What Did You Do Last Weekend?

October 17, 2014

Your Pinterest and Tumblr accounts might be packed with photos of Icelandic volcanoes, sunsets in the Philippines, and South American beaches -- a stockpile of (major) dream expeditions -- but why not try looking in your own backyard for adventure?

That's exactly what Sarah Uhl, writer of Last Weekend, does. “My favorite adventures are full of ordinary things,” she says, “The things that have been done a hundred times already by people in blindfolds, carrying a baby, and chasing after their three-legged dog. . . I think some of the juiciest parts of life are just beneath our nose. They’re in our backyard.”

This weekend, we challenge you to venture into the great known of your backyard, your city, or your nearest park. Be sure to tell us what you find.
