The Wandering Pen describes places I've traveled to and what is interesting about those places. There is also a piece on this page that explains how to become a travel writer.
The Iditarod Alaska Race has held my attention for many years. I admire the perserverence of the racers and the love they show to their team of dogs. The Iditarod is called "The Last Great Race". Mushers and their team run through some of the most difficult terrain in remote areas of Alaska. The race unofficially begins in Anchorage and ends in Nome. Total miles ran within 14 days is over 1000 miles.

Passion for History is a part of this website because it is a hot topic with me. I am a firm believer that if [as a society] we do not know our own family history or the history of the country in which we live than it's difficult to understand who we are. This page explains why studing history is important and shares links to websites of historical interests. Here you will also find photos of Inspiration & Travel, information on the Susquehannock Indians, website on Social Studies/Tolerance of Diverse Cultures, and information on the Clepper & Musser family. There is also the Clepper family tree and the Musser family tree.
