God is Good!
We left you on the last post with Ed driving up some bearings that might work…..
He arrived, the bearings fit & we were back on the road by 11pm – only a short 3 hour delay.
The rest of the trip was uneventful. We pulled into Prince Rupert (1200 miles away) at 1am Tuesday morning.
We are only a couple of ferry rides and a day and a half away from camp. Thanks for your prayers.
Well, after a full day of packing and loading, we are finally going north to Alaska! With some great help from Ed and Gary Gunkel, we were able to finish the loading and be on the road by 5:45 pm.
However, two hours into the trip, we lost the wheel bearing on the right side of the trailer. Currently we are in a parking lot in Airway Heights, pulling off the tire and old, burnt up bearings. Good ol’ Ed Shoemaker is generously driving up here to meet us with another set of bearings.
Please pray for us, that we get back on the road as quick as possible. Thanks.
Gary & Ed have done a fantastic job. Two weeks ago fabricating our own boats was not even a consideration. It hadn’t even come up as a possibility in conversation – and today we were loading the finished boats on a trailer. They are awesome!
Praise God!
A special thanks to Bill Kramer for the use of his boom truck.
The bottom boat is an older Valco 17′ Aluminum boat that we picked up earlier this year.
Loaded & Ready for the road. Pray that loading the rest of our stuff goes well. Lord willing we will pull out of here Sunday late afternoon. (tomorrow)
