Ann and I and my boys are camping near Lake Stevens for a day and then will be up at Deception Pass for a couple days. I expect updates will be spotty, but I’ve got a few things to read for Sunday.
I authored an article for Mark Smith’s War Jeeps site on five major trips undertaken with a Ford GPA Seep. It was a fun article to write. During my research I learned that Helen Schreider is still alive and living in Santa Fe, New Mexico. There’s a producer working on a film about her. The producer volunteered to ask her some questions I composed, but I’ve yet to hear back form them.

Frank and Helen Schreider in India, 1960.
Thanks to your heads up in an earlier post about the Schreiders’ trek from Alaska to the tip of South America, I read the book and thought it was one of the most amazing motorized exploits I ever came across! Thanks!
