To arrive at our house it is advised to have 4WD. After driving about 0.5 mi into the neighborhood (all rough dirt road) you descend into a small valley. From there, the short, steep climb up to our house is about a 300 ft increase in altitude. Remember… all dirt. And what time of the [...]
In two days, I take a day trip up to Makete in the Kinga language area. Literally ‘up’ because I have to climb to nearly 10,000ft before dropping back down into Makete at 7,500ft.
It’s about a 3-hour trip one-way, with 2.5 hours being on rough dirt roads.

It’s a zone, atmosphere, environment that suits me REALLY, REALLY well because I have absolutely everything I need to do my entire job practically within arm’s reach. I can record today. I can duplicate tapes today. I can [...]
This post is going to be kinda weird. What I’m going to write about is our car and the vast number of things that we’ve had go wrong with it. And ask if you think our car (thus us) is being spiritually attacked. I’ve never seen anything like this in my life.
We got the car [...]
