Looks like an amazing adventure!
You two are inspiring... what a life you are living! So full of adventure and good will traveling out there in the big, wide world. Stay safe and healthy. Let's hope that this next year's skate ski season has a little bit more snow. Wishing you all the best, Heather (and John) Segale
