Hiking
I
wore out a pair of Eddie Bauer hiking boots... It's quite amazing
that no one got hurt on any of the hikes. The worst injuries came
from jogging and playing football. This is the trail to the nearest
river... Imagine doing this everyday just to haul water. |

Trucks
Going
around in trucks on the dirt roads was quite exciting but very
bumpy. When the roads get muddy, the trucks "fish-tail"
quite a bit, sometimes precariously close to the edges. We had to
push this truck up a particularly steep hill. |

Flying
Air
transport is vital to missionary work in remote areas. We flew in
Cessna 206's down to the Sepik basin. I felt pretty claustrophobic
and nauseated in the back seat of one. There are airstrips
everywhere. The Anu tribe even built an airstrip in the hopes of
getting a missionary to go to their tribe.

Canoes
"Iwam"
means people of the river. These dugout canoes are the main means of
transportation. It's very difficult to stand up in one. |
