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.

Tanzania, Richard McGill with Hypothermia on Mt. K, 1984 - Richard McGill from the UK, Gabrielle from New Zealand and I strolled up Mt. Kilimanjaro in Africa. Gabrielle stopped at Gilman Peak while Richard and I went on to the summit at Uhuru Peak. Here, Richard suffers from hypothermia. In the book at the top, Richard wrote the following inscription, "?A Rootin Stootin Tootin reet Stootir, though a bit of a weed at times?nearly died too!."
