Hi Josephine and Frederick,

Just finished reading about your adventure. One of the most compelling "simple reports" I have ever had the pleasure of reading.
It is so refreshing to read something that is written with such honesty and candor.

Frederick & Josephine,

I just want to say thanks for the time an effort you put into this report. I've known about its existence on ExPo and read the first pages initially, however have been waiting for the right time to sit down and read it through in its entirety.

I started reading comments after your final posts and became frustrated with many, so I skipped over them, I'm not here to discuss what you did and didn't do. What you did do was an amazing feat, something that my wife and I would never try to accomplish, I guess our sense of adventure stops a little bit short of yours, and I thank you for taking the time to share it in this way.

Though I am new to this forum I did not come here for this story. I must say however, once I stumbled across it I was completely hooked.

Thank you both for taking the time to write about your adventure. I've spent the last 24hrs reading this thread.

If you ever make it to Chicago look me up and we'll have a nice :beer:

Cheers!

Hi guys, thanks again for all the great feedback! Apologies for our silence of the last weeks. We spent some much needed time in Marocco... With our Landcruiser ofcourse ;-)

Guys,

That's far and away the best web-based expedition log/ trip report I've ever read - only recently signed up to the forum and had to read about your travels from start to finish!

I'm mightily impressed by your courage, determination and fascinating insights. I salute you !

Cheers,

TT
