What has been your favorite adventure experience?My favorite adventure experience was hiking 28 miles into the Marble Mountain wilderness of northern California and living off the land with just a few basic items and a fishing pole for 17 days. It was like going back in time. Beautiful scenery. Butterflies that land on you and deer that act like they have never seen a human before. No light pollution so the stargazing was phenomenal. Wondering if any human has ever stepped foot in your exact location before. No cell phones, just living!
What would you do with $10,000?Whatever I can do to improve the lives of my wife and three daughters. One example is investing in my children's education. I have one daughter in community college and two more currently in grade school. Another example is investing in our home and property such that my family lives comfortably and I can leave a valuable real estate asset to my children when I'm gone. Any extra, I would save for hard times or only spend on something we really need.
