[–] TIEPilot@lemmy.world 1 point 2 hours ago (1 child) Check out "Outward Bound" they have adventures like this for all ages and all over the world. You won't regret it! Cape Coral, I think I've been there when I was a young kid. Of course you never appreciate that until you get older, youth is wasted on the young... I was planning a road trip, listening to Stuart, seeing a burrow owl while sucking down a cold Coors light (barf) might be my old man trifecta! /s But seriously look into Outward Bound, they have 3 day courses out to 6 months. I did a 30 day in Florida. We had Thanksgiving in the woods :) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] anon6789@lemmy.world [S] 2 points 1 hour ago (1 child) Oooo....dogsledding adventure! 😄 There's some cool looking stuff there! I will have to keep this in mind. Thanks! Most online talk I see about Cape Coral is somewhere in between meh and suburban dystopia, so it doesn't sound like it has much to offer other than the owls. This is why I didnt drag my wife the 3 hours there from Tampa where we were staying. We stuck to the Tampa ZooQuarium instead. They had some owls, no burrowing though. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] TIEPilot@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago (1 child) And Tampa is a nice area, I lived in Sarasota for a bit. I wouldn't waste 6 hours unless on a charter boat fishing! And they have so many adventures, they used to have was a urban camping adventure. I doubt they still have it how insane the drugs have gotten. I did a hybrid hiking and canoeing. I'll have to dig out my journal I know the mileage was insane but we were all about 15-17 years old. I think I was the oldest. So no pain in the mornings, not like now lol If I did it again, and I will I would do the desert or snowshoe. Something completely foreign to me. Dog sledding does sound pretty amazing too :) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] anon6789@lemmy.world [S] 1 point 1 hour ago We had a really great time. We rented a convertible and drove all around in Tampa, over to everywhere between Tarpons Springs and Fort DeSoto, and took a day trip up north a bit to Panasoffkee to do the gator fan boat tour. We did take a half day fishing trip on the Gulf, but we got there during a rare cold spell, which was still nice to us coming from PA, but we caught 5 tiny fish between the 2 of us. I'm guessing urban camping is technically illegal in a lot of places now as an anti-homeless measure. As sad as it is, learning safe urban camping skills might not be a bad thing to teach younger people as wealth inequality continues to increase and the job market gets weirder and home values keep reaching unattainable heights... 😐 I'm with you on doing something totally out there. I just took a private sailing lesson for the first time last week and that was mindblowing. Once I got shown the basics, I was shocked how instinctive and natural it felt. I thought it would be somewhat physically demanding and tricky to keep the wind, but it was so peaceful and there was so much feedback from the boat it was like it was telling me what I had to do. One of my favorite recent experiences. permalink fedilink source parent
