Hmmm... Why people climb the mountains? Why do we hike? Why do we jump out of airplanes? Some do it for the hell of it, others like the rush and others have simply nothign better to do with their time. I agree with you my man on what you said. It is a collosal task but kind of pointless. But I have no right to criticize the guy. It's his life and his quest. Sometimes I just wish to have balls and quit work put my life on hold and go traveling for a year or two instead of doing it two-three weeks at the time.
