It\u2019s more fantastic than any dream.\u201d\u2015 Ray Bradbury<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>86. \u201cLife is either a daring adventure or nothing.\u201d \u2013 Helen Keller<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>87. \u201cOne of the great things about travel is that you find out how many good, kind people there are.\u201d \u2014 Edith Wharton<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>88. \u201cIf everyone in the world took care of each other the way folks do out on the trail, and if everyone approached each day with as much hope and optimism as hikers do, the world would be a better place.\u201d \u2013 Jon Tullis<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>89. \u201cYou lift your head, you\u2019re on your way, but really just to be walking, to be out of doors. That\u2019s it, that\u2019s all, and you\u2019re there.

The rhythm of nature is more leisurely. The sun comes up, it moves across the sky, and you begin to synchronize to that rhythm.\u201d \u2013 John Mackey<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>91. \u201cThere are a lot of stories out there, waiting for you to live them\u201d &#8211; Unknown<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>92. \u201cScrew the map \u2013 travel and get lost!\u201d &#8211; Unknown<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>93. \u201cThe old school of thought would have you believe that you&#8217;d be a fool to take on nature without arming yourself with every conceivable measure of safety and comfort under the sun. But that isn&#8217;t what being in nature is all about. Rather, it&#8217;s about feeling free, unbounded, shedding the distractions and barriers of our civilization\u2014not bringing them with us.\u201d &#8211; Ryel Kestenbaum<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>94. \u201cWilderness areas are first of all a series of sanctuaries for the primitive arts of wilderness travel, especially canoeing and packing. I suppose some will wish to debate whether it is important to keep these primitive arts alive. I shall not debate it. Either you know it in your bones, or you are very, very old.\u201d \u2015 Aldo Leopold<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>95. \u201cWhy is it that I can&#8217;t be content to live a normal life? Why do I spiral into depression when I am away from the wilderness for too long?\u201d \u2015 Heather Anderson<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>96. \u201cIf you wish to travel far and fast, travel light. Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness, and fears.\u201d \u2014 Glenn Clark<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>97. \u201cHome is where the heart is, and my heart is wherever I am at the moment.\u201d \u2014 Lily Leung<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>98. \u201cWe live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.\u201d \u2014 Jawaharal Nehru<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>99. \u201cIf at some point you don\u2019t ask yourself, \u2018What have I gotten myself into?\u2019 then you\u2019re not doing it right.\u201d \u2014 Roland Gau<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes, when a climb seems too challenging, or it starts to rain during a hike, or you misplace your passport on a backpacking trip, it can be easy to think forget it and give up.
