"God bless America!" -Donna

According to AOL News, former Baywatch beauty Donna D’Errico is on a mission from God. Forty-something D’Errico, who recently took a twirl on Dancing with the Stars, is currently training to climb Mt. Ararat in search of Noah’s Ark.

It’s still unclear whether she’ll be carrying her buoys along for the excursion. But if they do tag along, no doubt they’ll come two by two.

According to AOL…

D’Errico, 42, is in training to fulfill a lifelong dream of climbing Mount Ararat in Turkey to search for the frozen remains of Noah’s ark.

"Noah would have had NOTHING to worry about if I'd been on board! And Ham, Shem, and Japheth would have enjoyed having me tag along, especially since I would have had my bouys with me in case somebody fell overboard! These babies are life savers!!!!" -Donna

According to Biblical legend, the ark was built centuries ago to protect Noah’s family and two of every kind of animal during a flood lasting 40 days and 40 nights.

After the great flood, the ark supposedly landed atop the mountain. Many believers have been looking for the remains ever since.

D’Errico is the next explorer who hopes to make what would be one of the greatest discoveries in human history.

“This has been a dream of mine since I was 9 or 10,” D’Errico told AOL News. “I went to Catholic school and was fascinated by Noah’s ark. I would do class projects based on the ark…

“I’d read different stories about how people thought they found the cages and I was completely intrigued,” she said. “I decided that someday I’d go to Turkey, climb Mount Ararat and search for Noah’s ark.”

I think Donna should take Pamela Anderson along with her! And TLC should create a reality series about the trip…
