Chile - part 2 Our first guanacos! At least we think so, we are still working on identifying guanacos vs vicunas. But guanacos are supposed to be the ones with black faces. Filling up the water tank in a village on the way. The Atacama desert is one of only three places in the world we...

Chile - Part 1 As soon as we hit the road in Chile everything felt right with the world. We were reminded what we loved most about our overlanding life. Travel felt easy with vast and varied wild landscapes and tasty food. We looked forward to learning about a new culture and people. We...

Wow! For reference my four wheel camper Fleet (flatbed version) with a Norweld tray/flatbed weighs 1,800 to 1,900 lbs.

Ha! Sharp eyes. I was trying to find it as well I guess I skipped over our Cambodia post. I'll post that up when I have better internet

I'm always happy to answer questions. My challenges is doing it in a timely manner as internet access is always seems to be limited. Uh-Oh about Lake Titicaca. Been doing a little research on that and was looking forward to it

Sure thing. Hopefully it provides at least some entertainment if not information

Thailand Since we were unable to bring our camper into Thailand but were so close, we decided to fly into Bangkok from Malaysia to hit a few highlights. We had never been to Thailand and had heard only positive things about visiting. It felt odd to be donning backpacks and getting on a plane...
