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, Unamo, 1983 - On the way to Unamo, Kely and I were abandoned by our guides, partly because she was slow and it was getting dark, maybe because we had not adequately shared our provisions with them, but also because they had broken an unspoken code of ethics. They had our food pack with them. After backtracking to Wabia through remote rain forest, we rested and got new guides. A day later, we arrived at Unamo. Our food packs had been left in the abandoned houses shown in this photograph. That was all there was to Unamo.
