Bio:
Occupation:
Retired from life as I knew it 46 months ago.

Background:
last real job was UPS at Philly International Aircraft Fueling and De/Anti-icing... quit after being turned down for family leave, and never looked back.  I have been attempting to explore every nook n cranny of the U.S. of A.  I walked the Appalachian Mountains from 300 miles up in Maine  down to Georgia in 2000-2001.  In 2002 I canoed the upper 1650 miles of the Mississippi River.  I drove to Alaska in 2003 and loved it so much I became a citizen.  2004?, hmm I'm planning to canoe the Missouri River starting western Montana at the headwaters and paddling to the Mississippi River.. turning and going to the Gulf of Mexico...... thereby finishing my unfinished Mississippi trip (about 4000 miles).
