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.

Uganda, Mountains of the Moon, Valley, 1984 - This photograph of a valley in the Ruwenzori shows another, more benign, dimension to this incredible mountain region. Ptolemy (85 AD-165 AD) believed that the source of the Nile was in the Mountains of the Moon, the ancient name for the Ruwenzori. Now, that is no longer believed to be true.
