Welcome to DelsJourney! My name is Del
Leu and I
started this website in 2001 to describe my
travels around the U.S. and the world.
I kept posting stories here until 2012, when
I created a new travel website,
ExtremeGeographer.com. But I've
kept DelsJourney.com up because, gosh, it's
so darn interesting!

I worked in Qatar (in the Middle East)
for three years doing computer mapping, then
in March 2016, I moved back to the U.S.
I embarked on an eight-month road trip around
America, which I described on my new travel
website, and afterwards I returned to my
home in Portland, Oregon. And that's
where I am now! |
|
During the
last year, my website's three most visited
pages have been:
1.
The Best
and Worst Places in America
2.
The Battle of the Coral Sea
3.
Schuyler: The Real Walton's Mountain

As I mentioned, I worked in Qatar
for three years, then in 2016 I returned to
the U.S. and took an eight-month, 32,000-mile road trip around the U.S.
During my trip, I
became the first person (I believe) to visit all 16
extreme geographic compass points of the contiguous
United States. I also visited dozens
of other extreme geographic places, like the
highest point in the lowest state (and the lowest point in the highest state).
I described my
travels on my new travel website,
ExtremeGeographer.com. So if
you want to read about my recent adventures,
check out my new site! |

Two roads diverged in the wood, and I -- I took the
one less traveled by. And that has made all
the difference.
