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.

Dennis Schmitt and I agreed this was the best campsite we'd ever stayed in. Not only was it visually spectacular but it was also the site of a discovery of global significance. This new strait, partially visible in the foreground, was formed by global warming, making the ground that we were camping on, once considered part of the mainland, a new island.
China, Shanghai, Country Girl In Big City, 1995 - June, the young woman in the photograph, hailed from a factory in Anhui Province. She was typical of so many Chinese migrating to the big city to find their calling and their fortune. She was a lovely woman, with a certain innocence and a gorgeous body.
