Default I'm looking for something new and exciting to do around here

I'm looking for something new and exciting to do around here. As an example, we went on a crab boat last year. My girl and i were basically the crew. We snagged the traps,hauled them aboard,harvested the crabs ,baited the traps and re-set them.
After we had a crab boil and took home a pile of crabs. It was different. Anyone have an odd or different type of adventure?

Go to Cassadaga for a séance, kayak from Weeki Wachee Springs State Park, zip line at The Canyons in Ocala, or let your car go backwards uphill with car in neutral at Spook Hill in Lake Wales.

Run naked through the square ( pick any) at happy hour. Get arrested and give us a report on jail conditions.

You have to think creatively.

I agree with graciegirl and streaking would probably bring a lot of memories to some of us here. p.s. Let everyone know when...
