Adventure Bound

         It was a long night at work and I'm glad to be home! Trying to relax and unwind, my mind is a little foggy tonight. My mind wants to have a lot of thoughts and run free, but it was a busy day so I haven't had the time and I'm tired. So my mind hasn't been able to run free and just can't seem to focus long enough to have a deep thought.
         Probably the biggest thing bouncing around inside my noggin all day has been Alby Mangels, a long time hero and major influence of mine. I would have to say he has been the biggest influence on my life as far as heroes go. I discovered his series Adventure Bound, I think it may have also been lesser known as Lonely  Heart. It was a show on the Travel Channel (back in the day when the Travel Channel was actually about Travel). Anyway, the show was just an edited version of his films, the most famous being The World Safari series. Most people have never even heard of these, I'm probably one of the very few people in the U.S. to have copies and I got those from Australia.

          What has been on my mind about it tonight is one day Alby just quit his job. Him and his buddy jumped on their motorcycles, $200 in their pocket and a camera. This was how the first World Safari film started, how Alby spending the rest of his life traveling and adventuring started. Sure there were bumps along the way, just part of the adventure. 

           For the last week I've been at this close your eyes and leap point.....
