COW Team in Ghana!

The COW team is in Ghana, and we say goodbye to Luke.

First off, I would like to say thank you so much to all of our sponsors for your donations and support, without every cent and every ounce of effort COW would not be where it is today.

Tate and Keegan are now in Ghana! Over the satellite phone I spoke once again with the guys who told me of their whereabouts and recent adventures. As of two days ago, the guys were in a populated area in Ghana. They were finally able to take showers, consisting of rainwater funneled down a hose and a refreshing dip into the ocean. They have been camping out and enjoying the brief reliefs from extremely dense jungle areas.

Unfortunately, this is where we say our goodbyes to Luke, the photographer who joined the COW team months ago in Barcelona. Luke was an excellent addition to the team and helped document COW’s participation in the Africa Rally. While he would have liked to continue, visas were simply too costly and he had to remain in Ghana. We thank him for all his efforts and his participation and hope he finishes his travels safely and returns to his home safely in the State when he chooses to do so!

Tate and Keegan also let me in on the condition of the COWmobile. Currently, they are driving the treacherous roads of Africa with two working shocks; the two-foot potholes took the other two out of play. We can only hope the other two stay in working order over the next “few” thousands of miles before Kribi, Cameroon.

While our two adventurists keep steady on their journey, us COW members at home stay vigilant and try and help them as much as we can. Large thanks must go to Debbie Hennessy for her extensive efforts in helping out with all the financial speedbumps that have come our way. Also, a thanks must go to Tim Chen for the wonderful website.

Once again, thanks to everyone for their help in making our not-for-profit organization prosper and succeed in our first international efforts.
