpenglow that is extra long now, goes on for hours before needing a flashlight.
