Nevada new home

From the Beautiful Woods of Oregon to the Mountains and Skies of Nevada

You have not heard from us for a while. We have moved to Nevada. Andreas' Parkinson's Disease has compelled us to be near our son Nicholas, a physician here, who urged us to make this move. The transition was not easy but we and BackTpack, the Mini and the Tumpline Trainer are all set up and ready to go!


Our Journey


Love, Faith, and Trust got us here. Now we are taking these to new heights

for this next chapter...


BackTpack provided the essential "constant" throughout the chaos. With all the rapidly moving parts, we could count on personal order with our BackTpacks

keeping our phones, lists, IDs, checkbooks, emergency documents and medicines, snacks and many sets of keys, organized and at-hand as we drove our lives to this new state. BackTpack was truly our survival system.

In addition to outdoor recreation use, we discovered the Tumpline Trainer is very helpful with Andreas' battle with Parkinson's. We made a home video demonstrating this discovery. More to follow about its use with Parkinson's Disease.

We are grateful for your support in this transition and especially to be connected with you again through BackTpack and this newsletter.
