Live Adventure, Cedar Hill

Several years ago, brothers Branndon and Greg Bargo set out on a mammoth adventure. Not sure what exactly they were after, they biked 4,000 miles from Alaska to Mexico and found themselves submerged in the open waters of the Pacific, scuba diving with sharks. It's times like these when you begin questioning why you still have a desk job, so in 2005 Branndon kissed his cubicle goodbye and founded Live Adventure.

Today, the company continues to thrive as a means of encouraging people to challenge themselves while discovering deeper connections with the world around them. Within Cedar Hill State Park, the guides organize team-building programs and encourage groups to kayak, swim, and fish on Joe Pool Lake. Other expeditions include rock-climbing outings and guided jaunts around the planet.
