What would you do if you were given the opportunity to go on an adventure? You'd probably take it- I know we would. But what if you had to throw whatever plans you had out the window to take that adventure right then and there?
Would you still do it?
The North Face asked this question to many individuals who fatefully entered their #seeforyourself taxi on a day just like any other in New York City.
What do you think they did?

Watch the video clip below presented by The North Face to see the kind of adventures a few unsuspecting New Yorkers got themselves into.
Can This Happen To Us, Please?
Ever since the TV show Cash Cab came on, I've always had a secret desire to be picked up by a taxi that would take me on an adventure (or give me money, I'm not picky). We've been on hundreds of adventures all over the world, but they've all been somewhat planned in advance. One thing we've never had the opportunity to experience is an opportunity like this where a chance meeting turns into something incredible that we had no expectations of what-so-ever.
When I first watched the video, I was a bit confused. I had no idea there were so many amazing nature/adventure activities located so close to New York City. Upon a second viewing I started to notice some scenes from out west, and realized that one lucky passenger ended up on a 2,000 mile ride out to Utah (okay, maybe they weren't that lucky because 2,000 miles in a cab sounds miserable).
In nearly every case, those who went out on the cab ride had to give up something from their daily routine to go on an adventure be it a date, day in the office, or any number of other commitments.
We know that we would do it if given the opportunity, but we want to ask you. Would you do it to #seeforyourself?
