Adventurers & spirit of life

I am standing besides the 'exact' replica of the boat that Capt. & his team rowed all their way on the Colorado river through the canyon. Just a little ago I watched the NGC documentary on the IMAX and I am blown out about the guts and determination of these guys.

Capt. lost his arm, all others died and none found gold! What did they accomplish in their lives? Was life a fantasy for them? Were they forced into this to keep them alive?

No..no.. adventurers don’t think too much and neither do they plan! They live on every day hope and the sheer excitement of living keeps them going.
