As Paul said, it's still out there. I was brought up differently than most of my generation. I respect you greatly for your experiences and your insights. I too have hitch hiked cross country, it definitely takes a lot of patience, a lot more than my father says it used to. I now have a baby on the way, and feel the world encroaching, almost painfully, but it's just another step, one that many of us make.
Climbing is to me, what a pace-maker is to a heart disease patient. It defines me, I need it to survive. And the sad thing is that I only just recently realized this.
I am easily less than half your age, yet I still lived on in the same vein. We are still out there. Even though I have to live differently now, and can't live on ten dollars a week and live in a tent for a year, I will be raising my daughter to realize, and recognize, that it is a big beautiful world out there, and it's her's to see, her's to have run of, her's to do as she sees fit in. I will raise her to know these stories, these beautiful tales that will be told around my campfire till the day I die.
And believe me, there will always be a fire.
-Bobby
