Ride to Chile


From Oregon to Chile, a motorcycle adventure by Rick Ellis

Home Sweet Home

November 26, 2016

I arrived home a little after 3am on Friday morning. Friends from two different churches helped get my trusty partner home with me, the first one took me as far as a big Copec gas station and rest stop store/restaurant. Then two young men from CBC church came with a pickup truck to take us to our house in ConcepciĆ³n. 

Laurel flies out today with our little companion, Chico, arriving tomorrow morning. 

I haven't had internet so no new pictures, but next week I should be able to put some pics from Santiago and the trip south on the site. Thank you for accompanying me on the trip!
