updates on Chris' ride
Some of you guys may have noticed that the expected starting date has changed to the 26th due to some unfortunate delay in shipping the motorcycle to Argentina. Consequently, Chris had to change his flight to tomorrow morning so he can arrive in Buenos Aires on Thursday. Once there, he will have to fill up the bike with oil and gas and start riding to Ushuaia (the southern most tip of South America) which should take him about 3 days (2,000 miles)...then start the ride from there. This ride is going to be more challenging than expected because of the latest news about natural disasters such as earthquake, possible tsunamis and hurricane in South America, as well as the recent activity of Pavlof volcano in Alaska...All we are missing is a tornado along the way :) Otherwise, Chris is anxious and exited to finally start this amazing ride!

Wow! I didn't know about all these natural hapinesses!! :o) Sounds like this ride's gonna be exciting after all! I thought that would be just a tourist ride with nice sightseeing and night camps :o)
I hope Chris is bringing along an harmonica for the fire camps ;o)
Update us about the situation out there, especially concerning these disasters. Sounds like it's gonna be tough to cross all these south american countries :-s
