A good friend who passed in June he was one of the key organizers of the Alaska or Rust trip. An author, a Jeeper, an adventurer and so much more. In June we lost both Dave and our friend Mike Pumphrey. Mike was a longtime WW2 reenactor, good friend, helped with the barn move, volunteered at the Mason Dixon Jeep show and so much more. Both are severely missed. Around 18 minutes we start on the last of the trip. But we would love it if you would take the time to hear about some wonderful folks you may never have met.
