I was a dumb 15 year-old kid when this movie was aired and, boy, did it ever impress me. Not only was it a mind-tripper at the time as far as plot and action, but this piece of art introduced me to Darren McGavin, treated me with the likes of James Whitmore, Mako and Broderick Crawford, and presented future biggies Sam Elliot and Adolph Caesar (who knew?!) Also appearing is the great Joe Bernard, supporting actor icon. Neat twists throughout the flick and its ending just about killed me. I rate this work as essential viewing in the same vein as "Fail-Safe" and "Ice Station Zebra". Sure do wish I could feast my eyes on it again. Come to think of it, I'll bet something like this has probably already happened in our lifetime. Chilling, man!
I saw this movie when it originally aired in 1970, and I loved it. I also remember the trailers from the week before that centered around the weapon Gallery used (a double barreled sub-machine gun),really cool ! The idea that two countries would decide to settle their differences and avoid all out war by choosing their toughest soldier to fight it out on a deserted island was great. Sadly, both sides plot to stack the deck and keep an ace up their sleeve, a starkly realistic twist. I've been trying to get a tape of this movie for twenty years, and will gladly pay a reasonable finders fee for a copy.
I was lucky enough to tape this movie off broadcast 20 years ago. A
great basic story line and well made for a TV movie. Gallery (DM) gets
nifty toys to play with from a waterhole poison kit to a dual side by
side Madsen M50 submachine guns loaded with full loads and bird shot.
Mako does a good job but doesn't have the high tech gizmo's that
gallery has. Both sides cheat by sending in another soldier each to
finish the job, with our two stars being more honorable disposing of
these interlopers.
All this over a Bomb carrying satellite that crashed and the bad guys got to first and are sitting on it like a hen in the middle of the ocean.
Good bang for the buck spent. If this ever comes out on DVD I sure will get a copy. A good movie to get lost in on a lazy eve.
"The Challenge" is a great little movie, if you can find it. I haven't
it in quite a few years, and then it was only on television.
The premise of the movie is nothing new. The USA and a smaller asian country are both vying for something that landed in the ocean (I can't remember if it was a missile, or space capsule, or satellite, or what), and rather than wage war over the object, they decide to let two men, one from each nation, fight a 2-man war (a surrogate war) on a deserted island to determine who has the right to it.
If the premise seems silly, don't worry, the movie is thoroughly enjoyable and the premise soons fades into the background as the two combatants begin their cat and mouse game of survival. Both lead actors, Darren McGavin and Mako, are terrific. As Gallery, an ex US soldier/special operations spook, McGavin is a "screw the rules" mercenary type who the government needs for this mission, but doesn't really trust. Mako is every bit his equal though as the communist (at least, I think that he was a communist) soldier with a whole bag of tricks for his US counterpart.
I suppose someone might draw some sort of political conclusions from this movie, but if you are watching it for anything more than the great duel between the main characters, you are missing the point. As made-for-TV movies go, this is a gem.
I have been looking for this film for 25 years. It was on the old ABC Movie of the week several times and I have not seen it since. Everyone that I have ever mentioned this movie to just goes Duh I don't know, or they try and tell me it's a Lee Marvin movie (wrong flick).
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Shown as an ABC-TV "Movie of the Week" in March, 197O, "The Challenge"
has all but disappeared from view--yet it lingers in the memory of
those who saw it then, and has acquired enough of a cult following to
allow collectors to share amateur DVD and VHS copies of the film,
usually made from the same red-tinted 16-mm print.
(NOTE to ABC and 2Oth Century-Fox: none of us really wants to watch this film, or any other, on a "pirate" video. Release an authorized, good-quality "official" version and we'll jump at it. Think about it; I know you will.)
Adding to the film's obscurity is the somewhat generic title "The Challenge," which is shared by at least half-a-dozen other movies of varying merit. The above-mentioned print shows the title "Surrogate," which doesn't exactly set off bells of recognition with potential viewers, but hits somewhat closer to the mark.
The "surrogates" in question are Jacob Gallery (Darren McGavin in a rare performance worthy of his talent), an irreverent American mercenary, and Yuro (Mako), soldier in the army of an unnamed Communist country clearly modeled on Red China. They represent the "lowest common denominator" in warfare: two champions dueling on an isolated Pacific island to see whose nation will take possession of a nuclear payload-carrying-satellite that crashed in the ocean.
Among a truly stellar supporting cast, James Whitmore is the American in charge (National Security Adviser?), big-voiced Skip Homeier plays the State Department rep who pushes for Gallery as the U.S. champion, Broderick Crawford is General Meyers, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who'd rather send his own Major Bryant (an impossibly young Sam Elliot)in place of the unconventional Gallery, and the legendary Paul Lukas (in his last film role) is the U.S. expert on all things Oriental, who offhandedly predicts that Gallery will lose--and precisely how.
(Incidentally, the highly individualistic Gallery, a court-martialed ex-officer, is one in a series of "nobly rebellious" characters created by writer Marc Norman--who, a quarter-century later, would win an Academy Award writing similar characterizations for Joseph Fiennes and Gwyneth Paltrow to play in "Shakespeare in Love.")
The scene that sears the memory occurs when a wounded and dying Gallery sees that Bryant, in violation of all the rules (written and unwritten)has been sent in as a backup by General Meyers, and has the drop on Yuro. Ordered by Bryant to "Use your weapon. USE IT!" Gallery, nodding, damn well does--
--ON BRYANT, not Yuro!
Shortly afterward, Gallery finds that Yuro has likewise eliminated his own backup, leaving the two badly wounded adversaries free to proceed to the concluding scene of their personal drama, an object lesson in futility.
Released at the height of the Vietnam controversy, "The Challenge" no doubt ignited fires of its own, especially with the Bryant shooting scene, which apparently represents Gallery honoring a higher loyalty than patriotism--truth, perhaps? It's an attitude found more often among thoughtful patriots than among those flag-fondlers and bell-ringers who blindly chant "my country, right or wrong" in any and all circumstances.
Besides being well-made and well-acted, "The Challenge" carries a message that cries out to be heard--now, even more than then.
I saw this flick when I was a crazy, mixed up 15 year old kid and simply fell in love with it. ABC Movies Of The Week were quite the thing back then, and this little gem was truly a piece of work. Armed with steely ambition, the film's intense performers serve it very well. MCGAVIN, WHITMORE, CRAWFORD, an unknown but outstanding SAM ELLIOT, the Oscar nominated ADOLPHE CAESAR who died before his time, and awesome JOE BERNARD in another fine support bit. Over the years, I've thought about this motion picture and wondered why it stuck around inside me. If only they'd make films like this again. They probably won't. If only conflicts could be settled like this. Perhaps they have. SEE THIS MOVIE!
