This website illuminates my life and adventures. My longing for freedom has led me to over 2450 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.

Chad, Structure On The Way To Bol, 1990 - I made it from Ndjamena to the "shore" of Lake Chad. I reached Bol and then went on to Baga Sola. I rode in the back of a truck in the midday heat after riding through the night. I developed heat exhaustion in Baga Sola. My urine turned orange - but it was not hepatitis. I was so far gone, I laid down on the floor in front of a bar. I had to get out of there, but it was a long way to Ndjamena. Fortunately, some people in a good 4 WD picked me up and we raced along, arriving in Ndjamena at night. I was ordered to go to the police by a man wearing a long robe. He showed me his gun, which alarmed me. This was the onhy country I'd ever tampered with a document - I changed the date on my visa from a year before to the present day. I worried a great deal, but it was only a routine visit.... This structure was on the \\\\\\\"road.\\\\\\\" The road was no more than tire tracks in the desert.

Greenland, Warming Island, off coast of Liverpool Land, Peak of SW Finger, Broken Glacier and New Strait, 2006 - This is an aerial shot showing the three Pinnacles in the foreground. The mountain in the center left is the high point of the south-westerly finger, and the pyramid sticking out of the clouds to the right is the tip of the middle finger. The crevassed glacier falls to the sea. The top of the glacier at the base of the SW finger is where we made our camp for six nights.
