Author Gib Check takes readers on an armchair tour of the world, providing personal touches as he and his wife, Ruth, unearth - for better or for worse - the many curiosities of cities and countrysides both near and far. In this collected volume of his published newspaper columns, Gib and Ruth:

Discover new friendships in Tuscany
Dig for diamonds in an Arkansas field
Hike into the Grand Canyon
Face off bison on a South Dakota highway
Spend a night with museum dinosaurs

There's no end to the adventures, fun, and insights Gib and Ruth find in their many travels!

Retired from house-painting and now strictly a writer, Gib Check's travel pieces and humor columns have appeared in the Wisconsin Rapids Daily Tribune and the Adams-Friendship Times-Reporter. In 2004, he graduated from UW-Stevens Point in with a Bachelor of Science degree in General Studies at the age of 62. These days, he resides with his wife Ruthie on a lake in north-central Wisconsin.
