What got me started?

Greetings!

It wasn't Indiana Jones.  It think it started when I was in Boy Scouts.  There was a magazine which we all got monthly called Boy's Life.  On the back inside cover, there was a storied cartoon about some scouts who traveled back in time to Sparta, and it peaked my curiosity about life long ago.



And then there was Rocky and Bullwinkle's "Peabody's Improbable History" segments, where a boy accompanied his mentor (and Professor) dog back in time to witness some key event, and discover a strange twist.



But it probably flowered when my wife and I began to take annual vacations to the American Southwest and the Yucatan in Mexico.  The Anazasi and Mayan ruins we explored got me really hooked.




This website is dedicated to helping those of us who travel, and who are always looking to find out more about those who lived long ago, more easily view the videos and photo albums taken of those travels.  Each day, we're posting those stories online.  Hopefully, this website will help each of us share and learn from our adventures.
