Background
Derek Lindes - Adventurer #1 is an Ohio State Graduate with a B.A. in English and a minor in Film studies. The Denver Odyssey is his attempt to fulfill his dream of seclusion and self-actualization. Not really understanding himself or his actions completely, this is his chance to figure it all out. No girl, father, or job will stop him. Dumping the love of his life is the final step to self-actualization. He has used her long enough as he lived in a world run by society, the evil he must escape. Escaping to Colorado was the finest decision he has yet to make. His woman, holding on for the hope of true love, is there to care for him despite the broken heart she has endured. Not only is she there for backup in case the adventure fails, she is easily manipulated to act just as he wishes until he reaches the point of self-actualization and those he believed to have loved before are no longer in existence. Colorado, where the "real" dreams come true.
Timothy Deniston - Adventurer #2 is also an Ohio State Graduate with a B.A. in History and a minor in Geography. The Denver Odyssey is his first time being west of St. Louis, MO other than a band trip to Los Angeles and Dallas. This is also his first time driving a manual automobile for more than a few miles. His purpose for embarking on this journey is to finally take a road trip, even though he did not squeeze it in while he was an undergraduate student. His other reason is to visit his brother, Steve, who is living in Denver and working for MC Sign Co. He is the main historian, photographer, and guide on the journey, though his position in it is no more, nor less, important than anyone else's.
