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.

Bali, Young Dancer, 2006 - There is no question that the refinement and grace of Balinese art and dance is of the highest order. 
Madagascar, Civet, 2003 - On January 24, 2003, I wrote, "We walked to the place where they hold the nocturnal lemur guided tour. A civit about two feet long came of the bush cover. She posed for me as if she was a model. Perfect."
USA, Alaska, Denali, Breaking Camp, 1993 - In 1993 I climbed Denali with Fred Zalokar and Sean Crow, both amazingly fit ultra marathon runners. Of course, they reached the top a day before me! Here, we break camp. You can read about my Denali climb in the Journal section of this website.
