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.

Uganda, Ruwenzori Mountains in Distance, 1984 - This shot was taken from near Ibanda, a village which serves as a portal to the Ruwenzori range (which is shown in the distance). We found guides in Ibanda to take us into the mountains. The guides were not motivated to go to the summit. This was partly, no doubt, because of a lack of equipment. We made it as far as Elena Hut at 4584 meters of elevation, still 535 meters from the summit (Pic Marguerite, at 5119 meters).
