    I would love to hike the entire Appalachian trail someday to experience the scenery and meet new people in an area of the US that I have not been fortunate enough to spend a lot of time in (yet).

    If I could walk anywhere in the world, I would want to walk through all of the United States before venturing out into foreign territory. The grass may always look greener on the other side, but sometimes there's nothing better than appreciating your own back yard.

    If I could walk anywhere in the world, I would walk the perimeter of Yellowstone National Park with my daughter. I went there in 2008 and it was the best experience of my life so I would love to share that with my daughter. We'd have to keep an eye out for bears and other wildlife but that would just be an awesome experience. - Ashley Ward, Mission Slimpossible
