On The Old Highway Maps Of America,

Having Made The Trip From St. Louis To The Pacific Ocean Myself Going Up Up Up Against Twenty-five Hundred Miles Of The Missouri River, I Can Testify That It's One Of The Most Arduous Trips That Anyone Can Make On This Continent And Yet I Had A Power Boat To Do It In.

Be Careful Going In Search Of Adventure - It's Ridiculously Easy To Find.

I Have Not Been On Any River That Has More Of A Distinctive Personality Than Does The Missouri River. It's A River That Immediately Presents To The Traveler, 'i Am A Grandfather Spirit. I Have A Source; I Have A Life.

I Like The Digressive Kind Of Traveling, Where There's Not A Particular, Set, Goal.

Memory Is Each Man's Own Last Measure, And For Some, The Only Achievement.
