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.

Namibia, Termite Mound, 2000 - In Africa there are some really huge termite mounds. Finally, in this photograph, I was able to demonstrate just how tall they can become. The top of this termite mound was as high as the telephone wires.
