Hey, Wild Ideas listeners, this year marks the 45th anniversary of RIEI Co-op's half-dome tent,

and we want to hear your most memorable adventures with it. Whether you've had your tent for years

or just a few months, we know you've got a great story to share. Personally, one of my favorite

memories with my half-dome tent is when I took my niece

camping in my half dome when she was nine. We went to the Laguna Mountains, made s'mores,

looked at stars, and stayed up telling stories. She said it was her favorite place to sleep,

and she's been begging me to take her back ever since. Send us your stories, and who knows,

you might be featured in Arii's Uncommon Path Celebration.

Head to the link in the show notes to share your story today.

When Ted Steinberg was in college, he started competing in triathlons and ultra-marathons.

This was the start of a lifelong relationship with endurance sports.

Tess struggled with depression, and he found that spending hours training out in nature was good for his mental health.