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
I am perfectly aware that I watched a real gem here. A rare and
interesting TV movie that not many people saw. A sort of political
fiction adventure movie. A movie which is in the anti communist move,
with many bitter accents in the meaning of this strange tale. We, of
course, think of John Boorman's HELL IN PACIFIC, starring Lee Marvin
and Toshiro Mifune. Mako and Darren Mac Gavin are excellent. And, as
another user said, I could have seen Steve Mac Queen in the lead
character. A connection to Vietnam war is in the middle of this very
interesting plot. There would be more features like this one.
I love TVM for this reason, we find stories we can't purchase in more classic movies, released in theatres.
Catch it if you can...
I too, saw this movie when it first aired on ABC television as their Movie of the Week. The cast is very strong with some outstanding character actors taking what could have been a very hoaky movie and execute the story with believability. Mako and Darrin McGavin have an interesting relationship and interact well as they try to kill each other. Neither care much for their governments but, fight to win in spite of that. This movie has been highly under rated. I too, would like to see this movie get released, either back out on to syndication or DVD. A good Cold War movie. It's fun to see movies where actors are just starting out, Sam Elliot is the case in point here. He plays the Army's choice (and the ace up the sleeve) for the Champion. He is the by the book professional soldier who follows orders against McGavin as the unorthodox mercenary who is preferred by the State Department. Brodrick Crawford is the General who would rather not play this game and James Whitmore is the political suit who has to make the whole game work.
McGavin was 47 when he made this terrific little film.
No TV actor was as good at these roles as McGavin. He was the TV equivalent of Steve McQueen or Lee Marvin, both of whom were also veterans of TV. "The Challenge" could have made a strong theatrical movie for McQueen or Marvin. It could still be remade today.
McGavin had already starred in four television series at this point.
McGavin had starred the previous season in "The Outsider", as ex-con private investigator David Ross. This was one of the finest private eye series. Roy Huggins, who created and produced the series, later retooled it as "The Rockford Files".
After "The Challenge", McGavin made two other exceptional Movies of the Week: "Tribes" and "The Night Stalker". These were better films than most movie stars were making at the time.
When the "Gallery" pilot didn't sell, McGavin immediately signed on for another pilot where he played a spy named Killian. The TV movie was called "Berlin Affair". When someone asked him if the film was cloak and dagger, McGavin said it was more "girl on arm". That pilot didn't sell either.
I read once that McGavin turned down the lead in "Hogan's Heros" (1965-1971). He could have been dazzling in that role.
But in 1965 McGavin did sign on to star in a pilot of "From Here to Eternity". McGavin would have played the Burt Lancaster role of Sergeant Warden. Another tantalizing might have been.

Christmas Day was a rare day off for Hudson's Bay Company employees who lived at Fort Vancouver in the 1840s.
They spent it playing games, preparing a holiday meal, drinking wassail, making music and dancing.
The Fort Vancouver National Historic Site will re-create that time in history with a series of events on Dec. 12.
"It's an opportunity to learn about the holidays in the 1840s, which were very different," said Kimm Fox-Middleton, Supervisory Park Ranger and Special Events Program Manager for the Fort Vancouver National Site.
The fort has hosted similar programs in the past, but this year there are more hands-on activities, Fox-Middleton said.
In the kitchen, re-enactors playing Hudson's Bay Company workers will prepare for the holiday meal by starting a fire at about 9 a.m., which will need hours to burn to coals and heat surrounding bricks so they can properly cook food and bake bread for a midday meal. They will make a menu typical to the fort in the 1840s, including meat — most likely a goose — pickled vegetables and fruit.
Visitors are often shocked at how long the meal preparations took, Fox-Middleton said, and that it was possible to create an elaborate meal without the help of modern tools such as meat thermometers.
Off to the side of the cooking area, visitors can learn how fort residents made potpourri. Potpourri was used to help the residents and their clothes smell better, since they had fewer opportunities back then to bathe or do laundry.
In the fort's visitors' center, re-enactors will show off the kinds of games families played. They include jack straws, which is similar to pick-up sticks, and marbles.
"Some of the games have carried over from generation to generation," Fox-Middleton said.
To re-create the music that families would have made, the Madrigal Singers will rove the property performing Christmas carols.
Some of the activities on Dec. 12 will reflect what fort residents did to prepare for the holiday such as making decorations. In the bake house, for example, re-enactors will teach visitors how wreaths were made. "There would have been a large wreath at the chief factor's house," Fox-Middleton said.
Gifts were often crafted from recycled materials. Women would reuse printed paper sent as part of tea shipments along with leftover scraps of yarn to make bookmarks. "It was a small way for them to say happy holidays," Fox-Middleton said.
Near the end of the day, fort employees will show how workers for the Hudson's Bay Company got their food through hunting with a demonstration of historic weapons.
Beyond the fort, the Marshall House on Officer's Row will invite visitors to learn more about a Victorian-era Christmas. The house's two trees will be decorated with traditional Victorian ornaments, many of them made in the image of birds.
"There was a lot of emphasis on the natural world," said Susan Holton, communications manager for the Fort Vancouver National Trust.
In the 1800s, trees would have been lit with candles, but because of the fire hazard, the Marshall House tree uses electric lights.
The Restaurant at the Historic Reserve, Pearson Air Museum and the Water Resources Education Center will also take part. For those who want to make a day of it, Holton said, there will be bus service available to shuttle guests from one facility to another. The only exception is the Water Resources Education Center, where there is ample parking.
At Pearson, children can visit with Santa, who will be sitting in a historic airplane.
The Restaurant at the Historic Reserve will provide a place where families can stop for a meal. During the day, there will be a breakfast buffet, which will feature an appearance from Santa. In the evening, local schoolchildren and a theater group will perform an improvisational interpretation of "A Christmas Carol" while guests eat dinner.
At the Water Resources Education Center, the emphasis will be on recycling items into holiday decor.
In one hands-on session, participants will learn to make felt from old wool, such as discarded sweaters. The staff will share a polar bear pattern, which visitors can use to make a felt ornament.
Fox-Middleton said the intention is to provide enough activities that families can spend an entire day at the Fort Vancouver National Site and that there will be something of interest for all age groups.
"The idea is that people can spend the whole day here doing all these activities," Fox-Middleton said.

Almost a year ago, our fairly new shower valve started misbehaving. It would pop out and spin freely without affecting the water flow. We could make it work by pushing it in while turning, which was a "reasonable workaround". Therefore, I took way too long to get it fixed.
I finally took it apart a few months ago to get to the bottom of the situation, but quickly ran into what I thought might be a point of no return. And if I couldn't get it back together again, I'd be at the mercy of plumber emergency visit fees before I could turn the water back on in the house.
Later I had a plumber out doing some other work and I asked him to look at it. He was entirely unhelpful and just suggested that we call Kohler for advise. I find it hard to believe that a plumber who has surely seen countless shower valves in his life wouldn't have a hint as to what was wrong, but anyway...
