"Adventure, with all its requisite danger and wildness, is a deeply spiritual longing written into the soul of man. The masculine heart needs a place where nothing is prefabricated, modular, nonfat, zip-locked, franchised, on-line, microwavable. Where there are no deadlines, cell phones or committee meetings. Where there is room for the soul. Where, finally, the geography of the land corresponds with the geography of our heart"                   -John Eldridge (Wild at Heart)
