Current Goal

Hi I'm Thing #1:

My mission - what do you think?!  You know all about me, I have crazy blue hair and cause chaos where I go.  I'm a free spirit and looking for wild, wild adventures!  Pick me up and take me along on your next outing.

Here are some suggestions:  Deep powder heli-skiing, whitewater rafting (Zambezi, and Grand Canyon come to mind), wing suit flying, BASE jumping (Dubai, Petronas towers, CN tower etc. you get the idea), Bobsledding on an Olympic 4s track, formation skydiving (FAI world skydiving championships), far out mountain biking (a la Cliffs of Moher), Joining a leg of the next Ocean One Race, grabbing a couple holes at St. Andrew's golf course, a ride around the sky at Strikemaster jetfighter flights in New South Wales, Aussieland, Shotover jet boating in Queenstown New Zealand, Blackwater rafting (Waitomo Caves, NZ), Canyoning in southern France or Spain.  You get the idea - let me join you doing radical stuff.

Remember: No pictures, it didn't happen!  Please post the adventures here with a summary of the highlights.  Thanks.

About This Item

Hi, I'm Thing #1

So you want to know about me?  I'm sure many of you are familiar with my shenanigans. Check out Dr. Seuss's Cat in the hat book - here's a quick wiki summary (http://seuss.wikia.com/wiki/Thing_One_and_Thing_Two).

Dawgs in the Desert had me on their raft trip on the Lower Salmon River earlier this year (2015).  I loved the wild ride through Snow Hole Rapids, but before we went through China, I snuck off their boat and into the chache they placed along the scouting area (check out cache GC60T11 next time you are by) hedging my bet that someone else would come along that could offer me further freedom.  Ha! - I won!  It worked, and I didn't have to wait long.  I hitched a ride with the first visitor to the cache, a limnologist named Frank from the University of Idaho who was floating the Lower Salmon River with a group of friends on their annual labor day float.  I got to meet two other fuzzy dudes, Southern Flo - who's on a quest from Antarctica to the north to check out polar bears, and Big Blue who logs Frank's cache finds. Frank got all of us these cool metal ID tags that allow us to travel all over the world.  We took one picture with all of us together, but now I'm ready to get on with some more craziness.  Help me find it.
