High Adventure
OPINION People sometimes ask which of my outdoor adventures was the most fun. I get the impression they think the life of an outdoor humor columnist is glamour and glitz pretty much all the time, but that’s not the case. Sometimes it’s glitz and glamour, and sometimes it’s just glamour with no glitz. You have to take the good with the good.
Honestly, though, I have to admit I’ve had some great times outdoors. I’ve gone canyoning in Colorado and Mexico, backpacking in Alaska, and my family once spent a night in the camping section of the Bass Pro Shops store in Springfield, Missouri. And for the record, I don’t think it was our fault those turtles escaped from the fishpond and destroyed the place. I haven’t trusted a turtle since.
