The Blue Monkey

The Blue Monkey

Blue Monkey small The “Blue Monkey” embodies the spirit of Adventure Trekkers and the MMBA. These people have demonstrated a lust for life and a desire to go beyond the artificial barriers placed before them. The people on the list below are unique and fascinating people who have learned that life is theirs for the taking. Each year we honor all “Blue Monkey’s” by selecting from our guests the next person who demonstrates their ability to write their own life story. It might surprise you to know what we believe qualifies you to become a “Blue Monkey”. This is not about testosterone or physical fitness or mountain bike prowess. This is about YOU Living YOUR LIFE !
