adventure

Everyone has a different threshold for “adventure,” and the spectrum of what we might consider adventurous is without end. The Pilgrim sense of adventure exists somewhere between (mis)adventure, a grand purpose (or an absurd feat), “one” more beer, at least one great mishap, and the occasional false summit. It’s all part of the journey? From pioneering the Pacific Crest Trail (in one of the first thru-hiker’s own words) and summiting Kilimanjaro to almost dropping acid with old scholars at an English dinner party and being charged by a rhino in the jungles of Nepal, we’ve got real good stories comin’ your way. Whichever kind of adventure you prefer, there’s a broad range to be found here.
