Adventure Blog posts insightful comments on the latest international news that render us taken-aback in the domain of the adventure facet of life. Adventure-Blog: Outdoor-Adventure News Outdoor-adventure offers unusual challenges: October 17, 2007 by Hayley Frank Thrill-seekers searching for an adventure should look no further. Students can fulfill their daring side Tuesday at Open Night at the Challenge Course. Baylor Outdoor Adventure is hosting the event at Eastland Lakes Challenge Course and encouraging students to come out with a friend, their residence hallmates or even by themselves. "We just want students who are interested in the Challenge Course to be able to participate without having to come with an established group," said outdoor adventure coordinator Kelli McMahan. Most of the time, students come with a class, a sorority or fraternity, and it limits people if they don't have a group to come with, McMahan said. Coordinators of Open Night are planning to have all the usual elements at the event, plus some new additions. "We will have a lot of the high elements set up, along with the zip lines," McMahan said. "We have a new element called the Flying Squirrel, which is a lot of fun." One student is hooked up to a rope and stands directly under the anchor. Everyone else runs from the other end of the rope, resulting in the lone student being lifted into the air. Other elements offered at the course include walking across cables and wires, requiring participants to use balancing skills. "This is a time students can go out and try new things to challenge themselves," said Cody Schrank, an Outdoor Adventure graduate assistant. Outdoor Adventure graduate assistant Tori Watson said the event as a great way to introduce people to the course. "I think a lot of people aren't familiar with the course, or they have only been with a group and only done a couple things," Watson said. "It's a good time for people to come out and see what it is, first of all, and then have the chance to do even more than they've done in the past." The event will end with a night zip line ride across Eastland Lakes. "I hope students will take advantage of this opportunity to come out and have some fun," McMahan said. The event takes place from 4:30 to 9 p.m. and costs $15 per person. Pizza will also be served to all participants. Pre-registration deadline is Friday. To register, students can contact McMahan at 710-7615. Adventure Blog Comment: Outdoor adventure is but one way of inviting the challenges and accepting them whole-hogged. Can we do the same with all the other things in the rest of the domains of life? If we could, we should and we would enjoy every moment of our life to its fullest. Life turns into an adventurous game then - an adventure blog being written every other day with the keyboard of action on the screen of time! But it's not easy to live every moment in the suspense of uncertainty that is the gist of what adventure essentially is. When adventure is, no safety is there; but life is full of all passion spread over every single moment of it. Of course, outdoor adventure can initiate a few of us into living such a lively lifestyle! Wanna have some bidding fun with 'Outdoor Adventure' on ebay auction? You might grab a bargain or two!
