Goatsuckers of the Troposphere
It was still early morning when I began driving south from Phoenix, towards Arizona's international border – lovely in spring, quiet, with serene desert air.  Now here I am, worn out and cruising down the main street of Ajo, Arizona in a rented Ford.

Coconut Train to Cuero Y Salado
I am on the coconut train to La Union. I share the second train car with Germàn, my wilderness guide from the Pico Bonito Lodge. In the daytime, you can see how this old track passes over marshes on rotting bridges and through fields of palms and oxen.

Mud Road to Coyote Buttes
Low clouds move with surreal speed along the cliffs above the Colorado River; they swirl, shapeshift, and from time to time, they seem to disappear altogether. Day will come soon, but until then, the movement of the clouds brings unexpected shapes. Now, a monolith rock emerges from a landscape of slickrock from shifting clouds.

St. Tammany Parish

I write a series of letters to a mysterious pastor over his public support for a documentary that argued for intelligent design. From my perch high up in the Panama jungle, I am better prepared to argue my case that Pastor Paul Viggiano should retract his support for the movie.

Midnight Road to Beringia

I drive slowly along the coast; the Bering Sea is silvery and only tiny waves lap at the sand.  I pass a great stretch of inland water over a narrow bridge, and three locomotives from another age are left to rust in the swaying coastal grasses.

Eyes of the West Indies

I am on a boat, tied to a dock in a bay on the tiny island of Great Guana Cay in the Northern Bahamas.  Troy Albury is untying lines and points out a Caribbean reef squid taking shelter under the dock.

River Civilization

The Oregon Hotel – it’s old, rickety and delightful – and in the geographic center of Oregon, in the smallish town of Mitchell. Weather has me holed up here – snowstorms east, rain west – a good night’s sleep eludes me.

What Creatures will Roam Glen Canyon?

When I stop at a gas station to stretch my legs under a blue sky, I notice some homes, wooden fences and a few trees.  I ask the blonde teenage attendant what town I am.  Her expression and reply made the question feel somehow forbidden.  “Hilsdale,” she mutters, looking away.
