    Default I need your votes for an adventure of a life-time

    I am one of five finalist of a grant through Hobkey Adventure Grants. This adventure would allow me to canoe up the Amazon River and to bring awareness through journaling about the disappearance of the rain forest and culture through Westernization. Please go here....http://www.hobkey.com/grant/ and scroll down to "Which canoeing adventure do you like the most?" click on The Amazon Adventure and hit submit. I can only win if I get the most votes. I have been away and did not get the email until this morning letting me know I am a finalist so I am behind in votes and currently in 4th place so, vote early and often, PLEASE!

    I know it isn't hike specific and my description is week as I did not know that the brief story sent in was going to be the posted story but, if you have any questions before voting, I will try to answer them.

    Thank you guys. I received the email much later than all the other finalist because I was out of town and did not get it until this morning. Since then I have been pushing for votes and moved from 4th to 2nd. Thanks again

    Good luck! The deforestation of the jungle is a big deal in my eyes and needs more awareness. Wishing you luck!!!

    swisscross, most likely not until next year. My wife and sister take turns and this year her sister came here. By the way, moved way into first place, thanks everyone. Only 29 more days to keep up the momentum. Please tell your friends to help out.
