I've always thought it would be fun to load my golf clubs up in the C5 and take the auto train down to Florida. Once there I would work my way back up the east coast playing a different course in a different state each day.

Pity bumps, don't count

[theandies]

Knocked a couple out in the past year.
Octoberfest in Munich
UNC vs. Duke Basketball game live at the Dean Dome.

Others:
Own a brand new Corvette (I have a used one which was another item on the list)
Go see Mt. Everest from base camp. If I were younger I'd try to summit.
Go to space
Drive an F1 car (Did the Petty Experience and drove a NASCAR).

I already drove the entire length of the BRP. Drove on the Autobahn. Traveled some of the Tubes in London. Several rivers in Europe.

Orient Express, maybe?

[Mick]

Visit all 50 states, 14 to go.

Fly an airplane.

A few travel destinations.

1.This is an out of the ordinary I am considering. My son works for a Livermore labs and moved to SLC a few years ago. I have not been up to visit yet but when I go, I want to go see that.


I've been to some places while traveling and did not see what the big deal was. Niagra Falls. It was nice but sure as hell was not worth the trip. I was ready to leave 10 minutes later.

Went to Livermore Ca to visit my son who now lives in SLC. He took me into town (San Francisco) and we went to the Wharf and saw some rats.

The Wharf was fun but I saw Alcatraz and the Golden Gate. It was okay. We're heading to Red River & Taos for a week. Nice place to relax and mosey around and not be pressed to see shit.

We're not all that far from the Grand Canyon but never been. I have a feeling it will impress me about as much as Niagra falls, so the plan will be to swing by and continue on to Las Vegas


Meet Lars.

I’ve been to some places while traveling too and don’t get all the excitement either. Niagara Falls, Grand Canyon, Rocky Mountain National Park, Florida Keys, Venice, Istanbul, Florence, Pompeii, Barcelona, Cannes, Rome, Capri. So boring. I should just stay on my side of the tracks and drink bud light out of a can and eat frozen pizza.

One item on the list I can share was checked off when I was a youngster in better shape than today. Our Indian Guide group stayed together through the years and did a lot of backpacking. One trip led us to the base of Half Dome in Yosemite. The next day we scaled the backside to the top-this was when you didn't need a permit, and you could camp on top. We did just that, and I recall looking up at the night sky with billions, and billions of stars while bundles up in a mummy bag. As we were preparing our site (big long saddle-shaped area up there on top), we watched two fools jump over the side. One guy's parachute opened fully, and the other guy's partially opened. He survived, barely, with help from trees.
First picture is us, the others are from search on web. Anyone else been up there?

Not the top, but I know dozens who did a BASE jump off of there.

When you say fools, you weren't kidding. A few ruined it for the rest of us jumpers.

To meet Yadkin in person and present him with a gold-plated slide rule and a fresh pocket protector.

We did the AutoTrain last November. I spent my career in the rail supply industry and always thought it would be fun to do. I’m glad we did it but I will never do it again. Could not sleep (the AT only runs overnight) due to all the bumping and jerking motions. It is not the gentle rocking that has been sold as part of the appeal. Also the engineers have to sound the horn at every at grade crossing (there are a lot of them). Even with having a bottle of scotch in the room to help me sleep it was no bueno

On the plus side, I’m sure you could find plenty of interesting courses as you work your way up the I95 corridor

yeh, seeing things in person is nice but just does not seem worth the time and effort. I'd like to see Mt Rushmore and Little Big Horn but want something substantial along the way somewhere
