THE EXTREME ADVENTURE ZONE

Outdoor adventure has reached a new height for me as an outdoorsman - and I’m sure to those also who joined. And to them who accepted the challenge of a mighty river, congratulations! This is our ultimate adventure yet and maybe yours too. Let our photos speak for themselves – for they speak thousand of words (see gallery section). For video see http://theoutdoorsguy.multiply.com/video/item/6

With the success of the last three very exhilarating "Adventure for the Immortals”, part 4 will be open on November 28-30, 2009. To those who did not make it, now's another opportunity, and maybe the last, for you to experience the same, or maybe better, of what we had.

You don’t have to go far down south or up north to try body tubing. It’s right here in our backyard. We have it already explored, experienced, and enthralled by it. See http://ganamarc.multiply.com/journal/item/21/SIERRA_MADRE_ADVENTURE_EXPERIENCE. More than 12kms of river tubing – with countless rapids to enjoy, rappelling, and spelunking are just some of the invaluable experiences worth engaging in. This 3-day-requirement outing is a very seasonal adventure so grab the opportunity. Unlike the usual climbs, this one can’t be done any time of the year. Guaranteed adrenaline-pumping trip. Register ASAP, slots are limited and are already on the countdown and will be filled-in in no time.. Forget about the saying, "Good things happen to those who wait". Act now or forever hold your peace.
