“Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.”
― Theodore Roosevelt

I actually have the original posts loaded (given the slow nature of TPI), so could repost them if he was okay with it, make it a bit easier for everyone to read them, they're some real gems.

I was going to Woodstock when in college. I was visiting my cousins on Long Island and they had a pool. We saw the traffic jam and stayed by the pool.

i did white water raft on the Deschutes a couple of times with a friend who was a pro river guide and did all those outdoor channels weird and dangerous adventures. She had nothing good to say about flying through Saudi Arabia to get to some river in Kenya. Saw one guy flip out after making it through a Class 4 rapids and had to go away in the special ambulance. Couldn't stop laughing hysterically.
Now I stroll along the nice creeks and canals we have here. Very pretty mild trail systems.
