Friends! I really need your help getting across the finish line with raising funds for my mission trip to Panama with The Church of Eleven22.

Awhile back I posted about the ministry partner that we're going to be working with down there, and asked all of you to pray for them, for me, and for our mission team.

I also asked for your support, and I could really use it now. I still need to raise $1400 for this mission trip, and we leave next week.

Please, take some time today, pray for our team heading to Panama - and donate to help our mission team get there.

Everything helps - thank you for being a part of this work we're going to be doing in Panama.

Last week I was up in Alaska for the two starts of the Iditarod - the Ceremonial start in Anchorage, and then the official restart of the race in Willow, where mushers and their teams head out across the frozen Willow Lake and into the Alaskan Wilderness. While I was there I even ran in the famous "Running of the Reindeer" to help raise money for Toys-for-Tots. Check out this new video!

I'm super excited for this trip to Anchorage, Alaska that's coming up in a few weeks - not only to be there for the start(s) of the historic Iditarod dog race, but also because I'm going to be participating in the "Fur Rondy" (Fur Rendezvous) events around it, like the Running of the Reindeer 5k (think running of the bulls in Spain)

If you're not subscribed on YouTube yet, do me a favor and head over there. I appreciate the support, and you're not going to want to miss this one!

The Empire Builder is one of Amtrak's most scenic and historic routes - so I decided to check it out! You should do the same and check out my experience on this bucket list trip by train.

Last year, I fulfilled a bucket list dream by taking Amtrak's Empire Builder train from Chicago to Seattle with my rail-enthusiast father, exploring Amtrak's historical significance in U.S. transportation and its cultural symbolism. Our journey highlights Amtrak’s shift from utilitarian travel to ...

I'm pouring some gas into the tank of the website/blog. It's probably the one area I haven't given the time it deserves in terms of creating travel content - so expect more blog posts from me in 2024.

For now, here's my latest on the Route of the Hiawatha. Enjoy.

The Hiawatha Bike Trail on the Idaho/Montana border offers a 15-mile picturesque and historical cycling experience. Following the path of the historic Milwaukee Road, it features tunnels and trestles offering unique perspectives of the landscape. This Rails-to-Trails initiative seamlessly integrates...
