Bucket List
Thought I would throw this out there out of curiosity.
The highest percentage of us are older, so, I'm figuring many might have some thoughts on this issue. Maybe some have already satisfied their desires.
I don't expect a whole lot, but, there are a few things I would still like to do and places to see.
My first career transferred me across the country, so I became a career renter. Main thing on my list was to buy my own home so I had a place to leave to my son. I achieved that at a late age.
Although I have traveled the country a lot, still have not seen the Grand Canyon...hope to do so.
Anyway, I think of this topic a lot anymore, as I'm not getting any younger and a couple health issues are prompting these thoughts.
Please share if you wish to. Maybe things already realized, or things planned/hoped for.

Re: Bucket List
Hey Mark. Yeah, ubetcha. I want to start around Corpus Christe around November 1st. Camp and fish the entire Gulf coast to the Keys. An active snow avoidance project.
May need a better kayak.

Re: Bucket List
Sounds like a GREAT plan! That's what I'm talkin' about....all for snow avoidance also.
Went skiing a lot in my youth, but don't dare now!

Re: Bucket List
Had 3 guys on harley's tailgating me real bad the other day. Real bad. Like right on my back bumper. I was doing speed limit on highway. No pass lane for them. When they did get a lane to pass I let 'em have it as they went by by window....words my mom would not be proud of. One of them looked so I know he heard me. As they got past me....Hells Angels.
So if cussing out a Hells Angel wasn't on my bucket list, it oughta be...

I know you cannot carry. But dang! None of us need those jerks. Glad you could shrug it off.

I'll think about a bucket list when the never ending punch lists wind down...

Re: Bucket List
I have been in Nor Cal and seen the coastal redwoods but Id sure like to make it Kings Canyon and see the General Sherman and General Grant tree someday.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Re: Bucket List
Sounds interesting Al.
I have no desire to be a world traveler. There is enough to behold on this continent. Not to mention, I don't intend to get on a plane again untill my Dad in Denver passes. Even then, I might drive. Oh.....have no desire to jump out of a plane either.
Will leave that to our great men and women in uniform.

Re: Bucket List
The FAA had me flying around the country a lot but always in the air. Now that I'm retired the Wife and I take our motorhome wherever the whim demands.
We've done the East, South, Southwest, but not the West as in California. Been to the Calgary Stampede and the Grand Canyon though.
We usually don't stay in one place more than a week at the most, and then we move on. We might hear about something we've not seen,
and off we go.
But it always feels good to be back home in the Spring.
We're also loners and travel alone most of the time.
