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.

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.
