What national park do you dream of visiting?

I have seaplaned from Key West, Florida; to the infrequented Dry Tortugas, now I must overnight on a vessel seeking tranquil sunsets after the day-trip ship departs and sunrises before the ferry arrives. Also, I will SCUBA dive Channel Islands; California, a pirate's golden cold kelppy dream! I shall return to ALL National Parks, for their passport stamps; collaged on a single tattered North American map, for framing reflections and promoting inspirations thanks to Presidents Grant and Wilson.❤️

What has been your favorite adventure experience?

The Quark expedition to Antarctica, expectations were low being blessed with the Arctic during my beloved Coast Guard career; our vessel was half full and half of those guests were millennials promoting the "Treaty of 2041" (No country can take possession of the frozen continent) on social media, Jacques Cousteau and Ernest Shackleton families were aboard the experience. Priceless data exchange, camaraderie; landscapes and wildlife, simply breathtaking yet challenging to describe and photograph.

What would you do with $10,000?

My first tattoo was in Port Townsend, Washington state; sponsored by the Race to Alaska, now I must sail into Ketchikan crying. I may create a 3rd Place purse nailing $11000 to the backside of the tree (I derailed JJ Dolan's Honolulu pizza eating contest)! Each of YOU ask me for a $2-bill, for every 2 people you invite; and the 2 they invite, etc. But NOW Coast Guard Greg owes his mom $10K for Alaskan cabin and car purchases.
