Jennie & Eric Hultquist – The Trip of a Lifetime

Jennie & Eric Hultquist – The Trip of a Lifetime

Posted by | Nov 1, 2024 | , , |

We originally met Jennie and Eric on a volunteer project through A Year to Volunteer back in February of 2022 at Sam Houston Jones State Park in Lake Charles, Louisiana. 

Who would have guessed when we met them, that we’d be traveling with them throughout Canada and Alaska a few years later?  But low and behold, Jennie and Eric were the fearless leaders of our Alaskan Gang this summer.  We traveled over 7,000 miles with them from the end of May through the beginning of August and had a fantastic time.  It was the trip of a lifetime, even though we hope to return to America’s Last Frontier at some point in the future, this trip has given all of us memories that will last a lifetime.

Marcus Higgs – Communication is Crucial

Posted by | Oct 25, 2024 | , , |

Marcus is a communication coach for parents of preteens (ages 10-14). He helps them show up and maintain a meaningful relationship with their child through communication during these crucial formative years.

The clients he works with know the value of doing hard things and want to connect with their tween before it’s too late to bridge the gap.

With a multicultural background himself—born to a Filipino mother and a Bahamian father—Marcus finds particular joy in supporting families to communicate across generational and cultural divides.

The Archway is a unique museum that literally extends over Interstate 80 to pay homage to all those who have traveled across its path throughout history.
Since ancient times, the route along the Platte River in Nebraska, once called the Great Platte River Road, has served as a migratory pathway across the continent. From the era of the Oregon Trail to the present day, the Archway brings the history of the Great Platte River Road to life.
Central to the Archway experience is its historical exhibit, which honors the American spirit of exploration. Utilizing life-sized figures and personal audio guides, the Archway recounts the tale of America’s development. Visitors can walk alongside pioneers on the Oregon Trail, observe a Pony Express Station horse exchange, listen to Mark Twain’s story of a cross-country stagecoach journey, witness the driving of the “Golden Spike” connecting the nation’s railways, and learn about life on the Lincoln Highway at a traveler’s campground.
Located at Exit 275 on I-80, a key coast-to-coast travel route today, the Archway commemorates the journeys of all adventurers who have traveled the river’s route – from those who contributed to our nation’s development in the past to those who are shaping our future today.

Dan and Sandy – Back to the Lower-48

We talk about our incredible experience in Haines, Alaska when we saw the Northern Lights.  Our trip from Haines to Skagway on the Ferry.  We experienced the Yukon Suspension Bridge and the Carcross Desert as we made our way down to Vancouver before crossing back into the United States.

Once we got into Washington, we still had a few more adventures with Alex and Cooper before they split off to make their way back to Pennsylvania.  We explored both Olympic and Mount Rainier National Parks before splitting off on separate routes back east.
