    Nice catch Pub!
    A couple years ago on a snowboarding trip me, my brother and 2 friends went searching for some powder, as the conditions weren't so great. So we go "out of bounds" down the side of a run into some trees with a couple feet of heavy powder. Ends up we went down into a little valley. We walked for around 3 hours carrying our boards getting soaked, because it was snowing wet snow, until we finally made it out onto another run.

    was on tour with a band for a while. probably the best time of my life. I passed by some places on the way down to Florida that we had stopped at and had a good laugh and told some stories. never knowing where you were going to sleep, if you were going to eat, and if you were eating was the sun gonna be in the right position to warm it up on the dashboard of the van. i loved every second of it and wish I was still doing it.

    I'm an Eagle Scout, so I've had my fair share of adventures. I spent 12 days kayaking, portaging, and camping in New York's Adirondack mountains/lakes, a week hiking and white water rafting down the Colorado River, a week or ten days Scuba diving around Ft Lauderdale and the Florida Keys, etc. All trips were absolutely fantastic. I'll also hopefully be taking a cross-country road trip this summer.

    I went to Peru last summer for 3 months. There's a village there called Chicama which is home to one of the longest right breaking waves in the world. When it's working properly it measures between a mile to 1.5 miles depending on who you ask. Nobody's ever broken out the tape measure.

    I stayed at a small hotel called El Hombre for 5 bucks a night. Spent a lot of time learning to play the guitar, waiting for a big enough swell to get the place doing it's thing. I'd say I had 18 days of solid surfing time over the course of my stay. Waking up at day break, 6:00, walking up the length of the rocky point, 15 minutes, and surfing down the beach, 2 minutes, over and over and over... All day when the swell was pumping.

    You can't buy memories like. Doing 10 figure eights in a row on a 8 foot wave face...

    This deserved to get revived so...

    At my bachelor party camping trip (don't worry, nothing scandalous) we went to Summersville Lake, WV, as they have some awesome climbing there. At one point we were doing a scavenger hunt that involved jumping off some cliffs and swimming to shore. The cliff we were standing at was 60-70 feet high and had a giant log floating right underneath it. So I walked a little ways further and found a shorter cliff with a better landing area. I didn't realize at the time however, that this meant I had to swim much further to get back to the place we were going. If it wasn't for one of my friends throwing me one of those pool noodles I would have needed to get rescued I think. Definitely a good time...except for the whole 'thinking I was going to die' part.
