timelovesahero Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 So what is y'all's most crazy life goal?Mine? I want to swim with blue whales. I just want to see what the largest animal looks like in person. It is an incredibly tough task and will probably require (a) a private charter of a boat (which I lack the money for) and ( lots of patience (which I lack the time for).

'Roos Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Cape horn most likely, but whatever boat I'm with, I'll stay on that one. I'd love to go on a ship like the Picton Castle, or something - would be so awesome! Quote Link to comment
Atalan Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Thru-hike the North Country Trail. It is over twice the length of the Appalachian Trail (4,600 miles compared to 2,184 miles).I also want to complete the Triple Crown of distance hiking (Pacific Crest, Appalachian, Continental Divide), with all thru-hikes.

Guest Snake McClain Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 i'm going to throw a real life goal that isn't that crazy and a truly crazy one out there.1) finish writing, find an artist and publish my comic books.2) (crazy goal time) get stranded in the woods (on purpose bear grylles style) and survive finding my way back to civilization with no help. if i die i die. However i'm not doing anything to work on this goal so that probably wont ever happen. Quote Link to comment
scuddle Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Mine is to hike the Camino de Santiago (starts in Southern France and ends on the westernmost edge of Spain) fully.

CLA4JC Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 I don't have any goals I consider outlandish. Honestly none of these seem that outlandish.MirGGS -- yours may be the hardest, as it takes a level of luck (when preperation meets opportunity). Practice hard and get out in front of people.morethanjustamom -- tell your husband to find a job he likes now. life is far to short to wait and the cost of stress is far greater than you may think.

Philociraptor Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 I want to learn lot of things: Kung Fu, Parkour, to play guitar and piano, to speak Spanish, drive stick shift, ride a bike, swim, and cook good enough for a restaurant. I also want to jump high enough to jump over a moving car. Quote Link to comment
AKLulu Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 I've never been one for outlandish goals, so mine is fairly tame, but I have always wanted to hike the Telaquana Trail in southwestern Alaska. It's an ancestral trail (though there's not actually a trail) for the Dena'ina people (part of my heritage) of that area. My mom, dad, and some of his brothers hiked a short bit of it about 9 years ago and my late uncle, Frank, wrote a pretty neat article about it Quote Lulu : one that is remarkable or wonderful (it's in the dictionary, it must be true) Battle Log | Pinterest | Twitter | Instagram Link to comment

I would live in a tent (seriously) and be content if he would just walk away, but his sense of responsibility is too deeply ingrained. No risks with a family to support.

Y-Not Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Hmmm, good thread. I've never dreamed too big. Always just kinda been content to do what is expected of me. The biggest dream I've ever really had is to own a business of some sort. The most popular idea being computer repair shop since that is what I do. Even through threw together some documents about it at one point. Now, I'm going to step back and dream bigger for a few moments.-compete in the Finals of a World Footbag Championship-fill a passportthat's all I can think of.

Rosie Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Move to Australia. Doesn't sound particularly outlandish to some but I visited last year and fell in love with the place. There's so much keeping me in the UK though (family, friends etc) that its a pretty unrealistic goal for me.
