    While waiting for our new alternator at Cummings Northwest we were woken up (Sept,28 3am) by our 13yr old's labored breathing. We tried albuteral spray to clear her lungs so she could breathe with no apparent success. So it was time to do a emergency pack up and head to the nearest hospital. Her...

    Thanks for the comment! I agree with you that having issues is not fun. The way we wrap our minds around our many challenges is we look at it as part of earning our right to be on the trip.

    Sadly I haven't gotten into my kayak since. I'm near the McKenzie river outside Eugene Oregon, hoping to get my mojo back. We are broken down with alternator issues, what a great time to take a break and get in the water. Parts are a week away so I have no excuse.
