Welcome to The Great Escape!

              At the Red Pyramid. Dahshur, Egypt.

     My faithful friend watches the east bank of the Nile grow closer. Sudan.

       August 2, 2008. This update comes from Golden, Colorado. My short time here in the US is almost at an end. I have been very busy. Biscuit and I will be flying from Chicago to Frankfurt on 28, August. The bike is still in pieces in the garage of a friend of mine, Matt Zalinski. Without Matt's help I'm not sure what I would have done! Ditto for Dale and Sandy Ploung. They took me into their home for almost a week (that takes fortitude) and helped me bring the bike up to speed. Dale has ridden a whopping 27,000 miles in the Americas on a classic BMW- Sandy was along for much the ride. There is much more to report about my time in the US- and about the people I've met since I've been here. In a month I'll attend the Horizons Unlimited meet in Malaga, Spain. I'll give another presentation there. After that I will be back "home" in Africa. This site is still being overhauled and I am working on a book about Africa. To say I have been busy during my short time in the US would be an understatement. Things are happening at a fast pace these days! Dave.
