What is the craziest thing you have ever done?
I went snowshoeing in the Teton's with my best friend from College right after a huge snowstorm. The trail was covered and we somehow took a wrong turn. We got worried when it started to get dark, but thankfully we eventually found the correct trail again. What we thought was going to be a fun morning trip turned into an eight-hour trek through the wilderness!
