When driving to Monterrico on the Pacific coast of Guatemalan one can choose to go over a bridge or take a 'ferry' like the one on the photo below. For us the choice was obvious...

Backpacked 5 days, 26 miles in Canyonlands with Kelbelicious (KSj85) and his good family...
Even though everything we read suggested there is usually water year round in the area, NPS told us over the phone, "There is virtually NO WATER... and in the few places you might find water it will be so muddy it will instantly clog your filter..." They almost had us talked out of going.

Afterward, we spent a night in Moab, got a shower, resupplied, and and headed east. Wandered for a few days, eventually ended up above 11k'. Camped under Mt Peale in the La Sals.

Did some two-tracking and camping in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. We ended up camping right on the beach of Lake Superior...not another person in sight for days...

When cruising through Nicaragua we've decided to take a detour and go to Volcano Telica, where if you're lucky you can see lava inside the caldera. The road was bumpy, so by the time we go near the caldera the sunset was already upon us.
And a close-up on Volcano San Cristobal (highest in Nicaragua at 5725 ft) and a smaller Volcan Casitas.
We hiked to the rim of the crated at night, but we couldn't see a thing, so we decided to come back in the morning and enjoy the sunrise.
The caldera is rather big and we didn't know how close to the rim we could get without actually falling inside. Unfortunately there was no lava on the bottom. Later we found out that it was buried under a thick layer of rocks after last eruption two months ago.
Fortunately both the sunrise and views around were more than enough to make us feel satisfied with the trip. Not to mention the 4x4 road, which lead to the top.

We're in Cochabama, Bolivia (getting odss-n-sods work done on truck last 2 wks and right now waiting on front seats re-upholstered). We're nearly 10 months on the rod having left (N Seattle) Washington in Sept 2014 and drove up to Alaska (turned around and did more of Canada as got too cold). Been going south every since and travelled thru Mexico and most of the Central Amerian countries (border crossing a hassle and also pretty hot for our Irish skin). Our kids (3) and Gill (wife) enjoying most of it (they skipped Death Rd drive) and ups/down with 5 of us in the truck (+trailer). Some great highlights and memories from the trip. Camped most nights and normally stay 1-2 says per location. Nicer spots stay longer but even 1 year isn't enough time (unless you are really up early every morning and on the go (not like us with 3 tennagers). We won't back Usuhuia (Bottom of South America) and will likely go directly east from Santiago (Chile) over to Uruguay where we'll (likely) ship. Then back to Europe and drive (moving) back to Ireland (kids in school by Sept).
