Serving the medical and educational needs of the rural poor as ambassadors of Jesus
It has been a busy six weeks but I’ll try to catch you up some. After visiting the butterflies we made our way to the historic city of Huachinango (pronounced: WoW-Chi-Nain-Go, this is an Aztec word and speaking Spanish doesn’t help a bit) in Mexico. We chose this destination because they would be celebrating The …
We enjoyed an entire week exploring the city of La Paz and nearby beaches in southern Baja California. Our visit coincided, not by coincidence, with the celebration of ‘carneval’ (think, Mardi Gras…except don’t think anything risque because this was a totally family friendly event). We enjoyed multiple parades, interesting floats, talented dancers and bands, and …

As we headed south of San Felipe along the Sea of Cortez we were continually amazed at the amount of flower blooms all across the desert landscape. The road (Mexico Hwy 5) was also amazing, right up until we reached our first ‘out of order’ bridge. Fortunately, we were expecting this! Having been advised by …
The last six weeks has been filled with family, friends, and festivities! As I was perusing the pictures I lost count of the number of photos of us in front of Christmas trees :). We started our holidays with Hannah and Doug, who hosted lavishly in spite of being under the weather. Hannah and Sharon …
We have made it back to the US and our trip has slowed down quite a bit as we are enjoying wonderful reunions with family and friends, as well as, repairing and preparing the motorcycles for the many miles still to come. This schedule will continue until the end of January when we plan to …
We had a great time in Dawson City with our host Melodie and her friends. This historic gold rush mining town still has all dirt streets and wooden sidewalks to keep pedestrians clean when the dirt turns into mud. Sharon spent lots of time delving into the history and I (Chris) spent my time working …
The Dempster Highway…We had been hearing stories from motorcyclists about ‘The Dempster’ since before we entered Canada over three months ago. Stories of muddy roads, slick clay, snow in the summer, crashed bikes, and ruined trips. And other stories of beautiful scenery, amazing wildlife, and an epic unpaved road for adventure motorcyclists. Here is our …
After the Kenai Peninsula we had planned to head to the Valdez area, however, we met so many travelers who told us we had to go to a town called McCarthy and see the Kenicott Mining historical park, we went there instead. They were right, it is a place not to be missed! The 73 …
After we left Denali National Park we drove to the town of Talkeetna and visited the Denali Mountaineering Center. This is where all climbers must go who want to attempt to summit Mt. Denali. We found a few interesting facts: only about half the climbers are able to summit because the weather can be very …

We hope this update finds you doing well! We are currently in Dawson City in the Yukon. We are drying out from a monsoon type rain storm that completely drenched us yesterday. Bad for off-road riding; good for catching up on blogs. Just a heads up, if you had not noticed already, we have very …
