This website illuminates my life and adventures. My longing for freedom has led me to over 2600 of the world’s 3978 provinces, to every country on earth and to the summit of the highest peak on each continent (thank heaven for good weather!). In my travels, I learned to respect the intelligence and ingenuity of people of all races and callings both past and present. Come see the world as I see it: as a peaceful place, full of nature and beauty. With the right spirit and intent, we can make our world a virtual Garden of Eden.

Antarctica, Patriot Hills Base Camp in Foreground of Mountains, 2001 - This photograph is best viewed enlarged. The area in the foreground that could be mistaken for rocks is actually the entire Patriot Hills base camp for Adventure Network's arrivals in Antarctica. In the far distance is a mountain range. The photograph is taken from the top of Patriot Hills. In the far right foreground is an aircraft, the one used to make special jaunts to places like Mt. Vinson base camp. (This is not the Hercules aircraft used to transport people from Chile to Antarctica.) Just above the camp is a faint line, indicating the ski tracks of the airplane as it landed.
