Day 330 -A beautiful day as I crossed into New Mexico from Texas. A lot to choose from with the 15 hour drive today, but I think it turned out just fine. -August 1

Day 316
Day 316 -Well after six and a half months in Africa my time is up. I’ve made a lot of great friends, did a lot of work that I’m very proud of, and hopefully left things better than I found them. You may recognize this shot if you’re my age or a little older from […]
Day 313
Day 313 -This photo was six months in the making as my buddy Jon Ladue ran his 200th mile here in Africa with little time to spare before leaving. I ran the last mile with hime, but you probably notice I had to get there first to take the photo. I’m proud of you buddy. […]
Day 258
Day 258 -The final approach into DJibouti. Africa is quite a different than Italy to say the least. It was over 100 and let’s just say the standards in airport restrooms aren’t quite the same. Aren’t you glad I didn’t post that photo? -MAY 21
Day 248
Day 248 -This was a big day for me as I embarked on aerial photography. One of those little specs down there is me and I was still able to take this photo. It was quite exciting. More to come in the later months. -MAY 11

Day 203
Day 203 -Most of the water from the flood has gone away and the mud is drying up and made for an interesting shop as the sun was coming up. So much so, that I saw it on my way back from the shower and had to come back with my camera. I’m usually not […]
Day 199
Day 199 -I walked outside mid morning to find, what we call in Africa, a significant amount of precipitation. On my way to the shower earlier I felt a mist for about 15 seconds. I would describe my emotion similar to that of a heavy snowfall on a Christmas day. I just looked to the […]
Day 184
Day 184 -Another great day in Africa. I went on a reflective walk as part of observance of Lent with the chaplains and local Christians in the real deal African desert. It was great time to reflect and wonder the desert like the mighty JC did. I was walking out there when Jason Gray reminded […]
