With a bit of random luck, you could knock out the northern lights and a canoe trip in the boundary waters together. In fact, the northern lights would be spectacular from the boundary waters with the total absence of lights.

Good point. I watch several guys on Youtube that canoe in Canada and they have all posted video of the northern lights that they took while camping.

I don’t know Rick, that list has “eaten by a bear” written all over it.
knock off a few 5-10 day hikes. I have Northern Italy and Wadi Rum in Jordan in mind. I’ve always been fascinated by the Camino de Santiago too, though that is a much more worn path.
Complete a trail ultra. Maybe a 100k.
Complete IMC in Penticton. This was the race that originally drew me to triathlon at the age of 17. I was just in awe of people who could do that race, in that climate. I spent over a decade of my life enjoying triathlon, but by the time I got to the longer distances that race was no more. Despite the fact that I have largely done what I wanted to do in triathlon, I would still like to do that race, if for no other reason than to realize the dream I had when I was still in high school.
Some of my best memories have been from solo traveling adventures. There are still places I would love to go and experience that I probably wouldn’t want to bring the family. They want to vacation, I like to explore.
Skiing in the alps.
5a) Heli skiing anywhere.
I’m not sure what yet, but I want to do memorable, awesome things with my kids. They’re still very young but I really look forward to the days when they are either teenagers or young adults and we can do cool, challenging shit together. Like maybe one of those multi day hikes, or ski trip to the Alps, or even IMC. Something thrilling and adventurous. Hopefully I’m still game for that in my 50’s.

Liveaboard sailing around the Caribbean. Unfortunately, that is not on my wife’s bucket list, but I’m working on it.
Have you seen this video of Wadi Rum? Harmen Hoek does silent hiking videos and is an excellent videographer. He captures some beautiful video and photos.
You haven’t really visited a state until you drop a deuce there.
Now THAT’s a bucket list: Shit in all 50 states; piss in all 5 Oceans PLUS the 5 Great Lakes
YMMV
At current count I have: 14 States, 4 Commonwealths , The Republic of California, and The District of Columbia, as well as USVI; Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean; Lake Erie, Lake Ontario
.
Now that I’m in my 60s I pretty much hit all my athletic-related bucket list items- IMC (penticton), Alcatraz tri, long distance bikes tours in Europe, multiple boston/nyc marathons, some ultras etc. I’ve been fortunate to travel a quite a bit to Europe and throughout the US, so most of my travel jones have been satisfied. I would like to go back to Thailand for an extended bike tour like Bangkok to Phuket. Right now my bucket list items are pretty tame…like keep becoming fluent-ish in spanish, get more flexible with yoga, and master vegetarian cooking.
Run the Marine Corps Marathon- I have been trying for 6 years now and have been foiled again and again.
Hike the John Muir Trail- planning to do it next summer.
See the northern lights - has been a goal since I was 10.
Hike in the Alps
Athens was mentioned by someone else. Never been, but I have a four and a half hour layover in the airport next month. Trying to figure out how to manage a quick trip to Parthenon. Will be tight.
