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.

Here you can see the path across the glacier, veering to the right at the fork. The left fork went to our waterhole. A quick blow of the ice ax and running water could be found, having been discovered by John Rudolph and his son John Collins Rudolph.

Nepal, Blue Masked Dancer, 1983 - In addition to serious Buddhist religious ceremonies, the monks during Mani Rimdu also wore fantastic costumes, coming down the stairs of the old monastery and dancing in the flat courtyard. I noted the repeated use of the skull motif.
