Have you been following the international news? There’s always a crisis and seemingly always people dying. Earlier this week a group of Americans taking a side trip in Northern Chile by bus to Lauca National Park died when the bus driver had to swerve to avoid an oncoming truck. The bus went tumbling down hundreds […]
While I haven’t made it to Africa quite yet on my WorldRider Journey, it appears my brother Jonathan beat me to it. A couple weeks ago he wandered around Algeria, Mali, Chad and who knows where else. His mission? Spending some quality time with US Special Forces as they trained anti-terrorist militia groups from various […]
My apologies for not getting an update posted since the beginning of this month. But I’ve been making progress on my rehab and fortunately have had the pleasure of entertaining visitors. Thanks to Bryan Roe my former partner and co-founder of Wirestone who along with his wife Michelle and 4-year old daughter joined me in […]

Tim checks in on my recovery, rehabilitation and plans to finish what I set out to do. Please join Tim and I for a 20 minute update on WorldRider and more. You can listen/download the […]
I was a bit worried when I heard from Jeremiah on Sunday: I crossed the Straights of Magellan on a 3-hour ferry ride yesterday: I am now officially on the island of Tierra del Fuego. But though I am only 284 miles short of my southernmost goal on the island’s opposite tip–I simply cannot go […]
It’s rather tough to sit and lie here in Southern California while fielding e-mails from my riding partner and good samaritan extraordinaire Jeremiah. But it is what it is; as the adage goes.

It took a broken leg and a medivac return to the United States to get the first WorldRider PodCast up and published. Want to know why it took so long? You’ll have to download it and listen. Truthfully, this is really a non-official first PodCast here on WorldRider. I did this very quickly from my […]
It’s been 29 days since my accident in Tica Tica, Bolivia. 26 days since my surgery in Newport Beach, California. I’m moving around on the crutches more easily. I’m off the narcotics and have switched to Advil. My leg still stiffens up at night. I wake. Stretch and flex the bugger. Then have a hard […]
I tried to get as much sleep as possible that first night in the hospital. It’d been a long journey to get here — three and a half days to be exact. But I’d spend the next three and a half in that hospital bed. I gave the nursing staff and my doctor a scare […]
I’m getting tired of sleeping, pain killers and doing nothing. Some say I should relish in my down time. I’d like to spice it up. I’m coming along. The nights are the hardest. Between pain medicine wearing off and my leg immobile for hours while I sleep, I wake up stiff and in pain. A […]
