What has been your favorite adventure experience?Every weekend here in Tennessee is an adventure but my favorite above ground adventure was a trip to Texas and New Mexico with friends. We spent four nights and three days paddling Boquillas Canyon on the Rio Grande River and then visited the Guadalupe Mountains for some caving. There were numerous things that went wrong on our trip, and even more that went right and that made for some of the best lifelong memories.
What would you do with $10,000?I would use the money to buy more outdoor adventure gear of course! And probably a new chest tattoo as I am also a breast cancer survivor so would like to cover up some scars.
