ABOUT MARK
Captain Mark Hunnibell
Captain Hunnibell ended his attempted trans-continental journey at the Grand Canyon following a broken crankshaft just south of Burlingame, Kansas. He then trailered the Red One along his planned route, ending the tour after a dinner at the El Tovar Hotel at the Grand Canyon with C.K. Shepherd’s son.MARK'S 1919 HENDERSON
The Henderson Model Z-2
Mark’s father gave him this motorcycle as a basket case in 1978 and he finally got it running 40 years later! It was a long road back to the living for the one-of-a-kind red Henderson, but by 2018, it seemed well-prepared to make the long haul across the United States in the summer of 2019.C.K.'S 1919 TRIP
C.K. Shepherd’s 1922 Book
C.K. Shepherd’s 1922 book about his epic motorcycle journey across America in 1919 is a motorcycle and American history classic. His book takes you along for his ride in a way that you can see just how primitive things were 100 years ago when the United States was barely 100 years old itself.CHASING CHARLES
Chasing in 2019/2022
In 2019, Mark’s planned tribute to C.K. Shepherd was to ride over many of the identical roads that C.K. ran on 100 years ago, about 4,500 miles in 16 states. After mechanical failure in Kansas stopped the ride in 2019 after covering about 2,000 miles, the tribute ride resumed in September 2022, starting at the same point as the mechanical failure, affectionately dubbed “Crankshaft, Kansas.” Learn MoreLatest Video

Reflections
May 4, 2024: As I wrote in my last newsletter, I asked Willie, Glen, and Lloyd to send me their reflections. I have included them below. I cannot fully describe the breadth and depth of my appreciation for the contributions that each of these men made toward the ultimate success of this project!
