Trips #178+ and the continuation of a lifelong journey.
Trips #1 - #50
At 73, I set out to relive a lifetime of journeys. Volume I (1942–1974) captures my first 50 trips across 34 countries—from mountain roads in South America to the fjords of Norway, each memory a step in a life spent discovering the world.
Trips #51 - #101
From ski trails in Wisconsin to mountain roads in Europe, Volume II (1975–1994) captures family journeys, tradition, and discovery—from desert mesas and Hopi rituals to frosty northern adventures. The story of the road continues.
Trips #102 - #135
From wilderness lakes to African savannas, Volume III (1995–2002) follows adventures across America and six countries in Africa—canoeing with family, hiking through swamps, and camping under starlit skies beside curious wildlife.
Trips #136 - #177
Volume IV continues the saga through 2003–2012, a decade marked by loss, remarriage, and shared discoveries. Widowed and then newly married in 2003, these journeys follow my wife and me as we introduce one another to “our” worlds—her first visits across North America and my first steps into the Philippines and a new family.
Traveling by land across the United States lets you see more than destinations—it lets you experience the country in motion. The roads between cities often reveal the quiet towns, open landscapes, and local traditions that flights can never show. With a little planning, patience, and flexibility, a road trip can become one of the most rewarding ways to explore America.