Fast forward to this past weekend when I decided to go all-in on getting this fixed. I pressed on enough to remove the broken part, and after some searching around on the Internet, found that there was a single Kohler part that looked exactly like mine.
From there it was smooth sailing.
Pretty much all videos about broken shower valves that I could find are about are really basic and focused on the handle itself being stripped. This was not the issue here, so here's a video to help you fix your own shower valve rather than getting a plumber to shrug his shoulders at you or charge you way too much to fix it. Not sure which is worse.
The part that I used is Kohler GP77759 Kohler Mixer Cap Unit.
I bought it from Amazon. Ordered on Sunday night, had it in the shower on Tuesday.
While you are in there, you should also replace the shower balancing pressure unit: Kohler GP500520 Shower Pressure Balancing Unit.
I did not do this in the video, but I should have, and it's very easy. This piece is behind the mixer cap and just slides out. No screws or fasteners.
Good luck!

Vancouver Public Works laid the groundwork Monday for potential increases to water, surface water and solid waste utility rates.
In a presentation to the city council, the department's director and finance manager said that incremental increases will be necessary to keep paying debt on projects and also to pay for future capital needs. The exact amounts of each proposed rate increase were not supplied; those figures will be given at a Dec. 5 workshop.
Ultimately, said Public Works Director Brian Carlson, public works will do all its maintenance and capital investment on a pay-as-you-go basis, taking on debt only when absolutely necessary.
Last year, the city council approved sewer rate increases of 9 percent and 6.5 percent for 2011 and 2012 respectively. That fund had been spending down its reserves since 2003; however, the sewer budget is back on track and will need rate increases in the near future only to adjust for inflation, Carlson said.
But the city's water fund has been spending down its reserves since 2007, and over the next 20 years, the program needs $150 million in maintenance and expansion projects.
Surface water will need $19 million for its needed work, and that figure could grow because of upcoming new requirements from the state Department of Ecology, Carlson said.
Solid waste cost increases will reflect the Consumer Price Index of 2.1 percent and increases in the cost of disposing of trash.
After the Dec. 5 workshop, the proposed rate increases will go for a first reading on Dec. 12; a final reading, citizen comment and a likely vote will be Dec. 19.

Samsung I9300 Galaxy S III review -
Camera & Sound
The S3 has two cameras. The main camera in the S3 is an 8 megapixel cammy with LED flash and auto focus features. It's probably the best camera I have ever seen on a smartphone. The camera is capable of 1080p video recording at 30fps.
There is also a secondary camera that comes with a 1.9MP front-facing camera for video calls.
The primary camera shoots photos at 8 MP and records 1080p HD video as well. The camera has a voice-activated photo capture option and a burst shooting mode which takes 3.3 photos per second. It also sports zero shutter lag, less than a second shot-to-shot time is bound to surprise you in a positive manner. After the zero-shutter lag the camera takes 20 photos at once, the Best Photo feature chooses the top eight photos and allows users to select what he or she considers the best. Another useful feature is that the camera phone is also capable of snapping stills while recording a video.
The ability to recognise faces from within photographs is fun as well, it is meant to make it simpler to find the people you care about. Overall we found the speed with which you can take a picture combined with all the options it offers and the sheer range of settings for those that want to dig a little bit deeper like contrast, exposure, ISO levels and white balance tweaks very well thought through. It is easy to work with and honestly, the output quality is more than adequate for most.
Some photos taken with the S3 (quite bad low light situation).
Sound Quality
We have to mention the speaker. Overall quality is okay for a smartphone, decent sound with good volume levels, definitely loud enough. The Galaxy S3 does function as a multimedia device, common audio formats are all supported. The S3 also has a built in FM radio, you'll need to plug in the headphones though as it functions as an antenna.
You'll receive in-ear headphones with the S3, audio quality can be tweaked with EQ presets, the overall output quality we found to be pretty good with nice and good bass.

Important Note: This is our 2nd Review of Behr Exterior Weatherproofing Wood and Deck Stains. First review was completed in 2010.
See Here for 2010: Behr Deck Stain Review
BEHR's best semi-transparent product, this advanced 100% acrylic formula penetrates deep into wood to deliver complete protection from the elements for up to 6 years on decks and 8 years on fences and siding. The silicone-fortified formula delivers excellent protection from the sun's harmful UV rays. BEHR PREMIUM® Semi-Transparent Wood Stain is available in 60 custom colors that add beauty while allowing the natural wood grain to show through. The alkyd/acrylic formula combines the benefits of an oil-based finish and the convenient cleanup of a water-based product.
Behr Premium Weatherproofing Stain Scores (1-10)
Appearance After Initial Stain Application: 2
– The application of the Behr Premium Weatherproofing Stain was a repeat from our first test. We found that the Behr does not penetrate into the wood like the product claims it should. It dries on top of the surface like a paint. It had the look of a semi-solid with much of the wood grain masked by the pigment. The Cedar color on the deck made it look like a pumpkin.
Preventing UV Graying at 2 Year Mark: 8
– The one positive about the Behr is that it has excellent UV protection in the areas where the stain had not failed. Unfortunately this was only half of the deck floor and most of the railings.
Wear/Tear and Peeling: 1
– The cedar porch was "Behr" of stain on more then half of the flooring. The stain had peeled or worn in large uneven patches. Vertical rails did not have any issues.
Cost Per Square Foot: 4
– Behr Premium Weatherproofing Stain costs $39 per gallon. We used 5 gallons for the 300 square feet for the 2 coats applied.
$.55 per foot.
Preventing Mold/Mildew/Algae: 7
– Behr Premium Weatherproofing Stain had some mold growing on the flooring near the home and on top of the rail cap.
Ease of Application: 2
– Applying the Behr Premium Stain is like painting your deck except it does not apply evenly. We have stained 1000's of decks and have never found a stain to be more difficult to apply then Behr. It dries extremely fast and will show overlaps if not careful. We used a paint brush and hand applied the stain to the entire deck as that seemed to give the best results.
Color Shifting (darkening) after 2 Years: 8
– Behr Premium Weatherproofing Stain does not darken in color much or at all.
Difficulty of Reapplication: 2
– This is how we fixed the Behr Premium Wood Stain. We applied a heavy dose of the Behr Stain Remover and tired to pressure wash off the remaining stain. It did not work. We then used the RAD Stain Stripper at a very high concentration and repeated. This removed about 85% of the stain. We were left sanding off the rest then cleaning and brightening the wood to even out the porosity of the wood. Prepping took 12 hours and needless to say, the customer switched brands.
Overall Score Defy Extreme Stain at 2 Year Period: 4.625
– Rated #1 By Consumers. Not sure why and feedback from most of our users agree. Consumers own website has a user rating of 1 out of 5 stars. Thirteen out of the 14 reviews from actual users gave it a 1 star.
This stain should be removed from sale to the public.

