I’d love to hear from you, leave a comment on this post for your 2010 adenture goals.

My New Year’s resolution for 2010 is to give in at least twice to the backpacking instinct.
Too often I and others feel the call, the instinct, the lure of embarking on an epic trip – whether it’s a rim-to-rim backpack of the Grand Canyon or a week in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. But we fail ourselves by giving into the rational reasons for why not to go, be it family commitments or a job or the physical demands or the cost.
This year, I’m pledging to heed the call twice and do at least two “epic” trips; to ignore all the reasons why I shouldn’t go and give in to the instinct.
