“Part of the urge to explore is a desire to become lost.”

“Just before we entered the gorge, we pulled into an eddy to fix an oarlock and I asked Dave Heckman, our leader, what the village headman had said.
"It was a prayer," he answered casually.
"I heard Pelanjau translate it into Indonesian for you."
"Well...yeah."
"So?"
Dave cleared his throat. "Well... actually... he asked God to accept the souls in heaven of the misguided white people who were going to die in the gorge. Amen.”
