EPISODES:
Geocaching: Chance goes to Whitetail Woods Regional Park in Farmington to meet up with geocaching extraordinaire Bart Flentje, and to experience the park from a different perspective as they bushwhack their way through the woods in search of an expert level geocache. Logrolling: In the late 1800s and early 1900s, log rolling was a way for lumberjacks to strut their stuff and show off their fearless feats of balance and bravery. Today, Chance spends a day on Minneapolis’ Cedar Lake as seven-time log rolling world champion, Abby Delaney, provides him with a few quick pointers on how to enjoy this highly evolved watersport. Mountain Biking: Originally a mining town, now known for its outdoor adventure scene, Chance heads to Crosby to join Gunner Carlson, President of Minnesota Off-Road Cycling (MORC), at Cuyuna County State Recreational Area to "Shred the Red" as they mountain bike their way through the 60-mile trail system. North Shore Photography: Lake Superior is the largest source of fresh water on the continent and is often viewed from afar, for good reason. The Lake is not swimmer-friendly. Even in the middle of July, water temperatures struggle to get out of the body-numbing zone. This won’t stop Chance from taking a dip to get an unbelievable shot of the Split Rock Lighthouse with photographer Christian Dalbec. Rock Climbing: Chance goes to Taylors Falls to meet up with rock climbing guide, Janel Rieger, and put his spider senses to the test as they take on the cliffs of Interstate State Park. Along the way, they discuss Janel's efforts in making the sport more inclusive. Shore Fishing: Birthplace of waterskiing and home to Peppi the Lake Monster, Chance goes to Lake City to wet a line in Lake Pepin with educator and fishing guide, Xao Xiong, as the two fish from shore and hope to be able to have enough luck so they can cook up a Hmong style shore lunch. Snow Kiting: White Bear Lake provides the track and Mother Nature provides the fuel as Chance straps on skies and gives snowkiting a try. Chad Dobson of Dynamik Kiteboarding provides a lesson and, before you know it, he has Chance zipping across one of Minnesota’s frozen winter wonderlands. Urban Farming: Musician, activist and the North Minneapolis director of Youth Farms, Marcus Kar, gives Chance a tour of the community gardens in the neighborhood as they bike their way through the North Side discussing the benefits these gardens provide to the community.
