I'd really like to hear the story behind #3! I've been to Big Sur, while hitch-hiking, but missed the hippie encampment.

I thought of a few more to add to my list, including touching a live tiger (when Ken Fletch got us a behind the scenes visit to the zoo.)

Closest I can come is to #7: I've seen a cougar, wild burros, desert tortoise, and iguana, none of which are always easy to find. Though I wouldn't be surprised if I've done #10 and don't remember it . . .

If #4 had been the other way around, it would have been more of a sure thing that no one has done it.

You're correct - I haven't done any of those. I would really like to know more about 1, 3, 4, 5, 7 and 9, though!
