After re-reading your initial post, I wanted to add something besides where I'd like to go before I go code blue stat.

In my experience, no matter what you're going through in life, many others have been through the same and others are going through it right now at the same time you are. So, you're not alone in your misery. If you think you have it bad, just stop by your neighbors place for a few minutes. You'll soon realize they have it worst than you! My friends and family and I speak about issues in our lives and I have to bring this up to them, not to be tough w/ them but to provide hope that it will be OK, it will be better, others have been where you are now and have come out of that place. Through many of the issues I've had in my lifetime this has helped me stay positive and keep my issues or problems in perspective. Compared to my neighbors and other people in my area, I've got it made. What one man or woman can do another can also do. Stay motivated and keep your spirits high. Ooh Rah!

The food plot under my archery stand.

Maybe Alaska again, my old computer and sd card crashed so I can't share the tundra or the Alagnak river.

I'm glad you made it out of the dark. It's a scary place only you can fathom. Happy to have you back. 👍

I would love to spend a long time crawling through Ireland.

I am glad things are looking up for you and I appreciate the generosity of this forum.
 
Thanks, Kris, for this giveaway. Glad you're emerging into the light!

There are so many places and things I'd like to re-visit before dying, but I'll trade those opportunities for this.

Falling water has been one of my favorite designs since probably middle school. I have been looking at the Lego architecture sets that they have for it.
 
Oh boy; There's so much to see, its a small world and bloody huge at the same time. I'm only 20 but another ~60-80 years isn't gonna be nearly enough; I suppose if I had to pick one place I'd go to Ecuador again. Its where I was born but I've never been to see it

I have been lucky enough to travel all over the world thanks to my father being in the Navy (Hawaii, Japan, Sicily, Spain, Guam, the azores, etc.). Now, one place I dream about visiting is Flathead Lake. It is an amazing sight from what I am told. The closest I have been it to Lake Tahoe up in California. I believe this is even more beautiful.

Hello, I'll shut this in 24hrs, figure out over the weekend how the hell I'm going to judge it, then post out the gift next week,

Cheers Kris,.
 
i'm in but may not be eligible for prizes (living in the Philippines.) i missed seeing this the last time i went. michelanglelo is in my mind the greatest genius who ever lived. it's easy to understand why his contemporaries thought he had divine/supernatural attributes.

Keep looking up bud.

There's so many places I want to go to it's hard to choose just one..
At this point my entry would have to be The Troll's Tongue in early spring.

Sorry to hear you've been going through some dark times Kris, and it's good to hear that you've passed through them :)

I've been lucky enough to travel to some beautiful places in my life, which have stayed with me. Forty years ago, my friends considered me very well-travelled, but in truth I've seen almost nothing of the world, my kids have travelled further afield than I ever have. I know there are countless sights that I will never see, but that worries me not a bit anymore, I find plenty of beauty close at hand, almost everywhere I go. Whereas, even until a few years ago, I was constantly travelling abroad, I find less and less reason to these days. Maybe it's just a phase I'm passing through, and perhaps the old wanderlust will kick in again once I retire. Before I shuffle off my mortal coil though, the thing I'd most like to see is my family, happy and together. Here are my 3 daughters, my grandaughter, and my niece :)
