I´m working with Matthias Jeschke on his projects, on PNY2009 as well.
I´m sorry to inform you, that the expedition is on hold - due to funding problems. The two JKs are garaged in the very east of Russia and I don´t have any information, when the trip will continue. But be sure that ExPo will get any information as soon as they are available. If any of you have any questions about the expedition please feel free to ask - I´ll answer them as good as I can!

There was a book written in the early 1950s about a couple that drove an amphibious army surplus Jeep from Alaska to tip of South America. Amazing read.......they took it through the Carribean Sea to avoid Darrien Gap.
