Well, if I had not mentioned it already, I enjoy geocaching. I brought my GPS unit with me on vacation, but have not had a chance to use it at all. Maybe I will get a chance today or tomorrow.

well, if my username doesn't say it all, my hobbies include anything that is outdoors: cycling, rock climbing, kayaking, swimming, ect... and i also really like computers, in that realm i like to do web design, getting into coding(c#,VB), and networking. I guess it's kinda weird that i like technology so much when i love the outdoors... but if i have to make a choice, it will definitely be outdoors!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh ya, i forgot my newest hobby: AVIATION, i am now working on my private pilot license

Heh heh heh, I have already mentioned it but I love to run, and every year at our camporee we have a race. Last year it was 2.9 miles long or something like that. Well I started off at a good pace and was speeding right along and got to a checkpoint where they told me I was in third place. I knew the only two people ahead of me were TLT's and I wasn't in their category. (Now I will be) Well I crossed the line third over all, but it seems that they never wrote my number down. So all in all I never got a medal.

But just yesterday, during investiture, without me knowing, they had made and labled a medal for me. None of this was in the schedule, so I never knew anything about it. Then they told this whole story and gave me a medal just like the other ones from almost a year ago. "First Place Teen Boys" That is my first first place medal for anything that wasn't after school. In two weeks I get to do that race again and maybe I can snag another medal!!

I guess you could these things hobbies, they sure keep me busy!
I'm really into outdoor gear, a week ago I was working for an outfitter! Talk about some awesome deals! But I was spending most of my paychecks on gear! Anyway, my hobbies include, backpacking, which I need gear for! Downhill skiing, bouldering, hiking in challenging terrain, and horseback riding. But I won't be doing that for a while! (for more info, see my website) I am a 1st. Responder w/ the VFD, so that could be called a hobby I guess. Being on call for 911 calls and search and rescue missions can be really intense! Everytime the pager goes off, or the phone rings..... it could be a mission/call! Civil Air Patrol is a hobby too, that's where we do Search and Rescue. And posting on here counts too I guess!

So, tell me more about your interest in aviation. Sounds like you're pretty serious about it, taking lessons and all!

Well... i'm not patches, but i am a private pilot in progress myself and have been taking lessons since January; but i have had to slow down until summer until i have more money. If you haven't ever been up in a small plane before, you should definitely do it!!! it is ssssoooo much fun !!! If you have, then you know what i am talking about. if you are wanting to know more about what it takes, then i can tell you that it costs anywhere from $5,500-$7,000. Usually it ends up costing most people about $6,000. you have to do a minimum of 40 hrs of flight training, although it usually takes most 50+hrs. you also have to pass a written knowledge test. sorry if this is more of an answer than you were looking for, but hopefully somebody will have a use for it! flying is awesome!!!

Well, actually I have not got the chance to go in a small plane, I've only flown once in a jet! But my lucky sister is a cadet in Civil Air Patrol.....and she has been up twice in a small plane! She even got to fly it for an hour her second time up! Not fair! But I'm going to try and get up there one of these days! I have a friend who is trying to start flying lessons too, he's trying to figure out how long it will take! I don't know if I want to get my license or not, I guess it will depend on my first small plane flight experience!

It really depends on the person and the funds available as to how long it takes! I am going to try to finish mine in a little over a month here this summer. I have also had an interest in the CAP since I was little, and i think that once i have my pilots license that i may join as a pilot. but you definitely need to try the small plane!

I am graduating in 2009 and after that I hope to be a search and rescue pilot. The guy that trains me says he's never seen anybody like me before. He's says I'm so calm and cool about everything, and he says I act like I have fear of nothing.

Rescue is an awesome hobby. I love all the rescue classes I've taken.

I am a firefighter at our local fire department. And that job is SO VERY rewarding... I've also taken some rope rescue oriented classes... and those are a blast



SO.... I'm also interested in caving... Caving is AWESOME. I've spent 58 hours underground.... just this semester.... IT's FUN!!!

Caving is fun!
