You've grown a beard!
Nice.

Welcome to the club.....

-o-

yep, even though it doesn't feel like it down here i've grown the annual winter beard. i'd go total hippie for the entire trip but fears of a skullet and unhappy officers of the law with my appearance have prevented it.

he already made the mistake of leaving the 35's at home, they're gone now.
 
Great Adventure. Do keep us updated on your travels and off road expeditions which you are encountering. You may have a book or a documentary in the making...(if you wanted.)
 
congrats!! what a trip!

tell us a bit more about the formalities and administrative stuff of border crossings, insurance, taxes etc? A nightmare or no big deal?


And what about space? An 80 with roof rack is plenty big to be fully self-sufficient out there in comfort or are you cramped and hurting for more room?
 
Yep, curious as well - now you're nearly out of Colombia, what was in your opinion the hairiest country you wandered? Did you feel threatened or unpleasantly watched anywhere, especially because of your rig and/or its US licence plates?
 
:frown:
Sorry for you and Ruby Claire, Dave. At least you're OK and she still runs and is going to drive you to your goal. Best wishes from far away.
 
okay here is the damage. at least i'm in a gorgeous locale for taking pics. oh and I soaked in a 114 degree natural spring this morning.

Hey Dave,

Just spent over an hour reading the whole thread. Great job. It is a treat to hear about your travels. We all wish you well back home.
Take care, my friend. Be safe.

Cheers,

paul,

look at you actually making a post. the internet is an amazing thing isn't it. i slept wonderfully in the eezi-awn two nights ago. i need to get to the desert so i can use it more frequently.

I think you made the right call on walking away from that accident..Hate to add salt to your injury...:)but--what spray on bedliner did you use to paint your flares? Did you use a spray gun?
 
Dave sorry, can't help but notice the irony.

Isn't this Linda with the piece your missing?
