adventure: risky or unexpected undertaking

When you're seeking adventure it doesn't help that the last 500 miles of the West has become a routine. Of course interstates don't really count as adventures. Completely predictable people along with the Gas, Food, Lodging and Rest Areas that are beside them. The scenery that you zip by you can't really touch, because it's behind a fence and endangered is only a hint of what you're missing out on. But when you begin to remember particular rock formations and saguaros it takes on the sensation of driving to work.

But I was thinking about it, where is this adventure? I'm beginning to feel that not very much of it is left in the great wide open, guessing how many miles until the next Wal-mart is not a risky or unexpected undertaking. And with everyone having the same things, the same music, and the same Internet, what is going to be unique and unanticipated beyond the curve in the road? Which leads me to believe that the only real adventures left in the US are in the top major cities like LA and NY. Where all the people that are still seeking adventure flock to.

Scavenger Hunt went amazing

Need I say more? Thanks to the people of Goleta the Goodland, another amazing Saturday afternoon was successfully enjoyed. Can't wait for next year. Will I play? Who knows? I hope that Dan and Ryan will follow through with the expert level, because that's what I want to do!
