The Buried Life Boys visit Ketchum



So, Shanti, who knows everybody it seems, helps manage a group of four fine young Canadian lads named Dave, Ben, Duncan, and Jonny, who have a list of 100 things to do before they die; they call themselves "The Buried Life" - an antithesis to all the dreams that seem to get buried along the way. Kind of the opposite of "Jackass".



And what would a group of guys trying to conquer the world be without their huge purple bus to take them from place to place in pursuit of accoumplishing each task?, (along with a film crew entourage of course for their tv show) 


Among the 100 things to do, was to catch something and eat it. So we accompanied them on their fishing lesson and hung out with the film crew. This was Dave's task in particular, and as a practical joke, the other three guys rigged Dave's hook so it was impossible to catch anything. They didn't spill the beans until after everyone else had caught one, and although Dave was pretty frustrated, it was great entertainment for the rest of us. 


Kathy (a fellow paraglider!! yeahy) listens in on the joke

My next venture with the boys was to go along with them as they practiced on a mechanical bull in preparation for Dave's other wish, to ride a real bull! I gave it a whirl, but after that episode, I think I'll leave the mechanical bulls to the next lifetime. ug.