Disgruntled Behr Customer
Will never purchase/use Behr Deck Stain again! The review from the above product review is an accurate description of our experience after using this product. This stain goes on more like paint, did not cover evenly, and the stain began peeling on flat surfaces (deck floor, railing top/bottom) soon after application. The upright rails were not affected and held the stain. Small consolation as now we have more work ahead removing the stain from the uprights before redoing the whole deck with a product that lives up to its claims!!
I came to this site to see why my Behr semi transparent stain is still tacky. Well I guess I found out by reading all the comments here. AND I am mad as hell!!! Two years ago I bought two 5 gallon cans of Behr Deck OVER, and I followed the instructions carefully. This product had a 10 year warranty! The following summer 75% of it was bumbling and peeling off.
I called Behr and they sent me 8 gallons of paint remover and two new 5 gallon cans of Deck Over. However the paint remover could not remove the remaining 25% of the paint! So I contacted Behr again and they agreed to pay for a floor sander. Even with the sander it was difficult to remove it all.
I refused to use Deck Over again and told them. So they sent me 5 Gallons of their Semi-Transparent Stain and two gallons of deck prep.
After following all the directions a I applied the stain. After a few days it is still tacky and after reading all the comments here I guess i got screwed again by Behr. Will this stuff ever dry?
Is there a lawyer out there please! Maybe a class action suit is in order here!
Same here. Will not dry!!!
We have EXACTLY the same issues — going on 2 weeks after application. Followed directions accurately, and spent countless hours sanding down our very large walnut deck before applying. Not only is it still tacky, it is not completely impervious to moisture, and my beautiful deck is covered in scratches from plastic furniture. Completely unacceptable, and now we must re-do the entire thng. Horrible product
Do not buy this product , complety ruined our new deck because of the peeling !! If I could sue behr I would !!
My experience with this product was at least as bad as described above. Complete failure in one year or less.
I had the same experience with this product – it started peeling off our deck almost immediately and by the end of summer I had to sand the entire deck (except the rails), and purchase new stain to re-finish our deck. It was horrible! After all the work of building a large deck and staining it, to have to re-do the whole thing months later was a terrible experience. Never again!
I used the Behr Premium Weatherproofing Wood Finish on our deck and it started to peel and flake off the deck boards as well as the rails. We are very upset and were told by a Behr salesman that we could get our money back for the product. What about all are labor cost? Very unhappy our new deck looks horrible!!!!!!!!
They told me the same thing. Lot's of labor involved. I was told they don't have a program to fix it. They did tell me to mix Dawn Dish washing liquid with water and apply that all over the deck. I did it twice. It still feels like syrup has been spilled on your shoes when you walk on it. The stuff sucks.
I used this stain as well. what a joke. it started peeling in patches after the first month. after the winter it was just a complete disaster with patches peeling all over the place. it was such a waste of time and money and one year later i have to do all the work all over again plus try to remove whats left of the old. terrible, terrible product.
I spent several hours today sanding my cedar deck clean of this product. It peeled quite badly after less then one year of light use (I might use my deck twice a week when I'm having a cigar). I just hope my back pain doesn't come back after today. I'm extremely disappointed. Yes, they offered to reimburse me for a new can of the same product (along with conditioner, etc…), but I can't see myself using this product again. I'm looking for alternatives as we speak.
OMG I just had to do the same exact thing !
Hi Vince , I feel your pain . We are in the process of using this as I speak . Thank God we only did the rails so far , I just told my husband to NOT put it on our deck floor . I hate the look of our rails , we used chocolate and it looks nothing like the sample did . It is terrible ; looks like we hired first graders to come do the work. I will purchase a different product for the floor . But now we are out a lot of money and time , and my very large wrap-around porch is hideous .
Does anyone know if this issue is potentially going to a class action? I have been in negotiations with Behr on these types of problems with my deck and they have offered me a settlement if I sign a release. Seeing all of these exact same issues with others makes me think that I should wait and see where this goes legally…
I used Behr waterproofing on my decks for a number of years and it worked out pretty well. However starting 2 years ago the product starts peeling as described by others here. Did they change the formula or something?
I wondered about this also as I had used it several years ago and had pretty good results.
We had problems also. Dust stuck to it and it peeled. What a mess. Of course, when I called them, they claimed I did not apply it correctly or the temperature and humidity were not right. Do not buy this product.
I used Behr 3 years ago and after the second year it started to badly peel and now I am finding rotted wood. I have used Behr in the past with good success but the formulation appeared to change the last time I used it. At that time it went on like "paint" rather than a sealer. This product should be removed from the market. I has cost me a lot of money in unneccessary repairs.
I applied this Behr product to a deck that had been stained 4 years ago with another Behr product. Deck was cleaned and allowed to dry per instructions. Deck was sprayed with an airless HVLP sprayer six days ago. As of this afternoon it is still tacky. Simply will not dry. Anyone else have this problem or know how to remedy this situation?
Besides the peeling, etc. we find this product has made our deck dangerously slippery when wet. Has anybody else experienced this?
Applied to 3 decks of new wood at new house. Based my decision to use Behr on Consumer Reports. Three weeks later ithe semi transparent stain was a non transparent pumpkin color. Three weeks passed and it was still tacky. All footprints showed on it. We used Behr stain remover in conjunction with a 3400psi power washer. It crackled up like paint and thankfully came off pretty well. This product is a total waste of money and needs to be taken off the market!!!
I was going to use this stain on my 6 yr old cedar deck (stained previously with another brand's product) based on CR's recommendation until I read the comments here. I am wondering now which product to buy if one cannot trust CR … Who wants to go through this work to learn the hard way? Any suggestions based on good experiences? Too many brands and "flavors", next to the impossible to pick.
My deck was just completed a month ago and the color actually looks good. My issue is that dirt "sticks" to this stain and doesn't wash off. So my brand new deck is already filthy and nothing seems to clean it off. Any thoughts/experience around this? based on these reviews I'm guessing I'll have to re-stain it after winter.
Recommended by our contractor, we used Behr Simi transparent weather proofing stain in cedar (#146). I came home from work and was shocked to see our deck looking like it had been white-washed. The color was horrible. Looked like mocha coffee had been poured on my deck. So for the second coat we changed the color to Behr transparent weather proofing all-in-one wood finish (#501) Cedar Naturaltone. That helped the color a little. However, it has now been six days and we cannot walk on the deck because it is sticky. I'm just sick after reading these reviews. Wish I hadn't taken the word of my contractor and looked at some reviews myself before starting this project. Will call Behr to see what they have to say.
what do you do when the stain will not cure. It still sticky and the out side temp 80f. Will in ever get to the point of not being sticky Is there a way to get it off my new deck out. I have the feiling that I am up shit creek
I was recommended Behr Premium Weatherproofing Stain for our deck, was told it's simply the best. Wish I would have read the reviews first. After two weeks, it's still too sticky to walk on and will leave footprints if I do. The dog has already left footprints and the deck is covered now with dust which I'm certain will not come off because of the stickiness. Will the stain EVER cure and be completely dry? I want my outdoor space back! I paid hundreds of dollars on stain for a large deck and overhang. I live in a very dry climate with almost zero humidity and cool summer temperatures. I can't afford to redo the entire deck!
