Have You Tried Anything Adventurous?

Ther's adventure, and there's foolhardiness, not a lot of people know that (as Michael Caine may say) so think carefully about your next adventure, as it's easy to break a hip, and even a neck!I definitely have a think these days before I do something, but am not afraid of heights, only of constricted places.

Forgot about white water rafting. Done lots of that. I chickened out of a gorge jump in South Africa but my DH, his daughter and her fiance' did it. Lots of screaming. Will will do ziplining when we go back to Thailand.

Florida is formed on coral rock, vs the rocks and stones from the ice age....so, the land is basically flat. Love to go Ocala, for they do have some rolling hills. We do not even have rocks, have to make our own out of concrete. LOL

Why thank you, Holly. It is just the wrinkles are not visible in pictures :wink1: Jumping out of planes was a long time ago, when I was taking flying lessons. Afraid my brave things were not as physical as those of you all. Rather things like taking Black service wives to register to vote. Arguing for their rights, in a very segregated southern town, before the civil rights marches. Going into wooded homeless camps, looking for Vietnam vets, that missed their anti-psychotic shots...or to give tb shots, after even male nurses refused to do it. Going into crime ridden public housing, in the middle of the night. Walking through gangs, to attend a death. Having interracial foster children, before it was accepted, in segregated communities. I do not know if I was brave or just stupid ;(

Yes it is I put a link in post that will take you to more information, It is sadly also the place that madman shot and killed 35 innocent men woman and children.
 
I'm not climbing any tall buildings. The most adventurous thing I have ever done was 4 wheeling around some cliffs in the mountains of Colorado. Had a tour guide and it was fun, but no guard rails on the mountain cliffs that we went around. I wouldn't do it today.

Yes, looked through my flickr albums and it was Port Arthur. I must have heard about the massacre while there but had forgotten. It was 2009 we were there.

Yeah, but Florida has gigantic bugs, 'gator wrasslin' and neat hurricanes!

Plus, you could always go skinny-dipping in the Everglades ...

Is skinny dipping in the Everglades the reason your voice is so high?

I've been kayaking in the Gulf where gators were known to be around somewhere. How I agreed to this I'll never know. My DH is fearless.
This the sign next to where we launched:
