BUCKET LIST!

So Ive been coming up with a list of things that I might possibly want to do in life. I'm interested in what some of you might have planned or want to do. So here are some of my things off my list:
- Sky diving
- Drive a racecar
- Build a custom 2 level garage
- Travel to every exotic destination possible.

theres more but cant seem to think of them right now.


What about you guys?<!-- google_ad_section_end -->

Drive from the tip of South America to as far north as I can get in the western hemisphere in a Ford Raptor.

Here is my list (I have a lot on it but I'll state the main ones that are "family friendly") :

- Step in every US State at least once (I've stepped in 11 states so far)
- Live independently
- See a NASCAR race live
- Not ever feel alone again...

Living debt free should be the one thing on everyone's list. Achieve t that and pretty much anything else you wasn't to do is possible.

However, in the spirit of the'bucket list' I'd say I really want to ride across the country on a motor cycle, or in an RV.

I, too, would like to ride across the country on a motorcycle, but...

I would also like to do it on a bicycle, perhaps unsupported (all gear on the bike). I'm kind of jealous of some of my college-aged cycling friends who are doing Bike and Build right now (x-country bike ride with several stops along the way to help with various community building projects for a day or two here and there).

These things would definitely be years away. Too many other life responsibilities in the way right now.

Definitely some good ideas. I was also thinking of ziplining and going in a hot air ballon but I think ziplining may be pushing it.

Die hard Niner fan here but I'd love to watch the Packers play a game (not against the Niners) at Lambeau Field wearing a cheese head.

I wanna see the Green Monster in person and watch a Red Sox game.

I wanna watch the Cubs play and see the ivy covered walls of Wrigley Field. Day game only, of course.

There are actually quite a few parks in the National League and American League I wanna visit.

I wanna hit the corkscrew at Laguna.

I wanna visit every state in the union. I've already hit over 30, including Alaska twice.

I wanna skydive, but my back will probably permanently preclude that from happening.

I've already crossed a number of things off of my list, to include joining the Mile High Club!

I don't have a "bucket list" - seems rather pointless to me...

However, there is one thing I want to do at some point in my life - visit Scotland.

While there, I'd want to do the following:

Across his chest is carved McTavish. It is not known who he was, but thought that it was a Dunardry MacTavish who was so commemorated. The stone dates from the 14th or 15th century. More than one Dunardry MacTavish, including Dugald MacTavish (through which the Chiefly line passed) and his wife, Letitia Lockhart MacTavish, were buried in the Kilmartin Churchyard.

Really, I think I'd like to just travel from one end of the country to the other end and see everything I can - hell, I might never leave, lol...

Actually, this made me think of the Dragon. I am definitely going to do it in a couple of years.

TAIL OF THE DRAGON AT DEALS GAP with 318 curves in 11 miles, is America's number one motorcycle and sports car road.

I've been blessed in that I've traveled many places and done many of the above things while I was young.

Meaning before today.

Now my bucket list would be headed with;
Retirement!
That is not going to happen soon though.