Yeah, I used this product on my front porch deck about 4 or 5 years ago that faces north and gets NO direct sunlight. A darker red color that covers about 75% of the natural wood grain and is about 7'x16' . It looked pretty good after it was applied and it mostly still looks good now, except on the steps where there is no overhang and we do have to salt and shovel. The thing that ticks me off is that they call it a penetrating stain but it really is more like a paint as it's not very translucent and it does peel off easily like a paint. A true stain should penetrate the wood and not be scraped off easily or flake! I felt lied to. A real stain would not peel like that. Also, this stuff is a very dangerous slip hazard and should be applied with sand if you will be walking on it in the winter. I would be shocked if no one has broken some bones on this stuff. A light dusting of snow on this PAINT and you can skate on it with regular shoes! Anyways, I guess I have no choice but to lightly sand the peeled areas, and hope a 2nd coat (with sand) will cover the worn areas without looking too weird.
Continued from last post- Even tho this is a small deck, it would be a nighmare to strip. The other areas still look good but if I coat over them again, I won't see any of the original woodgrain.
Ok I used this an just like many of you I have a sticky deck that shows every overlap. The stuff sucks. I think we need a lawyer.
I tried Behr semitransparent redwood stain on a porch. It goes on unevenly with darker blotches of color in some areas. It did not penetrate the wood at all. It is like a paint. It wore off quickly in traffic areas. It night be good for something but I cannot imagine what. Maybe a really old unsalvageable fence. It is not for a deck and not any fence with usable wood. It does not act or look like a stain. And interestingly enough despite the recommendations of CU the comments there are not good. I ended up using on a fence TWP 1500 which is great and also Preserva-Wood which is also excellent.
I just finished cleaning and applying 2 coats of BEHR Redwood Transparent stain. As everyone stated, it is more like a paint and is very sticky for a couple of weeks. Dust/footprints show, scratches easily and after 3 weeks since the application, we have rain today. The deck is absorbing the water. I did my front porch at the same time but with Thompson's waterproof redwood color and even though the color is miles different than BEHR's, at least Thompson's is beading water like a freshly waxed car. I will have to wait out the BEHR paint… I mean "stain" …and strip/clean the decks in a few years. It is just too much work with the railings to do this again so soon on 3 decks.
Ugh. I am about to apply the second coat on my deck in Michigan after a week of lovely dry 70 dgr days, but it's still tacky. The part I did 2nd coat is even stickier. So, has there been any success by waiting a whole season before applying a 2nd coat. Thinking I will wait til spring now.
In Canada we do not have very many options for stains. something in the the good stuff Canada will not permit.
I'd like to see a review on Transparent rather then the Semi-transparent. I'm sure they are different.
That said, I ended up getting the Behr transparent natural.
I chose this for 2 reasons.
1. I took in a sample of wood and tested it out on a piece of cedar i had. They took a cloth and wiped it on the board, waited a few and did again to give it a look of two coats. this looked pretty good in store.
2. Warranty. They stand behind the warranty. My father used their stain and in 2 years it started to peel, he wrote them a letter and showed pictures, and they offered to pay for all the materials it would cost to have it cleaned and painted again.
My Observations so far with:
Natural #500 – Transparent – applied to new Cedar – Wester Red – Fence – Toronto
cloth versus a brush or pad… puts on less stain. it looks better when it goes on really thin, and drys faster.
goes on a little thick so spreading it out is slow, but give you time not to over stain the first spot you put the brush down
not quite as transparent as i'd like… almost [but not quite] looks like a semi-transparent
tacky to touch more than 24 hours
kinda wish I went with the red cedar tone 501 colour. this one seems a bit too yellow. but the neighbours wanted natural…
the youtube link is dead.
I painted my cedar fence with BEHR semi-transparent wood stain 5 years ago. I wished I had read the reviews before doing, but live and learn…Is there a better quality stain/paint I could apply over the existing BEHR? I don't want to strip and/or sand off the existing one. Am I forced to apply BEHR wood stain on top of BEHR wood stain or is there at least a better quality or longer lasting alternative?
Thanks, Diane
One of the worst products I have ever worked with! I wonder why Home Depot sells this junk to millions of people and ruins their decks. They must being in a long term contract or getting a massive kickback on all sales.
I've painted for 30 years and this is the worst product I've used. I lost a few clients after using this on jobs. Used it on my new back deck and is was peeling in a few months and looks like it's been there for 20 years. Don't buy this.
It has pealed every year now half of my cedar boards are rotten want a new deck but cannot afford one trying to fix my self but am 72 and having hard time
Interesting review of Behr in that Consumer Reports rated this #1 just under TWP in the latest 2014 deck stain report. What explains the disagreement? Reformulation?
Hi, after reading this section I actually subscribed to CR. The Behr they actually give best rating to is the non-premium solid color. Not sure if I want to jump down the rabbit hole and try it though. We're in Nova Scotia and not many choices available.
I used Bhar nwf waterproofing stain! It's been on3 wks and dtl tacky ' I clef beer and they told
Ego mop with warm soapy water then rinse! Doesn't work ! Now what??
I have stained my deck using Behr in the cedar color. It has been two weeks and the deck is still sticky. I do not know what to do about it.
Very disappointed in the product after spending the money and time.
This stuff is crap. Did exactly what the can said and it will not dry. After 2 weeks put rocking chairs back on deck and it pulled the stain right off. Called Behr and they had the nerve to tell me I could get 2 cans of any kind of their product. I said no thanks and that they should have a contractor come out and fix this mess. They said they don't do that so I said give me my money back and I will never use Behr products again.
Did you sand your surface before applying the stain. Many wood materials need to be sanded before applications of stain because of chemicals they use when cutting the lumber. I am not a Behr product fan period myself.
Part 1
>> I used this product (on a previously non-stained pressure treated deck) as per label directions back in 2008 or 2009 (can't recall without looking up receipts) and it was peeling the following season on horizontals but 90% good on verticals except for those facing predominant wind side of weather which were down to about 40-50%. 3 summers later I stripped and sanded remaining stain (wearing a mask as the potential for lead dust was indicated on label) to get back to original wood. While it's best to not sand these stains or pressure treated wood, strippers alone didn't do the job. Once back to the original wood (and the deck looking amazing!) a brightener was used. Ready to stain again.
