Never had experiences as a kid with this stuff, so decided one day to start a new tradition with my kids. Since 2014, we average about 45,000 miles a year in a truck to chase down food paradise hot spots in the USA.An acid trip back in the early 80s.
Tons of memories, the kids love it, 32 states and counting, and I couldn't be more blessed with these troopers that love seeing this great land and all of the hidden gems.
However, with that said, Dad also plans his own trips to add to the bucket list. I bought a Harley and have a dozen bike trips on the docket, I bought a yacht and have some sailing trips planned... wait, I didn't buy a yacht, scratch that, had too much to drink and had dreams again the other night...
Either way, saw this and just died laughing. Mind you, may need help from 2 of my 3 favorite G's to verify (Google and @Gordi ) but if this is legit I'm totally bringing the Harley on an international trip!
Legit or not, what's the best trip you've taken, OR the best trip you can imagine taking? Not opposed to air travel stories, but curious to hear from true wanderers and be inspired.
On a serious note : Probably a 2 month (January and February) military "ahem" hiking expedition in the Scottish highlands with nothing but a bin bag, some parachute cord, service knife, the clothes on my back, light webbing, an SLR 7.62 rifle and 55 other troop members.
And sometimes if we deserved it a Nissen Hut or a dead sheep buried under the snow to use as a ski ramp
Only 17 of us finished.
The good old days....
I still don't understand why the Kamikaze pilots wore helmets!
