I think there is a rule about discussing illegal acts, thus I can’t tell you what it is I do for adventure. 😛

These days it’s motorcycling, bicycling, hiking, mountainbiking in that order. Mostly motorcycling to explore my neck of the woods. I used to mountainbike much more than I do now. I go hiking once in a blue moon.

If I want to really push myself physically and mentally and get some yahoos out of it I’ll go on some hellacious bike ride.

Nice timing. Good for you!

As for me, sorry, but I’m sworn to silence.

Hunting and fishing are my biggest two right now. A motorcycle is in the near future as I already have my license. Previously I have hiked portions of the Appliachian Trail, I have ridden a bicycle the whole length of the B&O canal over a 4 day Columbus Day weekend (Cumberland, Md to the boathouse in DC.), and I have camped at Valley Forge in February during a reenactment. I have camped in the Florida Keys in the middle of summer and the Pine Barrens in NJ (home of the Jersey Devil). Before I die I hope to hunt bear, elk and sheep up north. I would also like to land a shark, I have caught one before but I lost it before I got it back to the boat.
