If I learned anything hiking for 3 months it's this: people are the adventure. After a time you're climbing endless identical mountains in a string of endless identical steps, exciting adventures having given way to mundane chores. To create adventure then, you have to up the stakes. But inside a human, any human, is a well of mystery that does not run dry.
