What's on your American Bucket List?
 

Finally ticked another one of my list, at the missus family reunion, shot lots of big guns...started with a weedy .22, .30, .304, .306, .308, .32 and ended up with 12 gauge double barrel and pump action shotguns.

Quite fun, but I'm shit at skeet shooting, though finally hit some moving targets with a rifle...shells are cheap, except the .32, which were $1.75 a shell, which seemed expensive.

Other bucket list things ticked off my list include:

Going to a drive in movie theatre

Seeing a moose in the wild

Eat a lobster fresh from a trap at the beach

Drive a massive pickup truck

See a sunrise from Cadillac Mountain, highest, eastern point in the US

Some other things that are still on the list include:

Riding the CAT to N.S, but that's not going to happen anymore as they've sold that to China

Drive a classic 60's or early 70's muscle car...a modern Dodge Charger is fun but a little soulless

Visit more states, so far only seen pretty much New England, with ME, MA, NH, VT, CT, NJ, NY, RI and PA. Be a great road trip to see the rest

Hike the Appalachian Trail

So what about you lot? What's on your list and what have you crossed off?

To find a shop that sells crumpets.

Trader Joes.

No they don't - at least not for the Scottish definition of "crumpets" ...

Wholefoods and Wegmans also have them as well.

Re: What's on your American Bucket List?
 

See Monument Valley, and some of the NP's in Utah. Go to a Bluegrass Music show or festival. Ride the old wooden roller coaster at Cedar Point before either it or me gets too creaky. Stay on Sanibel Island, FL for a few days.

Already been to Yellowstone and Grand Teton NP's, but would love to go again.

With all due respect, TJ's crumpets are 12 kinds of wrong.

Don't know what's in there, but taste nasty and the texture is off.

Re: What's on your American Bucket List?
 

I'll find the recipe and post it. I've seen a couple of recipes recently that are wrong. The real ones have both yeast and soda to make all those butter caves.

Re: What's on your American Bucket List?
 

That would be good. I might even try to make those.

TJ's ones are mealy. Not good. And they taste wrong.

If you ever find yourself in Seattle; http://www.yelp.com/biz/the-crumpet-shop-seattle. Highly recommended.

Re: What's on your American Bucket List?
