2007 Things to Do

Here is what I want to do this year.

1. Spend the night wandering around in a few towns I've never stayed in.
Of all the cities with motels in Montana, I've stayed in 90% of them. I want to spend a non-work night wandering around in towns I've never stayed in.

2. Northwest Montana Float Trip
I want to spend a couple of days north of Missoula floating rivers I haven't done before or haven't floated in the last five years. These would be the Clark Fork, North Fork of the Flathead, Kootenai and ???

3. Take a ferry across the Missouri.
There are three. Soon there will be none. I've never ridden any of them.

4. Backpack across the Pintlars.
It's been too long since I've done a backpacking trip. The Pintlars are close, little used and have a couple of hot spring resorts. Maybe a backpack from Elkhorn to Jackson Hot Springs?

5. Eat at all the sushi places in Montana.

6. Sit in a radon health mine.

7. Play in the Big Hole Cow Pasture Open Golf tournament.
It's been awhile since I did so and I want to do it in memory of a friend.

8. Read a book a month.
I spend too much time on the internet.

9. Pick up a marble with chopsticks.

10. There a few ski resorts in Montana that have summer trams/ski lifts to the top of the mountain. I want to hike to the top of each and ride the tram/ski lift down.

11. Eat at every restaurant in the Helena Yellow Pages. In reverse alphabetical order.

12. Use every piece of sports gear I own, in the shortest time possible.
This will be in the last two weeks in May. Here is what I have to use:
dogpack, day pack, kayak, raft, running shoes, volleyball, racquetball, x-country skis, snowshoes, folf frisbee, hackeysack, mountain bike, backpack, tent, croquet set, golf clubs, football, hiking boots, fly rod, spinning rod, snorkel and fins.

13. Visit all the Mint Bars.

Let me know if you want to come along.
