| Here is a little thank you to all the people that were generous enough to support our trip. Their support varied from mechanical help to good ol' hard cash; we were given t-shirts, roof racks, and even a bottle of 1968 collectors edition Jim Bean. Every little bit has helped and we want you all to know it has been more than appreciated. |

Swinj, the amazing talents of Trent Call.Trent, the older brother of our great friend Clay, is an amazing artist and close friend. Aside from taking Nima snowboarding every weekend in high school he was kind enough to design our VWVIAJE logo: our van on its way to Patagonia. Check out his site, it is full of oil paintings, prints, comics, and more. |

| Paul Suiter Our mechanic/teacher who taught us all we know about our sweet van. He teaches evening mechanic courses at East High. We highly recommend him. |
Richard from REI, SLC. We walked into REI looking for used roof racks ads, ran into Richard and told him about our little trip. He thought about it for a minute and then offered his own set. Within half an hour we had a sweet Yakima roof rack for the van that has proved its weight in gold. Turns out Richard and my dad are good friends, small world, huh? |

Marian Bonar, who somehow found it in her heart to let us leave, but not without plenty of chapstick and sweet CD's. And to Bob Bonar, it's the thought that counts. |
