The Journey is The Destination

Welcome to my website. Thank you for visiting.

Adventures Across America is my Love Letter to America. I hope it inspires readers to explore the highways, byways, and riverways of our amazing country.

Step back in time and walk in the footsteps of Lewis and Clark, visiting recreated forts, keelboats, interpretive centers, Native American Reservations and state parks devoted to the explorers. Their exciting story of challenge and adventure is woven into my discoveries as I follow their trail over 200 years later.
Join me as I meet interesting local residents and discover off the trail delights such as Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks, Mount Rushmore, quirky museums, beautiful rivers, barges and boats navigating the locks on the Mississippi, Snake and Columbia Rivers and breathtaking scenery. Over 150 photographs enhance the narrative. The explorers' trip across the Louisiana Territory, following the Missouri River to western Montana, and then over the Rockies to the Pacific Ocean and back from 1804-06 was equivalent to our first trip to the moon. They knew nothing about what was in store for them and had to pack all supplies they would need. It's a fascinating adventure. The book is available in two editions: black & white or color from Barnesandnoble.com; and black & white only from Amazon.com The next pages will tell you a little about me and contain some photos from the trip. Happy traveling! |
