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.

PNG, Rain On Sepik, 1983 - Before leaving Frieda Strip, we found an old tarpulin, which we erected to give us shelter from sun and rain. When it rained, the level of the river rose dramatically. Here is a view from our raft as it floats downriver during a downpour. Part of the raft structure is visible.
