(Riding into Yellowstone Park causes incredible expectations of natural phenomena.)

(The grandeur of Yellowstone Falls entertains millions of visitors from all over the world. You can see it up close from a viewing deck at the exact spot where the falls rushes over the edge. You can see it from a distance from viewing points. One nice spot shows an osprey nest that's been producing chicks for decades at the top of one of the rock spires projecting from the canyon floor.)

(Thousands sit and wait each hour for Old Faithful to erupt into the sky. My father brought us here when I was 10 years old. Since then, I've seen that geyser erupt over 50 times with visits over the decades. It never gets old. Also, Old Faithful Hotel serves fabulous food. It's a national heritage site built over 100 years ago and has served kings, queens, presidents and monarchs over the years.)

(Take a minute to look back on the Grand Tetons from Oxbow Bend of the Snake River. In the spring and fall, hundreds of thousands of birds drop into the calm waters to refresh and renew themselves for their flights to Canada mating or to South America for winter shelter.)

(Riding off Towogatee Pass under dramatic flat-top mountains that lined the road. We camped across from them. Next day, we pedaled along a braided river carved by glaciers centuries ago. A braided river forms under a glacier and intertwines itself like a snake that crosses over another snake on the way down the canyon.)

"To be truly challenging, a voyage, like a life, must rest on a firm foundation of financial unrest. Otherwise, you are doomed to a routine traverse, the kind known to yachtsmen who play with their boats at sea... "cruising" it is called. Voyaging belongs to seamen, and to the wanderers of the world who cannot, or will not, fit in. If you are contemplating a voyage and you have the means, abandon the venture until your fortunes change. Only then will you know what the sea is all about.

"I've always wanted to sail to the South Seas, but I can't afford it." What these men can't afford is not to go. They are enmeshed in the cancerous discipline of "security." And in the worship of security we fling our lives beneath the wheels of routine - and before we know it our lives are gone.

"What does a man (woman) need - really need? A few pounds of food each day, heat and shelter, six feet to lie down in - and some form of working activity that will yield a sense of accomplishment. That's all - in the material sense, and we know it. But we are brainwashed by our economic system until we end up in a tomb beneath a pyramid of time payments, mortgages, preposterous gadgetry, playthings that divert our attention for the sheer idiocy of the charade.

"The years thunder by, the dreams of youth grow dim where they lie caked in dust on the shelves of patience. Before we know it, the tomb is sealed. Where, then, lies the answer? In choice. which shall it be: bankruptcy of purse or bankruptcy of life? "
