Where Adventures Are Born

November 17, 2017 By Jeff H 2 Comments

2018 adventure goals

Where are adventures born? They begin with inspiration. The adventure takes a giant leap forward when you commit it to paper and write down that adventure goal.

At our 2017 Six-Pack of Peaks Finisher’s Party last month, we asked challengers to share their adventure goals for 2018 on an index card and clip it to our “prayer flag” of adventure goals.
