Lived in Texas all my life, sans 3 years, and I never got bored..I think you're doing it wrong. There are people in the deep east and out west that spend so little time indoors it would make your head spin.

Palo duro, enchanted rock, guadalupe peak, big bend which would take you a month to do... There is no doubt that certain places in Texas will bore you to death, you just have to move around from that area. Like the pan handle for example..we could give that away as far as I am concerned. I am from the coast (outside Houston), or I could run out and visit Rayburn or Toledo Bend, or short stint up north to Caddo and get really off grid for a while.

Just PM me, tell me what you want to do, and I can probably find you something to do.
People go camping when it's 103 degrees and 95% humidity? That's just no fun. I'll admit that coastal fishing is decent, but most everything here in Texas requires massive driving and then when you get there, it literally sucks compared to the same types of things in western states. Hiking, hunting, skiing, cycling, climbing, mountain fishing, escaping to cool forests to camp in the summer, etc. The list could go on and on, and while Texas has some of these things, they are poor in comparison. Heck, even just amazing roads with views and turns, yes I know the stuff near Austin and the hill country, but the main point is these are exceptions and very limited. Quality of life. I find quality of life to be far higher in other states, and it's about far more than just money.
