Watkins Glen State Park is the most visited state park in New York if you exclude Niagara Falls. We met a lot of happy trekkers who let curiosity get the better of themselves which usually is because of Ahab. Reflecting on it now, I think the location is really what inspired it!
Let’s see … mountaintop cloud forests, endless shorelines, refreshing waterfalls, being dwarfed by volcanos, new friends that crossed our path, and all the other many wonders we experience on our 1050km adventure; Costa Rica was everything we expected and more! Pura Vida now and forever!
I remember telling Ahab’s origin story in my dorm room to the first person who ever asked, before we had stories of our own to share. I remember the last person I told this story to, who heard about the fifteen years since. I also remember every single story in between. I remember the day we added the goal to speak at a TEDx to Ahab’s List, and how out of reach it felt at the time. Cheers to the people of Akron for supporting that our idea is worth spreading. I will always remember the day we crossed this goal off!
There is no question why people say this is one of the top white water rivers in the world! Patagonia Elements is a rafting company that jibes with Ahab’s spirit of awesome adventure, taking him on his maiden Futaleufu voyage in style.
Can you believe it took us over 7 years to check this one off Captain Ahab’s List! Completely worth the wait! Maybe we will be promoted from interns next year so we don’t have to share a gun!
Blarney Castle/Stone, Giant’s Causeway, Irish Pubs, Cliffs of Mohar, Old Bushmills and the PROJECT that made it all happen!
