Faith Is On The Move

Jack and Wendy didn’t lose any time in purchasing bike helmets for themselves after Wendy’s tumble yesterday at Garden of the gods! Their journey continues with a few bumps along the way leaving “Faith” (their Motorhome) a little worse for wear!

Jack and Wendy continue to chug along in “Faith”, but she’s struggling! Every time we go over a pothole in the road or up a “ washboard” dirt campground path she suffers! Can she make it to the end of this 3 month adventure? That’s the ultimate question! Faith and “her humans” enjoy a much needed overnight stay beside Chappell Lake in Nebraska before heading on to their final destination of this lap of the journey …spending time with family in Chicago, IL.

Jack and Wendy nearly had their enjoyable e-bike excursion round the Garden of the gods abruptly halted after Wendy got knocked off her bike in a collision with another cyclist! Fortunately, neither of them were terribly hurt, just a little shaken up, plus a few bruises (later on) to show for her tumble. As Jack and Wendy reflected back on the day realizing the cycling accident could have ended so much more serious, they felt such extreme appreciation and gratitude to God for His protection. Now finally they are on the same page that they need to buy helmets ASAP! Credit: Music: www.purple-planet.com

Jack & Wendy are still in search of water to fill up Faith’s parched tank, but experience along the way a taste of the Sahara Desert in Colorado!

Jack bravely crossed the Continental Divide of the famous Wolf Creek Pass in Colorado white-knuckling all the way up and down while Wendy sat quietly biting her nails and praying!

Jack and Wendy are out exploring New Mexico but find themselves on a wild goose chase as they rely on their iPhone apps! Terribly lost, frustrated, cranky, and feeling rather overwhelmed they persevered and eventually found their destination, a little worse for wear, but slightly wiser! Later they were revived by a trip to the Treasure Falls in Colorado. …Yet another life lesson learned! Credit: Music: www.purple-planet.com

We were looking for a place to boondock just outside of Flagstaff before sunset and finally found a spot at the forest preserve called Walnut Canyon just in time! We ventured off the highway and found ourselves in Holbrook, AZ on Route 66 and came across this treasure of a place called Wigwam Motel. A fun place to experience a night sleeping in a Teepee and if you are a car lover you’d enjoy checking out the antique cars intrinsically positioned amongst the petrified wood.
