Childress had/has the opportunity and desire to meet the mysteries of our world (and of world's beyond) straight on, wanting the experiences to permeate his being of near insatiable curiosity. How can one separate oneself's personal diary of day to day events from the awsome megalithic walls, wide open ocean and the many other events which are part and parcel of one's adventures of discovery? Be glad here is a man with prolific writing skills, who enjoys travelling the world over, without getting killed, to share with us great true stories of awsome adventure. In fact, it is the inclusion of his personal trials in dealing with the many obstacles, as well as the many friendships that developed, which makes his books so very appealing. There is no shortage of interesting and little known facts regarding the sites he visits.
