My Idea Of Fun Is

when there is no obligation or imposed pressures,
as retired life permits, almost everything you
do can and should be approached as 'fun'. My favorite outdoor 'fun' activity would be rafting a white-water river with many ongoing Class 3 - 4
rapids. Once the river runs were completed & we're back on shore the day would be folllowed by a couple of cold beers (or martinis), a nice campsite meal and swaping river stories in front of a large campfire.
