Lewis and Clark were both hobbled during their great expedition—Clark, from resentment at his second billing, and Lewis, from a Lego slipped into his hiking boot by Clark. Enjoy non-competitive nature excursions with today's Groupon: for $29, you get $60 worth of day trips, weekend hikes, and more from Outdoor Bound Adventures.
Led by a fearless fleet of highly trained and traveled guides, Outdoor Bound Adventures takes thrill-seeking city-dwellers on expeditions throughout New York and around the world. Break free from the crushing confines of corner offices and walk-in sock drawers with a choice of delightfully alfresco day trips, including a six-mile jaunt with four-legged beasts to Pine Meadow Lake ($79) and a seven-mile waterfall hike in Minnewaska State Park ($59). Wayfarers craving lengthier communions with nature can embark upon multi-day forays, such as a weekend hike to the summit of New York's tallest peak ($425), or a six-month hibernation in a semi-abandoned bear cave. Meanwhile, time-strapped travelers and those with a fear of flying squirrels can stick to the city to snap postcard-perfect photos of Central Park's springtime blooms.
Outdoor Bound Adventures matches its tireless pursuit of fresh-air fun with respect for the environment. Guided by the principles set forth by the Leave No Trace program, each Outdoor Bound trip is designed to minimize environmental impact and promote ecological awareness.

The Groupon Guide to: Faking Your Own Death
With piano-recital season coming up, faking one's own death is becoming more and more popular. Here are some tips for those who want a clean slate:
Make Sure It's for You: Faking your death is a lot of work and not tax-deductible, so you have to be sure.
Convincing is the Name of the Game: Your fake death cannot have even the slightest hint that it was not real. If you want to go the extra mile, leave a note by your bed that reads, "I really murdered this person. There was blood from it but this person had invisible blood. His/her last words were, 'Leave $500 in the mailbox every Wednesday night in my memory.' From: The real murderer."
Do It with Style: This is your chance to "go out" in a blaze of glory. If your death doesn't involve fireworks, Ferraris, free buffalo wings, a ton of hunks and babes, and the Bob's Big Boy mascot, go back to the drawing board.
Grim-Reap the Benefits: If you did a good job, then you have fooled the universe and are now immortal. Enjoy a life of jumping off buildings to prove a point and watching everything you love slowly decay into entropic nothingness. Also, you now get 15% off all submarine sandwiches.
