Death Defying Kayaking
Then I did the unthinkable. I deliberately let
go of the tree and jumped into the rushing
river. About thirty yards from shore I came up
for air, but there wasn't any. This defied
logic, since my life jacket kept my head out of
the water. Suddenly I realized that the frigid
water was robbing me of oxygen. I thought to
myself, "I'm going to die!"
Tailspin
I began to get excited, and
I was caught up in the moment, imagining that I
was the Red Baron. All of a sudden I heard
Porter screaming, "To the left. More to the
left!" Too late! In my attempted landing, I
veered too much to the right and crashed into a
cornfield. All of a sudden I heard Porter
screaming.
Dayne Traveler And The Three
Bears
I could not remember a colder March, and here I
was in a bear den in the mountains of
Pennsylvania, holding a cub. No, I do not have a
death wish.
Mr. President, Meet Dayne
Traveler
I jumped off the back of the stage in an effort
to meet him. As the President approached, the Secret
Service yelled, "Freeze!" Fortunately, the President was
not threatened by two guys who more resembled Laurel and
Hardy than potential assassins, and waived us on.
Mission Impossible
Subject X was a photojournalist. He had a press
pass and camera equipment for me. I told him I was very
comfortable using disposables, but not cameras capable
of capturing close-ups of the moon! He gave me a crash
course. My mission was to infiltrate the Eagles’ playing
field and blend in with the reporters and other
photographers. X said, “Dayne, I don’t mind doing this
for you, but get some good pictures for me.”
Blue Hawaii
Can you picture it? I was in a cage three miles
away from land with sharks circling.
