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.

Congo Zaire, Dead Monkeys for Consumption, 1984 - This is a grotesque but realistic photograph of dead monkeys on the Congo River steamboat. Villagers came up in their canoes and sold them to passengers who stored them in the hold of the vessel until we arrived in Kinshasa. A slit was cut in the monkey's tail, then wrapped around its neck, forming a sort of handle. They were then sold in groups.

Of course this is an optical illusion. Jon Muir and I were coming back from Mootwingee National Park in New South Wales. The car is on a pole some distance from his back. Jon is one of Australia\\\'s greatest adventurers. Some time later, Jon did a solo, unassistaed walk across Australia.
