The real voyage of discovery consists not of seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes….
-Marcel Proust

One secures the gold of spirit when he finds himself.
-Claude M. Bristol

Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.
-John Homer Miller

No matter what the level of your ability, you have more potential then you can ever develop in a lifetime.
-James T. McCay

Few men during their lifetime come anywhere near exhausting the resources dwelling within them. There are deep wells of strength that are never used.
-Richard E. Byrd

There are those of us who are always about to live. We are waiting until things change, until there is more time, until we are less tired, until we get a promotion, until we settle down – until, until, until. It always seems as if there is some major event that must occur in our lives before we begin living.
-George Sheehan

There’s no feeling quite like the one you get when you get to the truth: You’re the captain of the ship called you. You’re setting the course, the speed and you’re out there on the bridge, steering.
-Carl Frederick

Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common then unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
-Calvin Coolidge

The worst thing one can do is not to try, to be aware of what one wants and not to give in to it, to spend years in silent hurt wondering if something could have materialized – and never knowing.
-David Viscott

This above all: to thine own self be true.
-William Shakespeare

The sound issue for the videos has been fixed! so you’ll have nothing but high quality sound and video from now on! We were able to stop in a little city and get the issue resolved. We’ve also now equipped Rod with a voice recorder so while he’s on the road walking he can record his thoughts and we’ll be posting those directly to the website!…

The website is being updated all today and tomorrow, so we’ll have a lot more content, the image gallery will be started, more videos, more ways you can help us and even join us on this adventure!! We’re going to have a map so you can track our progress, find out where we are and hopefully come on out, join us, enjoy the campfire with us, sing, and just love life.

A big thanks to everyone who has helped and supported us along the way, from everyone on Queen Street, to our friends, families and loved ones. Everyone we’ve met on the road who’s just had encouraging words, given us a place to stay and edit… thank you.

A Message From Mike:

Hey everyone, I just wanted to leave a message here to thank everyone who came out to the fundraiser, and just everyone in general who’s really shown their love and support during the process of getting this adventure underway……

I can’t speak for anyone but myself but I think it’s pretty safe to say that everyone involved in the project is really feeling the love and support and well wishes that everyone’s sending.

Personally for me in the last little while, I’ve been blessed enough to really experience something beautiful and I’m so thankful that I’m getting to participate in this… I’ve had complete strangers really open up their hearts and share some truly unbelievable things and I can’t wait to meet all the people along the way and to meet you!

So keep checking back, we’re going to get a small map on the website so you can find out where we are and where we going to be… come out and say hi, or at the very least send us an email on the contact page or drop some comments!!
