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.

Ecuador, Train On Switchbacks Above Station, 1979 - This is a view from the top of the steam train that runs from Guayaquil to Riobamba in Ecuador. At this point, the train was climbing the cliff directly above the station, doing so by means of switchbacks. The train would go forward, then in reverse it would go to the other side of the cliff, and so on until it reached the top!! (110 film resurrected)

Tanzania, Kilimanjaro Mawenzi Peak, 1984 - Opposite Uhuru Peak on Mt. Kilimanjaro is Mawenzi Peak, the second highest peak on the Kilimanjaro Massif. Mawenzi and Uhuru are divided by a huge saddle. Here I look back at Mawenzi while beginning up Uhuru Peak. Kilimanjaro is a great mountain to climb, both for its scenic beauty, the thrill of going to almost 20,000 feet, the location in Central Africa, and the climate changes from jungle to alpine meadow and past the tree line. In the vicinity are some of the greatest game parks in the world. If you're looking for some place cool to go....
