Adventure Inspirations – What Is Adventure?
“What is adventure? If a lone wolf
lifts his plaintive call into the moonlight near your campsite, you might call
that adventure. While you’re sweating like a horse on a climb over a 12,000
foot pass, that could be adventure. When howling head winds press your lips
against your teeth, you face a mighty struggle. When your pack grows heavy on
your shoulders as your climb a 14,000 foot peak, you feel the adventure. When
you suffer freezing temperatures and 20 inches of fresh powder on a hut to hut
trip in the Rockies, that could be called adventure. But that’s not what makes
an adventure. It’s your willingness to conquer it, and to present yourself at
the doorstep of nature. That creates the experience. No more greater joy can
come from life than to live inside a moment of adventure. It is the uncommon
wilderness experience that gives your life expectation.”
