The beloved poem "The Road Not Taken" was the inspiration for the name UntraveledRoad. For most of us, our busy lives dictate so many of our choices and time for many things we would love to pursue is very limited. Often we find ourselves at a junction, wishing we could go both ways, as Frost eloquently described. The 'Untraveled' road represents those too frequent times when we find ourselves pushed along the busy route, only to wonder what lay down the other way. Symbolically it represents a chance to follow some of those routes in a virtual experience.

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth

Then took the other as just as fair
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear
Though as for that, the passing there
Had worn them really about the same

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet, knowing how way leads onto way
I doubted if I should ever come back

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence
Two roads diverged in a wood
And I took the one less traveled by
And that has made all the difference

Robert Frost
