We arrived in Sun Valley on a Wednesday night with no idea what to expect. The weather forecast was for snow, which would not have been good news for the bus, but luck was on our side and the snow never manifested. Instead we had sun and blue sky for the next few days. After spending weeks in cities, the country was a welcomed scene.

Ketchum, ID, the town just below Sun Valley ski area has one main street, 4 stop lights and about 4,000 very friendly people. From the moment we arrived in town it seemed like people opened their doors to us, giving us places to stay, taking us out on the town, and helping us cross things off on our list.

In one week we hope to accomplish 4 things on our list
#7 Learn to Fly
# 8 Ride a Bull
# 60 Go paragliding (we went paragliding)
#44 Catch something and eat it

We even came up with a new one run with the sheep! Don’t ask. We’ll be filling you in on that one shortly.

Right now we are facing some of our biggest challenges so far though. We’re trying to go a little Hollywood. We want to #55 Kiss Rachel McAdams, #59 Get Ben a date with Megan Fox, #79 Dance with Ellen Degeneres, #46 Do a sketch with Will Ferrell. Any suggestions on how to get these ones going would be greatly appreciated.

Right before Halloween we’ll be hitting up Seattle where we plan on meeting up with a group of kids with cancer and taking them on a shopping spree of a lifetime in a toy store, then joining a nationwide war protest in Judkins Park (#62 join a protest). Come find us there on October 27. It’s almost Halloween so we might even be rocking costumes! Any thoughts on what we should be? Email us at: Jonnie@theburiedlife.com
