Bøger i 74,703 Miles: My Three Solo Jo serien

It's time for an adventure, and you are invited to travel the world with the author as he sets off in a 1950 Willy Overland (Jeep) four-wheel drive station wagon painted Allis-Chalmers orange with John Deere yellow wheels. He called her Nellie while traveling in Alaska, and had been with her across every state in the union except Hawaii. Now Stanley and Nellie were setting off to circle the globe. This is your chance to ride shotgun alongside Stanley, as he travels by land. Stanley was stopped just prior to entering Afghanistan. Not to be deterred from completing his travels, Stanley abandoned his truck in Bishkek, Kyrgyz Republic. Years later Stanley determined it was time to finish circling the world by land and returned years later with an old Harley Davidson motorcycle. Over the course of three decades, Stanley Sieja, Jr. has completed solo journeys around the world by air, land, and sea without sponsorship.

We are sometimes given works to do that we do not understand the meaning thereof, nor do we know the how, or the why, that we believe that we are given to accomplish these works. The meaning and the way remain unclear unto us, and yet we have the conviction that this is what we are being asked to do. This, then, becomes our Journey of Faith. My Journey of Faith has been travel. For three decades I crossed the oceans, deserts, mountains, and jungles of the world. I sailed the seas, flew the skies, and traversed the land without sponsors or fanfare; traveling this world perhaps as no other has before. With my left hand I advance the throttle until Betsy eases forward and then I reduce power so that we're taxing at a comfortable pace. The wind kicks up the leaves as I taxi to the end of the runway for run-up and takeoff. Join me on this journey around the world with my Piper PA-12 Super Cruiser, Betsy.
