Yes, many of the trips from the article where great but I felt obligated to create my own list for you to start thinking of your 2010 trip bucket list. This is just a start… wait till 2011.

KEEPING IT REAL WITH YOUR WORKOUT

We all have the same amount of time in the day, but how to do we balance that time? How do we keep it simple to enjoy life? How do we make room for our career, family, friends, and workout? One of these easily slips away if you let it. The workout, it is just to easy to say “I’m taking the day off.” The day turns into a week, and so on. Keeping the schedule simple will help you keep that balance in life and maintain the active body we all need to get out into our adventure.

Excuses are too easy to come by when it comes to keeping that body fit, especially over the winter months. I have too much going on at work. My family has a crazy schedule this week. We all have a full book of these excuses. Maintaining the workout schedule has to be a priority if you are going to jump from season to season enjoy all the outdoor adventures that you love. Jumping from climbing to skiing to mt.biking is not always as easy as we want it to be. Different muscle groups, different motions all of which will slow you down between seasons.

Mt. Biking the Continental Divide Trail

Climbing over 200,000 feet (total of 7 Mt. Everests) through four states and 2,493 mile might just make anyones legs turn to jello. This is the world’s longest mt. biking route, this is the Continental Divide Trail. (CDT)

Beginning along the board of Canada and the US, just north of Eureka, Montana you will begin you journey south to the Mexican boarder. Traveling through Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, and New Mexico. You will bear witness to some of the most beautiful vista’s and landscapes in the solitude of the single track. No motorized vehicles just you and your bike. Naturally with a route that expands this length you will encounter great alpine elevations, ride along the grasslands, through low land deserts, and all within the solitude of the wilderness.

The Advenure Chronicles

WayPoint Namibia:

In May 2009, a group of Climbers and adventures traveled to Namibia to discover a new rock face in the northern part of the country. Climbing wasn’t there only intent though. They were also looking to create a deeper understanding about the extraordinary culture and people of this African nation.

Headed up by Majke Burhardt, writer, climber, and guide, the group spent a little less then a month traveling through the country seeking out the connections between culture and climbing. They climbed and emerged into the culture to return home with some amazing stories and visuals. Their story and journey were documented and unravel in the documentary, WayPoint Namibia.

The Adventure Chronicles hooked up with Majke upon their return and release of WayPoint Namibia. Looking back upon their journey Majke gave us an insight on the adventure, the planning, and the memories that were formed.

The project began several years back when a friend, Jeff Barbee, a Journalist, living in Namibia, had sent Majka some photos of a huge rock located in Northern Namibia. With that image imprinted in her mind she set off on the planning, with highlights on Spitzkoppe, and Brandberg.

“I wanted to go climb and I wanted to interact with the Himba more and I thought ok here’s my theory: as a climber we will be able to do that. Is that true.” Majka Said

Through the planning effort the most difficult part was over coming the what ifs. She knew there was some climbing in Northern Namibia, but not knowing what they were really going to discover on the rock was the struggle. Convincing her partners to join this expedition to check out some potentially bomber rock or even possible sketchy slab rock was key. Bottom line, there was no guarantee what they were going to find; But that is what makes it an adventure we all dream about.

“The first time we got out of the car, they treated us just like any other tourist. Once we spent a few days “getting muddy,” living in the vicinity and climbing, the locals’ attitudes changed.” Majke said
