Growing up in the Midwest, most of the natural scenery consists of small wooded areas in the midst of suburbia. As kids, all the fantastic landscapes we saw in video games and movies created a longing inside of all of us for places just like this. Even without some epic quest to go on, the feeling is still the same.
