What's On Your Outdoor/ Ham Radio/ 4-Wheel Drive Bucket List?

Have you seen the movie, “The Bucket List”? If not, you’ve probably heard about it. Briefly, it’s the story of two terminally ill men (played by Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman), who try to atone for their lives by making the best use of their final days. As they travel the country—ostensibly while terminally ill, though they appear quite healthy—they enjoy all sorts of experiences.

The term “bucket list” stems from that movie, though people don’t feel they need to be dying to create a wish list. Instead, a bucket list is a collection of goals to be accomplished before the person “kicks the bucket”.
A bucket list is helpful too, because it helps you plan long term. The key is to stretch your imagination; go beyond thinking of the typical outing. A bucket list may seem fanciful, but it can serve a very useful purpose.

***Post a reply with some of your outdoor bucket list .***

(anyone want to go with me?)

I'm really excited to be living in Alaska! There are so many great opportunities available to me here. This summer I have plans to drive up to the Arctic Ocean. I also want to drive around and camp in Denali National Park. When I leave Alaska I plan to drive the Cassiar Highway. I harvested a caribou this winter and hope to get a moose this fall. Dip net fishing of also on my list.

1. Handgun hunt for brown bear on Kodiak Island

2. 4WD expedition through the Australian outback , including the Simpson Desert, Alice Springs, Ayers Rock, Gibb River Road..................

3. The Alaskan Highway

4. Visit Midway Island

5. Elk hunt on White Mountain Apache Tribe Reservation.

On top of my list is a backpack sheep hunt in Alaska. It's very difficult to get because it's very expensive and have to get time off work for at least a month. Another way to get it is through raffles. You have to be in fantastic shape too. Some day for sure!

I'm not sure I'll be on time for the net, can I pls get a courtesy check in?

Thanks,
Roger
