A view of the bigger world

The following is a blog I have been following for a couple of years..... Several individuals mentioned looking in on Tioga George and the wagon master and I thought that if you has not found this one you might enjoy :) Currently he is back in CA for Christmas with his family.
If you read through enough on Hubert...you figure out that this gentleman is French, has lived in NYC, has an ex-wife and two adult daughters in Europe and a current wife (of many years) and two adult but younger daughters in Americas.... If I follow the information...he is a cancer survivor that has taken his passion for Motor cycles and side cars and seeing and exploring the world and with the blessing of his current family is living his dream....... Though his English is not always perfect his photography IS wonderful and the worlds that he travels through and experiences are not on the tourist brochures..........His pictures of the worlds he finds open windows in my mind. (For example the electric plug and the TV in the Yurt in the middle of a Mongolian no where land.) The manner in which he deals with issues and difficulties and break downs puts parallel experiences in this part of the world in perspective.......

I've put that in favorites so I can have a long read later. I do check on George and the Wagon guy, but gave up on the two mules guy. Too many requests for donations.
