If you could runaway and start a new life where would you go?

Hi cocheese,

45th Parallel. Halfway between the north pole and the equator.



Or halfway between the South Pole and the equator. ;)

Here the 45th parallel is just north of Salem, OR. It's out in the country, not real close to any town.

Now for me ( and I am thinking that the OP means outside of the US of A ) would be Paris; only if it wasn't so darned expensive. >:(

One thing about this type of post: It does get us to dreaming. :)

Sure, it looks all innocent in the midnight sun with blue skies and leafy, green trees and big, big wild flowers. But just give it a couple of months and it will soak your Gore Tex jacket all through.

Main reason I'm not moving is work, though.

:(

Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet.

I'm a BIG, TOUGH BIGWAY FORMATION SKYDIVER! What are you?

Australia ... massive amounts of no-man's land


+1.

Though anyone I'd be running from would know that they would only have to keep an eye on the DZ's to eventually find me.:$

I'm thinking of going off some where...no plan...no destination...

Where would you go?



Kootenai Falls - I need to jump off a log again.
I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama

I tend to change my life quite a bit every few years. In fact, I'm due for another big change in the next year or so.
Still trying to figure out where to go next. . . .



Well - you could always come home. That should be challenge enough.:D

The Hawaiian island Kauai. My retreat, and one of the most beautiful places I've ever been to.



Yep.

Paradise can get boring, though, and there's not much skydiving.

The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

I'm sorry you're having a:(>:( day

I try to laugh at the bs around these parts too- but sometimes I'd like to be in a cabin on the side of a mountain in Montana living off the land.....big sky country!

there would be snowboarding in the winter of course:|

Yeah, I guess I did it once too. Quit my job, packed my bags, and moved to the ancestral family summer home in NH. Started working as a packer & rigger at a DZ in Mass. Slept on the packing table over the weekend until I got an apartment.

The gig lasted about 6 months, including the trip to Florida as part of a group, then I went back to Texas again, thoroughly refreshed. Without any built-up bills, too.

And yeah, I also highly recommend it if you can swing it.

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)
