I wish that all my files were not still packed away after our recent move, but I did this math about a year ago based on figures from 1964 and determined that gas should have been (at that time) around $3.50/gal based on the comparative figures of other "essential" commodities and the value of...

WOW!!! 506 rigs with you. Sure glad you're don't have PBYC on your itinerary. :Wow1: You'd do in the fajitas we'd planned :eatchicke :D With all due respect, BM, I don't think there's such a thing as a "Quick Stop" at Mike's. That's a 30mi trip up to Mike's from Valle de T, then another...

I don't know your time from L.A. to Calexico. It depends on what part of the city. Here's our avg times. Calexico - San Felipe = 2 hrs SF - SLdG = 3 hrs That's DRIVING TIMES. Stopping for beers, tacos, and gas (the kind used in vehicles) not included. My guess is that LA - Calexico = 4 hrs...

Terry, you sneaky son-of-a-guNN... :) Is that really you? Surfing the web, I see. I've stopped by your shop a couple of times over the past year (while making the move from Prescott to Shoshone) but missed you each time. You were probably out having fun. I did obtain most of the info that...

What a great experience for all! Is 'Tuk' short for Tuktoyaktuk? Now, you're talking! That will be a great expedition! Know you guys will have some great stories. Cheers! Allen R

Pacific Coast, Guerrero, Mex Just caught these at cocktail time last week on the coast north of Zihuatanejo. Allen R

I believe that the aurora borealis is quite active during March-April, but if the visibility is anything like the pic above they'll be lucky to find their way back to their aurora toyotalis. Allen R

Enjoying all the notes and pix. Keep 'em coming! Allen R (Can't play the video for some reason, and I have Quick Time and Active X. Don't know the problem, but I'll work on a solution. :) )

That's for sure. I should not have omitted ON. Allen R

I can't recall when the SCORE Baja 500 was a "straight shot". When was that? The B1K has for a while been a loop and point-to-point on alternate years, but I must have missed the 500 that was a P2P. This year's SCORE Baja 250 (formerly the SCORE San Felipe 250) ended up being a P2P after the...

We're just back from a short trip to mainland Mexico and I'm getting caught up on the Arctic Ocean Boys. Great reading! I love all the gadgetry you guys have with you. Do we care about things like GVWR? :elkgrin: :elkgrin: (I know I don't.) :offtopic: ...just slightly. VINCE, that list is...

Diana and I will be there in spirit and we promise that by party time we will have lifted several glasses to the Arctic Ocean Expedition Team from a remote beach on the Pacific coast of the state of Guerrero, Mex. :beer: ...or at least I will, since D avoids the adult stuff. Have fun...and...

I think it just might be. This video popped up on our satellite BBC-America channel a couple of months ago in some kind of travel/adventure program. I neglected to make any notes at the time. I suppose a search HERE might bring up something. Allen R

Scott/Chris-- Have you considered on-board cameras. I'm thinking of the kind that Micron placed on the Gordon/Grider Hummer for the Dakar Rally. You can see some of the video shot HERE. Those videos are also on You Tube. It would be cool if you could upload video to something like You Tube...

I believe my "Tool, entrenching" has been with us for 47 years. Does that qualify as 'lengendary'? :archaeolo We also have a mess kit knife that has been sharpened so much that the blade is now only 7/16ths width instead of the 7/8ths. We like those knives so much that we look for them in...

Yowzers! That puts you into the 'pro' division for the ALCAN. Could it have been the posting to Mountain Home? :) Allen R

We do purchase and drink bottled water when traveling. The price doesn't bother me. After all, the beer I drink is $12 -$15/gal and the wine...well, that can run pretty high if one is doing a cost/gal analysis. I do purchase much, maybe most, of my beer and wine from producers who re-cycle...

Pete, That's interesting, but I doubt some of Pablo's assumptions and calculations. I read his entire article and the comments following. I'd like to spend more time with the original article, but my analytical side says, "There's something missing here." It' still food for thought. I was...

-Nomad, I assume you're suggesting the stop at Liard Hot Sprgs as just a generic suggestion and not connected with your comment on the 1000-mile day from Whitehorse to P. George. It's my understanding that Scott and Chris will be going north on the ALCAN Hwy--ergo passing Liard that...

Melody, welcome to ExPo! Thanks for posting your question. I've struggled with that dilema as well, mucking along with Map Source for several years and being less than satisfied. I believe that I'll follow Scott's advice and re-do everything with Ozi. The 'final straw' was at last year's...
