Rising sea levels in FL

We Canadians will still be going to FL since the water is not rising as climate alarmists forecast. Here's Fernandina Beach FL which appears to have records from 1856 with a gap but the trend line is constant. Yes sea levels are rising but not at any rate which will soon cause massive flooding.

Not to say Glacier NP isn’t spectacular in its own right, but having been to both, if you can only go to one I’d say go to Banff NP and the other Canadian Rockies parks instead. I found them to be far more incredible and beautiful and amazing than Glacier. Plus they actually still have glaciers! Also there are some amazing provincial and national parks in British Columbia as well. So many places to go, so little time

With climate change, you might want to go before they change the name to Dirt National Park.

Camping

Camped at Glacier in 1972 and about a half a dozen times since the last being 2016. Drive the highway through the ice fields in the Canadian Rockies where people ride a bus to the glacier tip and you now park in a parking area that used to be covered with ice. That’s not fake news and to have seen the Recession of the ice with my own eyes is proof enough for me. Armadillos in Southern Iowa, are you kidding me?

I've done all the bucket list things, not that there aren't plenty of places I've not been to, just none I've always dreamt of seeing.

My bucket list is mostly of people that I would not miss if they did kick the bucket.

I feel bad for those that keep going back to the same-ole places. My lovely Mom told me early on. Don't do the same thing 75 times and call it a life. Eventually the body is unwilling and the memories you made sustain you.


Keep moving forward! Make NEW memories. Be safe, be well

Hi Mike
Out of curiosity I looked at your list. I feel fortunate to have experienced several of your choices. I can highly recommend camping at Devils Tower, what a great area. And another thing that I experience many years ago at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum, Cedar Rapids Iowa, and I know, not politically correct, on the undercard Midget Women Tag Team wrassling. The feature was probably something like “Dick the Bruiser” vs “Mad Dog Vachon”.
And the next week a show produced by Smokey Smith Enterprises featuring Porter Wagoner and the Wagon Masters with a young lady who had some promise, Miss Dolly Parton. Those were the days.

Hi,
My Bucket list (Jerry Seinfeld recommends swapping an F for the B) revolves around trout fishing. Alaska, NZ, Patagonia. I have been returning to YS for years and backpacking 8 miles in to the same spot on Slough Creek. Hard to tire of perfection...

My brother was A big fan too. Once we were at the baseball park when they had on open air program I was about 13. I went to the restroom before the next match started. Getting ready to wrestle and standing outside the restroom door was BoBo Brazil talking to Haystack Calhoun. Two huge men the likes of which I had never seen. One of my cousins was pretty big at 6’5” and 375 lbs. Of course his work shirts had his work name on them “Tiny”. One of the nicest people you could ever hope to meet. He liked wrasslin too.

I first fished slough creek in 1964 when I was 8, been back many times. Another gem in Yellowstone is Shoshone Lake hike or canoe in. Oh the memories of that place. Another epic trip is Yellowstone in winter. Rented a snowmobile, rode into park and spent 3 nights at the old faithful snow lodge. Toured the park all three days. Watched old faithful with 5 other people.
Did New Zealand for a retirement trip when I retired in 2016, rented a camper van and toured south island for a month. Beautiful country. Bucket list part was a day heliskiing in Glenorchy ( where lord of the rings was filmed ). Then three days in Tahiti.

On the to do list

Alaska
South on Mexico 1 down the Baja, ferry across the sea of Cortez to the mainland then north.
Devil's tower and the Custer battlefield.
Newfoundland, Labrador, Nova Scotia ( I love seafood ).
Across the southern States. ( I love seafood ).
Did the pacific coast on the trip home from Chilliwack after pickup. ( I love seafood ).

Hears to many more epic trips soon!

Mothers Day

Had a good Mother’s Day. My son stopped by with their daughter Cody Jane and we walked the yard looking at the trees in bloom and about everything else for about a half an hour. It was cold and windy but that 18 month old grand daughter smiled the whole time. Then a few hours later my daughter, son in law, and two grandsons 12 and just 3 came up. The 12 year old made his third batch of bagels from scratch in the past week for his grandma and fresh strawberry cream cheese spread. To keep the 3 year old away, for a laugh I put up some flagging. The three year old thought it was neat to have his own half of the garage. Had no problem at all. The 3 year old called me PopPop muskrat as they left. Where did that come from?

I have a number of places I would like to visit, but I never “put” them in the so-called bucket. I always figured maybe sometime I will get there, but if I don’t, so be it. But now I have created a single item bucket list. I just want to be able to travel to any non-specific location without having to socially distance from others, to be able to interact with strangers who may become friends, to visit restaurants and enjoy meals with others, etc. Bucket lists are those activities we hope to engage in before our death. I suspect/ with the rush to open things up and some of the irresponsible behavior that already is or has been observed, the COVID-19 danger is only going to be prolonged for a much greater time than it would be if people were to simply do as the medical experts suggest. I also fear that the death toll is going to skyrocket. At my age and that of many of the members here, should the current crisis go on for years, some of us may not live long enough to safely accomplish any of our bucket dreams.

While everyone is sitting at home dreaming of where they might be try using Google Earth. You can take a virtual trip anywhere in the world and start to do some research before you actually go. Go down to street view where possible and it’s like you are there.
