Did anyone watch Expeditin Impossible? I so enjoyed that show. And I am so sad now that it has ended. The Gypsies may have won, but NO LIMITS had my heart all the way through. I can only wish that I could or would have the faith and trust that Erik (the blind man) had in Ike to lead him through the whole thing was just amazing.
Im sad that NO LIMITS came in second, but in my book they came in first because of all adversities and challenges they went through. I could never do something like this.
I don't know if any of you are from the Boulder area or nearby but the Gypsies and No Limits are putting on a charity Party....

What: "Expedition Impossible" finale watch party with No Limits and the Gypsies

When: 8 p.m. Aug. 25

Where: Lazy Dog Saloon, 1346 Pearl St., Boulder

Cost: $20; proceeds benefit Erik Weihenmayer's charity, No Barriers


If I lived close I would go in a heartbeat.

I watched it. I was routing for No Limits too! They are awesome! Just think of what would have happened if they could see and didn't have a broken ankle?

I watched too, and was hoping that "No Limits" would win as well. They came from behind to make it to 2nd and I think they were very proud of all they accomplished. They certainly had the cards stacked against them at times.

Although I am not surprised "Gypsies" won. They had come in 1st I believe every week but 1.

I really think that they would have won IF he didnt mess his ankle up like he did..

Did you know that Erik (the blind man) has a book published?

It is called....

Touch the Top of the World: A Blind Man's Journey to Climb Farther than the Eye Can See: My Story Erik Weihenmayer
Erik Weihenmayer (Author)

You can get it on amazon. I really really really want to read this book one day. :)

I am a HUGE "No Limits" fan.....they were my fav from the very beginning and they are 1st in my book.

I think they are the meaning of "true friends."

Of the 3 teams left ...the Gypsies would have been my 2nd fav.....

The "Fab" team made me ill....so cocky and please stop whining!