>> Not satisfied with the product, I researched stains again, and once again Behr was still showing up as the preferred choice for locally available product when compared to alternatives. HD had difficulty matching the color this time given the tint color code I chose the first time I stained was no longer available. I left without the stain to check around for alternate products and HD said they'd contact Behr. When I returned a few days later, an HD associate said he was informed by the BEHR rep the base formula had changed (as well as some of the tint formulas even if they had the same color code) so it would be trial and error to get the same color. This formula change was reportedly in response to complaints of the stain not lasting more than 1-2 years for majority of customers who took the time to let HD or Behr know. Should have walked away at that point. After a few tries adding the tint, it came out nearly identical to leftover stain I had from the previous application (which was stored air tight in normal humidity and temp range). Not having a clear alternative, I proceeded to purchase the Behr Premium semi-transparent again.
Part 2
>> I have a 12x14ft back deck and 6x22ft front deck for a total surface area of just under 800 sqft including the uprights. Despite the label stating 2-coat coverage estimates, I required 4.5 gallons of this stain, as I did the first year I used the product. I was not applying too thick or too thin, and followed directions on the label as well as from HD associate who had spoken to Behr. I applied using a stain pad for horizontals and verticals as well as a nylon brush for detailed vertical work and between all boards. Requiring so much stain I thought is a complete oversight of the manufacturer's estimates, but given differences in wood type, porosity, and humidity as well as application method I didn't worry too much about it but seemed to be a reddish flag in any case.
>> It could be said we have some of the worst weather for decks here on the east coast of Newfoundland, Canada. Rain, drizzle, and fog throughout the year. Wet snow and rain during winters with freeze / thaw cycles and moderate to high winds not uncommon year round (east coast). UV protection not really a consideration given the low amount of risk here of actually seeing sun for prolonged periods! For example I've been waiting for 3 days of sun/cloud without rain above 10 degC and the next three days (Aug 2-4) is the first time this may happen since this past winter! However, the label clearly shows icons as well as text stating it provides protection in ALL weather.
Part 3 (last part)
>> Now I'm ready to stain again. I removed 95% of the stain from the horizontals using just a pressure washer – came right off. No sanding. No stripper. Just a wide stream of water at about 1200psi. Power washing removed maybe 20-30% from verticals which still had 80-90% full coverage of the original stain – except once again on the wind side. So here I am – do I buy yet more Behr stain to continue this cycle, or spend days stripping and sanding to start over with a new product keeping in mind I still haven't found any locally available stain that lasts more than 1 to 2 years regardless of the wood, prep and application method as long as label directions are followed. This conclusion based on reviews and locals who have used the various competing products. My deck gets used maybe 10 times a year so traffic is not an issue. I'm actually considering using a rubber or similar deck tile right over the horizontals and just stain the verticals. Much more costly up front but perhaps less so in the long run – but it lacks the look of wood. Synthetic wood decking is another alternative but is prohibitively expensive for majority of homeowners, including me, particularly when the existing deck is still in great condition minus the stain. One comment stated the manufacturer's product is rarely at fault when it comes to staining. I think the power of numbers disagrees completely with that statement and the majority of stains available in Canada simply don't work here.
>> BOTTOM LINE: Behr Premium Deck stain with a 6 year deck and 8 year fence warranty falls well short of it's advertised and guaranteed coverage and durability, especially on horizontal surfaces. DO NOT BUY – that said – what's the alternative? And Behr knows that which is why they'll gladly refund or replace the product used but not what it was used on if damaged in the process. As with other companies (including Behr in the past) only a class action lawsuit will remedy this and possibly result in this product (and arguably worse products like deck over) to be removed and at some point better products like Defy and Armstrong may be carried locally. There has to be a chemical formulation that will last a minimum of 3-4 year in Canada that's still acceptable by all regulating bodies. If you find out let us all know! Ordering from the US is simply not a viable option. << Good luck to all.
I applied Behr Premium Semi-Transparent Stain and Sealer to a large multi-level deck. Prior to doing so I meticulously cleaned, stripped and sanded the deck, an enormous amount of time and effort! Although we live in a warm climate I applied the product in the evening when the temperature was not above the mid 80's and the deck was shaded by the house. The finish after 2 weeks is very sticky and I am heart broken, angry and disgusted. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. Since I have a multi-level deck, I had done a two-tone finish where one level was done in a different color with the Behr Premium Solid Color Stain (not DeckOver). Curiously, the solid color stain is much less sticky than the semi-transparent portion and is liveable. Has anybody else experienced this? Can I "save" my deck by putting a third coat of the solid color version of the stain over the semi-transparent version?
Horrible stuff
I agree with the negative reviews. Before reading these I thought perhaps I had done something wrong in my application process. Stain fails in three years or less on flat surfaces, deck railing, that get sun during the day in eastern PA. Shady areas may not need restaining for five years.
I just spent several days and almost 2 GRAND on Cedar planks for my 600 sq. ft. deck. I was told by the incompetent sales rep at "The Home Depot" that the natural #500 weather proofing WILL NOT darken the wood although it did. I do like the pumpkin color after the second coat but it was VERY difficult to work with. DO NOT use a roller for this product..YOU WILL HAVE LAPS !!!! I switched to an applicator pad. After sanding 1/3 of the deck and adding another coat it is obvious there were mistakes made. I am not at all pleased with the Dry time, 1 week later and still tacky.I have foot prints all over and am walking on cardboard boxes…..can you guess what that looks like ? I also noticed where I used the pad after the 1 st coat there are little tiny black specs ( probably mold) forming and the wood is graying already ! WHAT A WASTE OF $$$$ and time !
I with I had read these reviews before we bought this product . I stopped applying the stain halfway through the job , because it looks so awful , my husband is out there doing it the rest alone . The result looks nothing like the sample of wood in the storeroom . It look like watered down paint. The application is splotchy and just plain ugly ! My husband is a general contractor and he will never buy this again ! And yes , it is very tacky ! My porch looks worse than before we started .
Horrible product. In the process of removing it after 1 yr. Coating was patchy and uneven. Peeled off after just 2 months. As bad as it was to try and put on, it's going to be twice as hard to remove. And time consuming.
I just applied Behr transparent cedar on a newly sanded deck. This was the hardest stain I have ever used and it does all those thing wrong that the review says. Dries to quick, looks like paint, shows brush strokes and if a drop hits the deck it is there forever. I did one coat and I'm asking if there is something else that I can use for the second coat. I would be looking for a clear coat. Any help you can give me would be much appreciated. I wish I read the review first.. Thank You
new deck – looks like crap after the 1st year
Its like any other waterproofer/stain, need to prepare deck correctly and and paint with brush, 2 light coats within an hour works for me, about 3 years of good to semi-good looking on floors and 5 to 6 years on rails, I have redone deck 5 times now and if you don't spend time on it and do it in rush, the results will be poor – been there, done that. No sanding ever just the Behr deck stripper, power-wash, Behr wood brightener, power-wash again, let it dry 2 days (a day in full sun is ok) and apply.

