Soooo, yeah?? Although i'm not totally on board with the whole marriage metaphor, I do agree with what Jake has said. We work well together and we enjoy each other's company. Since we started hanging out at college in Billings a few years ago our friendship has been a great one. The standout element has been consistency. You know when your friend is like "man, we should totally climb that mountain sometime" ....... aaaand it never really happens. Jake and I climb that mountain. We make stuff happen. We make time, even if its not right away.
So when Jake approached me about this trip a few years ago, I thought "yeah, we could actually pull this off." Like he mentioned, we work well together. I tend to wing things a bit, but Jake is a planner. This trip requires careful and complete planning. He's not afraid of what he doesn't know. Life is about learning and Jake loves to learn. That's gonna be important on this trip. There is a lot to learn beforehand and along the way in order to make this journey safe, enjoyable, and successful.
Beyond just working well together, we have great fun. Whether its playing college ultimate frisbee or a late night discussion, we always find something in common. Being able to enjoy the adventure and insanity with a friend will make the trip that much richer. It takes a specific kind of personality to want to do this trip, much less complete it. "hawcub" (jacob) possesses the knowledge, desire, and courage needed. This may be due to his long, flowing mane, or maybe his solid upbringing, either way, he's got it and we're going to South America. Wut. Wut.
Stayed tuned to hear about the purchase of our motorcycles. We are currently working on procuring 2 Kawasaki dual sport bikes. The stoke level is off the charts.
