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.

PNG, Oksapmin Man With Penis Gourd And Boy, 1983 - Even as far back as 1983, very few men still wore penis gourds. Most of them wore clothing. Oksapmin was a high mountain place at about 10,000 feet of elevation. In 1983, there was no road there. We walked two days from Lake Kopiago, including traversing the Strickland Gorge, to arrive at Oksapmin.