Consumer Mood Darkens, but Indicators Brighten
The U.S. economy continues to flash mixed signals, as consumer sentiment turned glummer in June, but a gauge of the economy's short-term trajectory showed the recovery continuing.
The conflicting reports show how the economic recovery, now entering its third year, has struggled in the face of setbacks such as higher gasoline prices and a disappointing job market.
An index of leading economic indicators compiled by the Conference Board, a private research group, increased 0.8% in May, compared with a 0.4% drop in April. The index, an amalgam of indicators designed to show where the economy is headed in the next few months, has recently been volatile, but continues to point toward a slow but continuing recovery.
"Modest economic growth is being buffeted by some strong headwinds, including high gas and food prices, and a soft housing market," said Ken Goldstein, an economist at the Conference Board. "The economy will likely continue to grow through the summer and fall; however, it will be choppy."
The economy's gyrations have weighed on consumers. The Reuters/University of Michigan consumer sentiment index, also released Friday, fell to 71.8 in June, down from 74.3 in May. Consumers' feelings about current economic conditions turned downward, as did their outlook on the future.
Consumers, whose purchases account for about 70% of economic activity, face a variety of challenges. The housing market remains in tatters, and companies, though hiring, are not adding jobs fast enough to bring down the unemployment rate. Meanwhile, higher prices for staples like food and energy have eaten up more of consumers' disposable income.
Underscoring the uneven pace of recovery, the Labor Department reported Friday that 25 states had unemployment rates significantly below the national average of 9.1% in May. Strong growth in the manufacturing sector has brought unemployment down in the Midwest, which together with the Northeast, reported the lowest jobless rates. Many Western states, meanwhile, continue to be battered by the housing bust and jobless rates that exceed the national average.
Compared with a month earlier, unemployment fell in 24 states, rose in 13 and Washington, D.C., and was flat in another 13 states.

HBK replaces Hogan
As many of you already know, Miz was pegged as a replacement for Hulk Hogan on Tough Enough. Now, word has come out that Shawn Michaels has signed on to become the special guest general manager when WWE does a couple of live events in Australia next month. There were rumors that Ric Flair was in line for both gigs, but he could not come to an agreement with the front office.
July 29, 2015
Miz on Tough Enough
When Hulk Hogan was forced to vacate his position as a judge on Tough Enough, fans excitedly speculated on which legend was going to be replacing him. Ric Flair and Bret Hart were the two names that were mentioned the most. However, WWE opted to go in a different direction by simply using Miz in the role. He is a great talker, so he should be able to handle the job just fine.
July 28, 2015
Flair replacing Hogan
Since Hulk Hogan was forced out of the company, WWE needed someone to replace him. They're turning to the other legend backstage. Ric Flair has been pegged as the top candidate for the role. He will likely take over as a judge on Tough Enough this week. Flair is also most likely to replace Hogan when the company tours Australia in a couple of weeks.
July 24, 2015
Tough Enough cast
It appears that WWE has called in some heavy hitters to make up for the loss of Steve Austin on the next season of Tough Enough. Chris Jericho has finally been announced as the host. He will be joined by a panel consisting of Hulk Hogan, Daniel Bryan and Paige. Not only that, the trainers are going to be Booker T, Billy Gunn and Lita. There will be guest appearances made on the show by Vince McMahon, Triple H, Stephanie McMahon and John Cena.

Venue Details
About the Ticket Supplier: San Francisco Opera
A leader among international opera companies for nine decades, San Francisco Opera was founded in 1923 by Gaetano Merola (1881–1953). Merola and his successor as general director, Kurt Herbert Adler, established a formidable institution heralded for its first-rate productions and roster of international opera stars. The landmark War Memorial Opera House has been the Company's home since October 15, 1932.
After Adler's tenure, the Company was led by Terence A. McEwen (1982–1988), Lotfi Mansouri (1988–2001), and Pamela Rosenberg (2001–2005). In January 2006 David Gockley became the Opera's sixth general director after more than 30 years at the helm of Houston Grand Opera. That May, Gockley took opera to the center of the community with a free outdoor simulcast of Puccini's Madama Butterfly. Subsequent simulcasts, including nine at AT&T Park, have collectively drawn nearly 200,000 opera fans. Created in 2007 the Koret-Taube Media Suite has enabled the Company to produce simulcasts and other projects including OperaVision (screens providing HD close-up shots for patrons in balcony seats), the Grand Opera Cinema Series in theaters and performing arts centers, an annual series of KQED telecasts and releases of DVDs and Blu-Rays of recent performances. Regular San Francisco Opera radio broadcasts returned to national and international airwaves in 2007.
Italian conductor Nicola Luisotti, one of the opera world's most exciting conductors, has been music director since the fall of 2009.

Report Card: D
Recap: If the Blazers were in a rebuilding year, perhaps they could take some solace in being a bad goaltending call away from beating that best-in-the-West Thunder, and losing in double overtime to the defending champion Mavericks. But their goals are much more concrete, and unless the game ends with a W, Portland is not content.
Additionally, the only win the Blazers did manage last week was against the Hornets, who, at 4-23, have the worst record in the Western Conference — and New Orleans was within two points of Portland with less than a minute to go.
True, the Blazers were in every game. Despite trailing Houston by 19 points in the second half Wednesday, they rallied to tie the score with in the fourth quarter, but never had the energy to take the lead.
Ultimately, what's killing Portland is inconsistency from both its star and his supporting cast. LaMarcus Aldridge dropped 39 points against Oklahoma City and 33 vs. the Mavericks. But sandwiched in between those games were a 13 and 14-point effort, which may have been part of a hangover from making the All-Star team.
Meanwhile, that consistent No. 2 contributor seems to be world's away for the Blazers, but they'll need to find him if they want to stay competitive.
In Focus
It was not an altogether futile week for the Blazers. After years of disappointment, Aldridge was selected to his first All-Star Game on Thursday and appeared quite ecstatic about the selection.
The 26-year-old forward is averaging 23.3 points and 8.6 rebounds for Portland, but was in so much doubt that he would make the team that he bought a plane ticket to his hometown of Dallas during All-Star weekend.
"I'm going to have to see if I can get that money back," Aldridge said.
Several coaches — including the Thunder's Scott Brooks, the Hornets' Monty Williams and the Nuggets' George Karl — had said that Aldridge earned their vote before the results were released.
By the Numbers
2 — The number of consecutive games Portland has lost at home. Before the small skid, the Blazers were 11-1 at the Rose Garden.
.286 — Portland's winning percentage on the road — the lowest among all teams with a winning record in the league.
53 — Raymond Felton's player efficiency rating — the lowest among point guards in the NBA.

