A List of Cool Outdoor Stuff I’ve Done with My Pump

• Body surfing at La Jolla, CA
• Hiking in the Grand Canyon
• Water skiing at Lake Powell
• Snow shoeing near Brighton Ski Resort, Utah
• Hang gliding at Colorado National Monument
• Horseback riding in the Wasatch National Forrest
• Camping at Trial Lake in the Uintah Mountains
