You decide who will win $10,000, embark on an expedition in a Winnebago RV, and appear in Outside Magazine
I can't get there in an RV but I dream of visiting Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park more than any of the parks. I have a half sister and two half brothers that I've never met in person that I would love to share with my sons while visiting! My other top dream spots include Glacier National Park, Redwoods National and State Parks, Grand Canyon National Park and Canada's Banff National Park. I have a Cannuck friend who lives nearby and we want to explore Banff together after 25 years of friendship!
What has been your favorite adventure experience?My favorite adventure experience of all times was as an Ocean Lifeguard in South Carolina. I experienced everything from a young boy getting bit by a 6 foot Tiger Shark to outrunning a water spout turned huge funnel cloud on my four wheeler. Some days I spent over 15 hours a day on the beach and went over 40+ days without a day off. I found countless sharks teeth and other fossils and treasures along the shore. Nothing compares to the locals and travelers I met along the way! I love them all!
What would you do with $10,000?I will tithe my winnings first and then use it wisely! We have all learned just how precious life is and how quickly it can be lost in these past few years. I've done my best to give my sons everything they've ever needed. To be able to go explore further than SC together as a family and to share those core memories with them is a dream that I've never been able to provide them as a single Mom. I'm thrilled at the possibility to have the chance to explore the country with my sons!
