As a kid, he spun around on many Michigan lakes in his own personalized painted inner tube. He swam in Ocqueoc Falls... went behind Tahquamenon Falls and under Lower Tahquamenon Falls... canoed the AuSable River, even in the winter, as mini icebergs floated along... paddled his kayak to a campsite on the river and watched paddlers in the AuSable River Canoe Marathon race go by... took a raft down multiple white-water rivers in the Eastern and Southern U.S... and hitchhiked to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park a few times in his mid-twenties. Wilks belongs to the Smoky Mountain Hiking Club and the TV Hikers Club. He took up rock climbing and white-water kayaking and became a rock-climbing instructor with an outdoor club called Solar. He paddled and climbed in the Midwest, East, and South United States and also Canada. He took white water kayak lessons and eventually taught some of those classes. He kayaked the Delhi Rapids in Ann Arbor and paddled in the Detroit River into Canada. He also belongs to the Soggy Bottoms kayak club and continues to lead kayaking trips with the club.

The Fifty Falls Challenge was created to help draw visitors away from the High Peaks Region to areas less-visited. While there are numerous waterfalls in the High Peaks Region, many are hard to get to. By good fortune, the majority of the more easily accessible waterfalls and cascades fall outside of the High Peaks. By creating the Fifty Falls Challenge, the hope is that it will help ease some of the strain of overcrowding in the High Peaks; that it will allow hikers to discover other fun and exciting areas of the Adirondacks; and that participants, taking on the challenge, will visit local businesses and help out those economies.
