What national park do you dream of visiting?

Oh my, all of them! Glacier, Yellowstone and Grand Teton in the West; and Acadia in the Northeast. Alaskan parks must be amazing too! The Northen lights…!!

What has been your favorite adventure experience?

I have amazing adventures on my own, all over the world! Favorites include finding gold on the ocean floor, encountering “stone age” tribe in the Sea of Japan (a hoax pulled on National Geographic) and 42 days camping in the Southwest! One of my faves was getting kicked out of college, friends in Montauk, worked as a maid in several different hotels for a summer! Adventure culminated in crashing a Kennedy wedding reception in S Hampton, being fired and moving into Manhattan for 3 years! Antics

What would you do with $10,000?

I’d put in motion one of a few amazing adventures I have “for fun” planned for years!! Would also use some time on any adventure to write about visualization and manifestation of particular, far out, and dreamed of experiences! Visualization matters!!!!
