Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow & The Next Day

You may know that I’ve started to make my way home to Beverly, MA. I don’t plan on doing any more out reach on the way home but you never know who I will run into. I still have some stuff in my Jeep. The first few photos where taken in the Ozark National Park in Arkansas where I stayed Sunday night. There is an image of my Jeep on the Peel Ferry crossing the White River making my way North to Missouri.The rest of the photos were taken in the Mark Twain National Forest in Missouri where I stayed last night. I highly recommend the Glade Top Trail. It goes along several mountain tops in the Mark Twain National Forest about 1,200-1,400 feet up. The road itself is just gravel/dirt and not technical at all but views on both sides are absolutely gorgeous. There are dozens and dozens side trails and no gates! And some of the stuff is pretty challenging. I turned around on a few of them because I don’t have a winch, by myself and I’m all stocked. I could literally spend a week or two just in this area alone exploring. Tonight I will either stay in the Burden Falls Wilderness (MO) or Wayne National Forest (OH). I plan on making it home by Friday or Saturday.  Oh I swapped out my back up






















out camera last night and it’s working again! I really missed it and it could’ve really used turning around some of those trails yesterday. But the front camera was very helpful yesterday too. Video next week.

Mission Accomplished!

  Yesterday I arrived in Dar Salaam, Tanzania and last night the car rental agency picked up the Land Cruiser. I’m not going to lie, it was a great relief when they picked it up. I didn’t post all the issues I had with the Land Cruiser, but they included replacing the clutch twice, replacing both batteries, thr spare tire rim and various issues with the electrical system, stove, bulbs, door latches, windows and tire leaks.  Although I spent a lot of time working on repairs of the Land Cruiser, I couldn’t imagine doing the trip in any other vehicle because of the very poor roads in Kenya and Tanzania. The Land Cruiser was an absolute beast, everybody knows how to fix them and parts are readily available. In 28 days, I drove 9,924 km, visited 7 churches, 5 wells, 3 schools, 2 orphanages, 1 clinic and gave out 200 storybook bibles. (Although, 13 of the storybook bibles were given to 8 Tanzanian Police Officers instead of the cash they requested.) I also shared a message at 3 churches.  To

My route so far in Africa

Image
This if my route so far in Kenya and Tanzania. Right now I’m in the southwest part of Tanzania where the gold arrow is. I’m heading east to Dar Saalem this week.  My Garmin stopped working a few days after I arrived in Kenya a few weeks ago. I’m using Gaia and it’s not my favorite for tracking and definitely not very useful in Kenya and Tanzania for finding places to camp. As usual, iOverlander has been very, very helpful to find places to stay and camp.  Haven’t done much camping because of my schedule, but hope to do a lot in the 10 days, along with some game drives.  Here is a link to my route on Gaia, which I’m trying to update every day.  https://www.gaiagps.com/public/Sq8hKEcr0mgMREGqWaTZeoeX

Yesterday was our last outreach to help the homeless. Over the last 300 days and over 28,000 miles, Mission For Hope & Christian Jeep Association has given out thousands of blankets, hygiene kits and Bibles along with lots of clothing, food, water and prayers in cities across the United States & Canada.  THANK YOU to all the people who encouraged, supported and prayed for me the last 300 days. Thank you Beantown Blankets for donating thousands of blankets and shipping them into all the cities.  Next… Tuesday I fly to Kenya for month to help the children in Kenya and Tanzania get better access to clean water, healthcare and education.  Three days after I get back from Africa I leave on a 5 month trip in my Jeep to 10 states to attend 18 Jeep events that the Christian Jeep Association will be attending.  Thank you for your encouragement, support and prayers for my next two trips!  Acts 1:8 ‭
