Cointest: What's on your bucket list?

[+LadeBear68]

This is a cointest for a Tsunrisebey Dragonfly Talisman bucket list geocoin. If you saw the movie, Bucket list, you know what it is. For those who don't, the bucket list is a list of things you want to do before you die. The cointest is to list five things on your bucket list. The winner will be chosen by random on Sunday, January 4 at 11:59 p.m.

1) Take a trip on my motorcycle through all the US states except maybe Hawaii.

 

2) Climb Mt Wilson again. I made it once with Tod and a friend, would like to get there again.

 

3) Bike ride across the USA from MI to CA...this is a pedal bike trip.

 

4) Completely walk the AT.

 

5) Take a 90 day cruise. I've been on many crusies, one was a 14 day Hawaiian cruise, but none were long enough to suit me. I know they have these loger crusies, I would love to take one!

[+LadyBee4T]

My Bucket list:

 

--White Water Raft on the Colorado

--Visit the UK and Europe

--Ride a bobsled or luge like they have in the Olympics

--Downhill ski in Switzerland

--Visit all 50 states. I think I have 11 to go.

[+cache_in_hand]

Find a cache in every state

 

Find a waypoint 15 coin so I can rub Mustang Joni's nose in it LOL (Actually I would probably give it to her)

 

Make a caching run across Europe

 

Hit the lottery so I could buy my dream cache mobile (A helicopter)

 

Get my picture on the cover of Rolling Stone (Gonna buy 5 copies for my mother)

[+Tschakko]

My bucket list:

 

- Visit Australia

- Take a walk on the Autobahn

- Drive to Spain and then to Africa

- Eat a HotDog at Ikea

- See all my friends and family together

[+lunamoth47]

My five things to do before I die:

1. hand-sew a quilt for each of my children

2. restore an old house

3. visit every national park

4. learn to play guitar

5. finish researching my family tree

[+darnjoeSNARG]

1. Dance with my daughter at her wedding (she's 10).

2. Go to Normandy and do a tour of Europe (I'm a WWII buff)

3. Get beat by my kids at golf.

4. Get outfished by my son (or daughter ).

5. Buy a fast car once the kids are out of school.

[+Jackalgirl]

I haven't seen the movie, but understand the concept, and I think it's an interesting idea. If I could be said to have a bucket list, it would include:

 

o Raise a good person (contributes to society, has a constructive moral code, etc)

o Fund an endowment that provides scholarships for sequential artists (cartoonists/comic book artists)

o Fund an endowment that provides scholarships for persons researching sustainable practices

o See the curvature of the Earth with my own eyes

o Write a novel

 

Of course, I am also interested in doing sequential art, participating in sustainable practices (e.g., putting solar panels up on my house's roof, reusing rainwater, etc), and so forth but beyond the two things I want to do for myself, what I really want to do is something that persists beyond me. Does it count if you want to do something that will still be going on after you kick the bucket? : )

 

Thanks for the cointest!

[+tsunrisebey]

I'm not actually entering the contest because I already have the coin However I just wanted to post my Bucket List idea for 2009. I have a number of things on my list as a matter of fact I have a small corkboard at home with pictures, notes, etc. for myself that encompasses many things on my Bucket List I take them down as I accomplish them and I add new ones as I go along.

 

I really enjoyed the movie much like I enjoyed reading 'The Last Lecture', these usually inspire me to push myself, think out of the box, and move outside my comfort zone.

but didn't make it above the Arctic Circle. I've also been to the southernmost point in the US,

so that's another reason why I'd like to go to the northernmost point).

 

2. Take a very long vacation all around the country in a motorhome.

 

3. Find a geocache in every state. (Which would also mean taking a cruise to Hawaii because

[+kini_ont]

5) To leave this world a better place when I’m gone

[+Wandering Vikings]

Holmbiorn has had a list written down since before I met him, but mine is in my head and changes based on the day... So here is todays version of my bucket list.

 

I did write down a list, long ago after reading "The 100 things to do before you die" My brother and I both wrote down our own 100 things. Over the years some things have been crossed off, other things have been added. My current top 5 would be....

 

1 - To have children and see them grow up well.

 

2 - To take our future kids to Disneyland and/or DisneyWorld

 

3 - Geocache around the World

 

4 - Build our Dream Home on a nice plot of land (preferably near the ocean)

 

5 - Write a Book (Hey I just realized, I have done this one. I wrote a childrens book for Sofi)

 

Ok... New # 5

 

Have a successful business, be financialy independant and have enough income that my families needs and wants will always be taken care of without stressing over money.

 

Sofi already entered the cointest, so consider mine as part of her entry.

Thanks for the Cointest!

[+opalsns]

I want to go to a Patriot's Game.

I want to go to Nascar at New Hampshire.

Opalsns

[+PengoFamily]

hmmmm hard to decide what to put on my bucket list. Never really gave it a lot of thought until now...

 

1) Alaskan cruise

2) visit New Zealand

3) get a motor home and just drive around Canada and the US

4) grow old with my hubby and watch Beky grow up...you'll find us in rocking chairs holding hands playing with grandkids and tell them lots of crazy stories about geocoins. LOL

5) appreciate each day

[+kini_ont]

You know I see another thread starting after this one "All the things I've done that are on someones bucket list"

I won't start but reading these threads has gotten me thinking what a luckey person I am having done some of them.

Except for one: Fluttershy - May Your Wishes come True! GB

[+dardevle]

1) to have a nice digital camera to call my own

 

2) Have my arm covered in a sleeve of tattos

 

3) Spend one weekend in the woods alone hunting squirrel

 

4) Go on a weekend motorcylce ride

 

5) To live on at least 40acres of land (wooded)

 

Assuming that I will see my daughters grow up and have kids they are not on the list.

Otherwise my list is not that extravagent! But that is why it is "list".
