Best of wishes to you, Mark, on the next leg of your most inspirational journey! . . . Again, thank you for sharing it with us.

Enjoy the next phase, Radioman. Looks like they are getting ready for you over there: Mag 6, 7 and 8 quakes the past few days. Probably just shaking the dust out for ya!

Hey Mark! Jill and I were happy to join you for a small segment of your ride through the Americas. I have just now been catching up on so much that you've done over the past few weeks. It's hard to believe that you are already off to the next continent! We will follow along with you here.

All of our best,
Mike & Jill


PS - the Bolivia and Peru videos you put together are impressive, by the way. And you were kind to conveniently leave out my zero speed set down while turning around in small town Bolivia. Now nobody will know that happened...

Hey Mark, just got caught up again. I have been loving this report, thanks again for sharing it with us, I'm not afraid to admit my screen got a little blurry when you talk about Chris and the life you shared together.
Looking forward to the next chapter in your adventure. Any plans of checking in on the PNW?

Funny (actually is a sad thing) how Cristina is following in Hugo's footsteps and the result on each others economy is the same... Devastating for the "people" they say they protect and want to make it better for.

I agree. For teh Argentinians this is not a good thing at all. I feel bad for them and the Uncertainty of Christina!
