General Discussion / What really is Adventure?

« on: September 28, 2004, 02:11:17 pm »

Adventure for me is not knowing what is around the next corner. I have spent a night in jial outside of hanoi because I missed a turn, and that was adventure. I have cycled across the Namibian desert with a real question as to whether I would reach a town before nightfall. That was adventure. I have cycled to known destinations in North America on many occasions and they were great scenic rides, but none of them could ever be called an adventure.
No give me a dusty cartpath in a thirld world country with mystery meats as my nutritional reward and I am as happy as a clam!
