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.

Seram, Kanikeh Man And Mount Binaya, 2006 - If you went to Kanikeh, the people there wear normal clothing. This man put on a chawat to show me the original dress. I did not understand whether the headdress was of his own making or whether it was part of a community custom.

USA, Alaska, Denali Night Walk, 1993 - On our last night on our Mount Denali climb, Fred Zalokar, Sean Crom and I walked all night to get back to the landing strip on the glacier. Here we traverse frozen, crevasse-ridden fields under the moonlight.
