After over two years of being on the road, we have finally made it back to the point we started from.\u00c2\u00a0 We are in Denver!\u00c2\u00a0 It feels good to say, and it certainly feels good to know that we succeeded when many told us it was not possible or that we might fail.\u00c2\u00a0 While we are completely out of money, the trucks are in desperate need of some help with all the lights flashing on the dashboards, and we have the monstrous task of finding funding to complete the journey by making it to Alaska, there is no doubt that we have accomplished something big.\u00c2\u00a0 As many have said though, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153If it was easy, everyone would be doing it.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

There have not been a lot of blogs written lately, mostly because we have been out there in the media working to get more people interested in what we are trying to do and help us raise the funds we need to get this thing finished and then start the speaking tour. Nearly 70,000 miles from where we started the only way we could have accomplished this was with the help from everyone in the world from lodging to tanks of gas to meals, and now we are reaching out to find help here in the USA to help us finish this thing.<\/p>\n

We will be working hard the next few weeks to get the photo galleries caught up, get more stories up about the adventure and get more video segments edited.\u00c2\u00a0 In the meantime there are a few ways you can help this expedition go down in history reaching all the farthest corners of all the continents.<\/p>\n

1) Go to pay pal to help put gas in our tanks.\u00c2\u00a0 Click the button below, even the smallest of contributions will add up if everyone pitches in:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

2) Contact us to advertise on our site.\u00c2\u00a0 You can pay to get links and logos on the site, or if you want to sponsor us or maybe know of a company that would be interested, we can get them some good publicity.\u00c2\u00a0 Email steve@theworldbyroad.com<\/a> to learn more. Links in the sidebar are not that expensive for a lot of exposure.<\/p>\n

3) Email ideas to us for fund raisers.\u00c2\u00a0 We are open to all of your ideas and need all the help we can get.<\/p>\n

4) Help us get in the media.\u00c2\u00a0 If you know of anyone that works in radio, TV, or print.\u00c2\u00a0 Let them know about what we are trying to do.\u00c2\u00a0 The more press we can get, the better.<\/p>\n
