Quite an adventurer.

How many of us had similar thoughts when we were 9 or 10 but most have never taken our adventure past the local marsh or mountain. In my case it was Alaska and a homestead. I carried that dream until my 30's - I still haven't made it to Alaska but I haven't crossed it off the list yet either!!
