Outside Magazine's 'Life List 2010'

Outside Magazine is my favorite magazine, and the September issue contained a cool feature story/list that I want to pass on to you tonight.

It’s called “Life List 2010: You’re Gonna Need A Bigger Bucket.”

The intro to the list reads as follows: Presenting 51 dream trips, daring quests, essential skills and exalted states of body and mind. Because you really can do it all.
