Photos: Day 2 + 3

Catching up from lack of WiFi and cell coverage, here’s a photo diary of the last couple days.

Arvid?

Moose!

Too many of these signs to count.

Another wet gravel climb.

With the downhill comes a view of the next tough incline.

Photos cannot do this justice. Arvid is amazing.

    See these hills I understand why you feel sea sick .. Amazing scenery glad the moose was there to cheer you on .. By my map looks like getting close to Yukon border .. Maybe Whitehorse a Tim Hortons or McDonalds ?.. great job. If run into more fog you might want to invest in a chip they use for dogs and chip Arvid’s helmet .. That way you won’t loose him ,, I guess problem there is ,,cell or salaite coverage … Also looks like on paved roads as well .. But man I hate big semi trucks at the best of times but wow Arvid and team have them close… Kicking up mud or dust . Wow that’s stamina .. Blessings

    Good news! The site updates itself on your progress a couple of times a minute, so my “refresh” finger isn’t cramping up this time! Following along throughout the day, and praying for you each time.

    Seeing the landscape and diverse conditions in which all of you are currently biking, driving, living together gives us a little glimpse into your current lives. May God surround you in all matters, and may the true purpose of your incredible adventure be near you at all times. Know that you are being remembered often, with love.

    Keep the photos coming! Great to see what it’s really like there, so we can appreciate all of Arvid’s and the crews efforts. Praying for you all often!

  5. Victor Neufeld says:

    The scenery must be easy in the eyes praying that God will give you the endurance to keep them open! Praying for you and your support team.

  6. Meggie says:

    Arvid, your determination and perseverance amaze me all the time. Seeing you alone on those empty roads reminded me of this quote I saw the other day: “Go the extra mile, it’s never crowded.” Your extra miles are an encouragement to many! May God keep you strong and safe! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your crew!

  7. Stan Wiebe says:

    Incredible, just incredible!!! May God continue to grant you energy, enthusiasm, strength and tenacity!!!

  8. Jodi Friesen says:

    Despite the desolate and loneliness of your hour-to-hour, know that there are throngs of us with you in spirit in the minute-to-minute. May the comments and ‘likes’ be an encouragement.

    What a fantastic picture. A great example of Arvid and the crew’s faithfulness in serving God on a quiet highway. Be blessed and encouraged today knowing that we are all cheering you on!
