The Five on My List

1.Venice w/ Tra.  2.Do The Snake w/ Brooke. 3.An African Hunt 4.Pursue Cut Throats via the fly on Missoula, Montana's Blackfoot River. 5.Thru-hike The Appalachian Trail solo.


I. Tracey has always wanted to go to Venice and If you know me, you know I'm a foodie.  With that being said,  why not dream of Italy. In the many thoroughfares of water, I want to be able to take a gondola venture to San Marco, eat real pizza, see all the architectural art.  The trip is not the goal as much as giving Tra her dream. Sorry Brooke, this one for mom and me.


II. If you know Brooke, you know she is a river nut.  Every day that she thinks we can get a trip in on the river she pushes me until I take her.  Our kayaks have logged a many  o' miles on the mighty Ararat. I don't know if it is the name or the location on the river that intrigues me the most, But The Snake is the river trip I dream off. Sorry Tracey, this one is for Brooke and me.


III. Not sure why on this on? Its not as much of a killing thing but a stalking thing.  It is a chance to hunt things that hunt us. In college, Josh and I would watch hunting videos form Africa (Black Death was our favorite.) That was the start I figure. Sorry family, I guess Josh will be with me on this.


IV.  This may go back to favorite movie of mine.  Fly fishing is a passion of mine, from tying my own flies to cooking my fish if catch. Taking Bill with me on this on. 


V.  Last on this list, but first on my bucket list. When I say Thur-hike, I mean only with the supplies I take in, non stop from Maine to Georgia. This should take seven months of my life, but not waisted.  I planning this when Brooke starts college. Sorry all, I'm only taking God with me on this one.

  3. Our trip was the 20º Stone Mountain trip, which I may say was one of the best camping trips I've been on. We must take Mom & Dad this spring.