text: So, riding a DF bike I seldom worried much about getting wet when it was raining. I have some Bellweather pants that are sort of an extreme cold weather thing with a wind/waterproof barrier, but I've never had anything for warmer temps. Since mostly it's only your upper thighs that get wet I usually just dealt with rain and being wet. Never bought any rain pants. So, on a bent obviously more of your legs get wet, so I'm wondering if any of you folks have a favorite for rain pants that breath reasonably well and are good for cool to warmish weather.

THE SHORT EXCURSION to Paris did not affect Debussy's feeling toward the Villa Medici. Upon his return he hated it just as much as before. And his letters to Vasnier were replicas of those he had already written him many times -- all of them as if according to the formula he contrived when he first came to Rome. He usually said that he was not going to complain and then did nothing else for the rest of the letter. But as time went on his irritation with Vasnier's sermons became more apparent, although it was always expressed in the most careful terms.
To please Vasnier he let himself "be dragged to the Sistine Chapel, as if to the gallows," and to the museums; he would have appreciated the masterpieces more if they were in Paris, he said. He preferred Raphael Loggias to the large compositions of the School of Athens, and Signorelli "La Résurrection des morts" amazed him, "not merely because the angels in it play trumpets." But he stubbornly maintained that the seduction that the contemplation of a masterpiece produces on the imagination demands an entirely different state of mind than was his at that time.
It was Debussy's nature to be influenced by his surroundings -- he said that Rome crushed him, annihilated him, that he suffocated and was absolutely incapable of shaking off the horrible "numbness" which made him see things in a detestable light. He had worked himself up into such an emotional state that he was afraid he would lose all sense of beauty, and he believed (or at least he

Around the World in 100 Days
Editor's note: Videographer Sonja Stark has embarked on a world tour aboard the MV Explorer to make a documentary about Semester At Sea, a program of the Institute for Shipboard Education. She has checked in with us from Venezuela, Brazil and South Africa; her latest report is from Mauritius.
Why So Few Visitors?
Two percent of the tourists that visit Mauritius Island are American; meaning my 3-day stop with 700 students aboard the MV Explorer just clears the yearly quota. What I can't understand is why so few?
Creole and French are commonly used but English is the official language, so it can't be for lingual reasons. The local rupee currency goes a long long way so it can't be the value of the dollar.
And the island is a paradise oasis perfect for scuba diving, sunbathing and surfing. It's located just east of Madagascar and international flights are common and coming down in price. Seriously, of all the ports so far this one I actually contemplated NOT sharing with GoNomad.
Day 1:
I'm in the thick of the sugar cane fields and banana plantations. The area is called La Riviere des Galets. I'm on my way to St. Felix (Tel: 230-213-4859 or email) to enjoy a day of zip-lines over steep river gorges, waterfalls and lush ravines.
Zip-lines are a growing sport or thrill ride popular in places with scenic views. One end of cable is stretched from one bank to the other while a passenger is harnessed around the waist and attached. With one huge push, the daring soul zips across the divide, legs and arms dangling over a chasm half a mile down and traveling at speeds that top 40 mph.
I can almost hear my father now…"What in God's name would you want to do that for?"
"Because it's fun Dad!"
And I'm not the only adventurous rider; several students, faculty and staff survive 6 out of 11 zip-lines we finish.
Read more GoNOMAD stories about ziplining.
Authentic Mauritian Meal
To settle our stomachs the company prepares us an authentic Mauritian meal of yams, chana pur (spicy dough balls) roti (lentil-flour pancakes) and the aromatic leaves of the carri poule bush.
Creole cooking includes heavy sprinklings of garlic, chili, ginger and curry and it's absolutely delicious. Smoked marlin, pan-fried deer brain and the giant tortoise stew are delicacies too rich for my blood. For dessert we enjoy sweet local pineapples and wild guavas that taste like purple grapes.
Day 2:
An organized tour aptly named "Mystical and Colorful Mauritius" is booked through the Mauritius Tourism Promotion Authority. Our day begins with a stop at a dormant volcano 650 meters above sea level.
During the formation of the island, 600,000 years ago, the volcano left a fertile ground of lush vegetation and plant growth behind. Our tour guide explains the precipitous nature of the island during the months from December to March.
Cyclones with winds up to 200 mph are known to do widespread damage. Champagne Plain, a protected area of dense forest with indigenous timber is said to be the rainiest.
From there we circumnavigate a Hindu temple on Lake Grand Bassin, said to be created with water from the Ganges River. During the Mahashivaratree Festival in February, thousands of Hindus make pilgrimages here to worship Lord Shiva, the Destroyer.
A Marriage of Convenience
The Hindus insist that my camera and I join their pious chanting ceremony, but first they mark my forehead with a small red marriage dot. I'm nowhere near engaged but in a sense I'm married to my work so I guess it works.
Fire, water and sacred lotus petals are used to summon the spiritual world to bring harmony and good fortune to each of us. This is called a puja. Shoes, and especially leather, are not welcome into holy shrines so do as I say and not as I do and remember your talcum foot powder.
Don't Feed the Monkeys
Following our prayers we escape to Piton de la Petite, the highest point on the island that offers spectacular views of a 600-meter (1969 foot) waterfall. Spider monkeys bounce from tree to tree looking for a handout, but as we learned in South Africa, feeding monkeys is strictly forbidden.
Formed by the cooling of molten rock, the Chamarel Cascade or seven-colored earth is an amalgam of rich minerals - oxides and iron-ore deposits. It's interesting to envision the rest of the island, if cleared, as having the same color phenomenon as this small plot of land.
Day 3:
After man arrived it only took 30 years for the Mauritian Dodo to reach extinction in the late 1600s. This plump flightless bird is now seen as an emblem in every gift shop, t-shirt mill and flag on the island. I resist buying Dodo swag and decide to invest in pools of parrot and tropical fish off the coast of Trou aux Biches.
SCUBA is more affordable here than anywhere else on my 10-country itinerary. $30 pays for my fins, snorkel, mask and a 40-minute diving excursion (geocities.com).
We scuba nearly 80 feet down, circling an abandoned shipwreck crowded with colorful barnacles on its hull. I spend several minutes mesmerized by the behavior of a beautiful big-lipped purple fish. It has its favorite guarded spot atop a rusted ventilation shaft and when I reach out it moves away and when I leave it returns exactly to the same spot.
Time to Go Up
My oxygen tank reads empty and my buddy is motioning me to surface but I'm not done interpreting my territorial friend. It's not my decision to stay, though. Within seconds my BCD inflates and I bounce to the surface for air.
Following the dive I linger on the beach for cocktails and a stroll up and down the coastline; finally, a leisurely day away from my normal work routine.
Three days zip by in 3 minutes and before I know it I'm back aboard the M/V Explorer. In 6 days we'll reach Chennai, India where my adventures begin in an overnight stay in a Dalit Village preceded by a day at the Bollywood film studio and wrapping up with daytrip to the "City of a Thousand Temples." Exhaustion at its finest.
