Coldfoot, Alaska
Hi from Roger (Jonathan’s Dad).
Kay and I are very proud of what Jonathan is doing. We do not ask “why?”. We know. If you know the answer to “why?” you do not need to ask and you understand. If you need to ask “why?” you will not understand the answer.
Jonathan rang last night – midnight UK time Thursday 4 June 2009. He is camping at Coldfoot with a nice warm diner to hole up in. He is tired, and resting for a day, but upbeat and elated by his experiences. Half way to Fairbanks and over the crest of the Brooks Range is excellent progress.
I will keep any relevant news posted on this site either directly or via Jason.
PS. Where does Jonathan get this from? Maybe in part from us. Feel free to visit my website http://www.rogersladephoto.co.uk. I work in Antarctica each winter. And I have just bought a large motorbike.
So, “keep on trucking Jonathan”.
Passed Jon twice on the Dalton Highway. Stopped for a chat each time. What a great young man! He is doing very well despite the major hills, mud and mosquitoes. This afternoon he was just south of the Yukon. Each time we talked I was impressed with his great attitude and spirit. All the best Jon hope the wind is at your back and the road is more down than up…Lou Z.
HI John,
I hope your trek is going well; you will have to get back to me by email & let me know how your ride was. It was great meeting you in DH and hope to chat soon.
