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.

Greenland, Warming Island, off coast of Liverpool Land, Warming Island, 2006 - This aerial photograph has an inset map that explains the geography. The arrow matches with the glacier on Warming Island. The protruding glacier in the foreground is part of Liverpool Land on the island of Greenland. The peak labeled N 71 degrees 28.294 minutes by W 021 degrees 51.620 minutes was climbed by our group on Sept 10, 2006. We used two GPSs to record the coordinates and the height at 1620 feet. The map shows it at 490 meters, or 1607 feet. The tabular iceberg in the right foreground is probably broken away from the glacier in the foreground. The iceberg calved on a daily basis.
