I recently celebrated my birthday by doing a solo float trip on a 10 or so mile stretch of the Blackfoot River in Montana.  I will tell you up front - this is no extreme adventure...  It was simply a personal victory, having never done any solo river canoeing.  And not owning a whitewater canoe, I didn't want to take on the more technical part of the river, although I did paddle through one class II rapid gracefully.
 

I am excited to see what I can find on this website.  I am 39, have had type1 for 10 years, and I LOVE doing stuff in the outdoors.  In the past year, I did two 7 day backpacking trips.  One to the Canyonlands Maze District in Utah, and one in the Wind River Mountains of Wyoming (over 10,000 feet the whole time).  I am interested in finding out how other people deal with doing these kinds of things (as well as mountaineering, canoeing, hunting, cycling, xc skiing, snowshoeing, etc.).  I wear an Animas pump and I live in Montana.
