T-minus 48 hours!

Just 5 days to go,  Kurt flys in tomorrow night.  All my belongings are packed for the move.  All clothes and articles are lined up packing in the panniers.  Don't miss work at all

6 days until Chicago, 9 days until Ecuador!

Here's our first of many weekly video-blogs! The video-quality will be a lot better when we begin our journey as we'll be using a professional camera and microphone :)

Donations reach $4835.00!

With 11 days until we start our journey, we have raised $4835.  This is almost half our goal!!  We are so Humbled and Grateful to All who have been a part of our dream.

God Bless You,
Scott and Kurt

First Post!

Hey, Kurt here! I am finally back in the portland-area ordering last-minute tools, clothes, etc online and making a big, heavy pile of everything that will make up our "home" for the rest of the year... We have all the big-ticket items except for our abominably expensive spare tires and other small items like postcard stamps, bungie cords, medications, etc. 

Our to-do list is long with things like calling embassies, obtaining travel insurance, getting last-minute vaccines, and replacing cables/pads on the bikes, but we're making serious headway! 

We are departing in 3 WEEKS! For those of you who have thought about donating to our incredible cause of building a well in rural Africa but have not yet pulled the trigger, please consider it! We are getting close to $4000, which would be fantastic to hit by the time we depart May 1st!

Remember to spread the word!
