Matt & Stephanie Hoag of St George, Utah. Matt and Stephanie became hosts for me through long-time ride follower Patrick Sis,k who is also friends with ride follower Perry Stone. Matt & Stephanie hosted me from April 8 to 12. How it came to be that the Hoags were to host me was that on April 6, I was involved in a grass fire that burned up a lot of my gear. You can read about that situation HERE.
The Hoags allowed me the time to get myself organized and replace my gear to get back on the road. Along with hosting me, Matt gave me a sleeping bag, sleeping pad, and a bike helmet. And through a friend of Matt’s who happened to be visiting Las Vegas, I was able to acquire probably the one and only remaining set of front panniers in Las Vegas.
