What a day this has turned out to be!! Just delivered a bucket of chicken to the follow vehicle. Tailwind is so strong my hat’s blowing off.

We apologize for the inconvenience but our GPS is down at the moment. We are doing everything we can to get it back up and running ASAP.

Arvid’s nearing the Coquihalla Summit, after which the miserable weather slows for just a bit. We’re not entirely sure, but we think we saw the sun for a moment. It’s cold (8 degrees), and has been rainy since 6am. The crew has swapped already, and will once again before night. Making good time considering the conditions. Arvid is in good spirits but is wet. Kenyans are hilarious on the side of the road. Cell reception is cruddy. Stats hopefully to be updated soon.

On your right is Paul Smith and on the left is Harry Dahl, the great duo driving the MCF team van!

We apologize for intermittent blog updates. God’s beautiful mountains wreak havoc on our cell signal. Please stay tuned for more information.

Okay film buffs! Name the famous movie that was shot right here in Hope BC!

Charity, Benedict, Mary and John checking out Grandpascan at a lunch break.

Arvid smiling and the Kenyans singing (and our infamous driving/navigating team of Paul and Harry dancing) as Arvid nears Hope BC. Aptly named place for the release of the other Paul’s Hope For the Hopeless!

10 people in one vehicle (not all pictured)… The MCF van is packed full!
