IMPORTANT NOTE:
After living in the Middle East for the past three
years, I moved back to the U.S. in 2016 and in May,
I began another long road trip around North
America. I'll be traveling for about 8 months
and plan to visit 48 states (sorry Alaska & Hawaii).
And so, after working in the Middle East and saving
up money for the past several years, I've finally
begun traveling and posting stories again!
However, I'm posting the stories on my new travel
website:
www.ExtremeGeographer.com.
During my road trip, I'll be visiting dozens of
extreme geographic locations around the U.S., like
the westernmost point, the highest city, the lowest
point, and the deepest lake. Oh also, the
lowest point in the highest state (in eastern
Colorado) and the highest point in the lowest state
(in northern Delaware) -- lots of crazy places like
that.
Why do I have two websites? To create my
massive DelsJourney site back in 2001, I used web
software called FrontPage -- but FrontPage has
become obsolete. For my new website,
www.ExtremeGeographer.com, I'm using newer and
better web software called Joomla. One of
these days, I'll convert the entire DelsJourney
website to Joomla but for now, I've created two
separate websites. Sorry for the confusion.
But don't worry -- I'll keep my DelsJourney.com site
up for years to come, to describe my travels from
2001-2012. But to read about my new
adventures, please check out
ExtremeGeographer.com.
Thanks!

Greetings and
welcome to DelsJourney. I started this
website in 2001 to describe my solo journeys
around America, New Zealand, Australia, and
beyond. It grew a bit from there as
you can tell, and I hope you enjoy it. |
|
I recently
moved back to the U.S. from Qatar, where I'd
worked for the past 3 years. In May
2016, I embarked on a new road trip around
America. I'm documenting my travels on
my new website:
www.ExtremeGeographer.com. So be
sure to check it out! |

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

In
Latest News, I'll tell you
about some of my recent visits with friends. I explored waterfalls
in the Columbia River Gorge with my niece Christina, went on a Goonies rampage in
Astoria with my friend Mark, and in San Diego I went
swimming with my friend Troy (and a few Great White
Sharks).
Also, I just posted more photos
and stories of my
Around the
World Trip and my updates from Belize, so be sure to check them out. |

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