Certainly not the most weird thing ever done ('weird' was my normal during my early mil years), but about the best experience had as a young person.

Flew a Piper Colt (PA22-108) from New River MCAS, NC to Meadowlark airport in Huntington Beach, Ca. Took 12 days because I was flying by dead reckoning and was taking zig-zag paths around weather systems and had to land in a field at a ranch outside of Lubbock, Tx to fix an oil leak.
