Douglas Legg was eight years old on a visit to the family-owned compound, the Santanoni Estate. He had followed his uncle on a hike around the property, but because he was wearing shorts, he was sent back to the camp to put on long pants because of the biting insects. It was only a half-mile away, and the house could even be seen through the trees where he and his uncle stood. But what happened on that short walk back remains a mystery.

The group of ten young men and three adults slowly made their way up the winding trail leading to a peak of 11,440 feet. But this was not an ordinary group of hikers out on a winter backpacking trip. These were convicted felons taking part in a unique opportunity to work out their sentences in a wilderness adventure program. Maybe one would think there would be a daring exploit of escape, but in this case, it is quite the opposite.

There are many tales of survival on the high seas. But when you take a luxury cruise, the furthest from your mind are thoughts regarding survival. Cruise lines cater to your every whim, from dining choices, entertainment and creature comforts.
Take, for example, Elizabeth Weed Shutes. She was traveling first class on a magnificent ocean liner, one of the finest and most opulent ships ever built. While Elizabeth was not one to afford such luxurious travel and accommodations, she was employed as a governess to the sixteen-year-old daughter of a wealthy businessman. Elizabeth accompanied the businessman's wife, Edith Graham, and her daughter Margaret on a European vacation.

The Hawaiian Islands. If you haven't been yet, perhaps lifting off in a helicopter for an aerial view of a luminescent lava stream or views of incredible rushing waterfalls has been on your bucket list. Dreams of escaping to a warm sandy beach, drink in hand, as the sounds of waves crashing and vitamin D-soaked laughter delighting ears have enticed millions upon millions of tourists every year. It is a destination noted for its hospitality in warmth and relaxation.
Though hospitable to your dream vacation, these islands of volcanic origin are home to the Hawaiian hot spot - at present boiling underneath the Big Island of Hawaii. Five different major volcanoes decorate the Big Island with their torrid presence: Kilauea (kill lawe way yuh), Mauna Loa, Mauna Kea (kay-ah) , Hualalai (hoo-la-la-aye), and Kohala (koe-hal-uh.) The largest active volcano on Earth is Mauna Loa. But at present, the most productive volcano on Earth in terms of lava flow production is Kilauea.

Intense heat, relentless exposure, treacherous and dry terrain. The Sahara Desert stands as the largest hot desert in the world. This vast waterless ocean of baked and circulated sand is a force of nature that demands fierce respect from any form of life crossing within its borders. The Sahara is both forbidding and alluring; its beauty is uncluttered yet mesmerizing. The desert hosts the Sahara Marathon, an ultramarathon in southern Morocco covering 156 miles of desert in six days. What could go wrong?
