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.

Argentina, Aconcagua And Base Camp, 1993 - The base camp and mountain are picturesque in the afternoon sun. This site is reachable after a 25-mile hike up the Horcones Valley. It was two days and a night up and a full day's walk on the way back.
