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, Jeff Shea In Hut Ruwenzori Mountains, 1984 - I rest and dry out my boots high up in the Ruwenzori Mountains.
Uganda, Elephant Sign, 1984 - I have only seen one of these in all my travels, although I suspect there are others someplace: an elephant crossing sign. In the 3rd century B.C., in the time of Hannibal, there are believed to have been tens of millions of elephants. Today there are less than 610,000.
