Loving Travel and Dreaming Exotically

Antelope Canyon - MMSikes

Indiana Jones poster from my wall

I've loved to travel for as long as I can remember. I've also enjoyed dreaming about exotic places I would never dare to visit except in my imagination. The sites depicted in the Indiana Jones movies are among those places.

 It's great fun to put adventure into my stories, I've discovered. I can armchair visit some of the more dangerous places I write about.

And I can actually  go to some of the exciting destinations I've heard about such as the Antelope Canyons near Page AZ. Climbing down into those slot canyons and taking unbelievable photographs were true adventures. I was thrilled with my pictures but shocked that a few years ago over a dozen tourists died in the same canyon during a flash flood. The canyon could be part of an adventure story, I think. Looking at the walls was like being in another dimension, like viewing something out of science fiction. I'm glad I traveled there. The site reminded me of the Raiders of the Lost Ark.

I love adventure.
