Made it to SMA, at Weber's camping and tennis club. Small world of overlanders in this place. Should have guessed.
Big day: Spent last night in Nuevo Laredo. Long haul to SMA. 180km at night. No worries at all. Crazy drivers; zero bandits.
Blog coming tomorrow on centraloverland.com
Off to...
Lots of paisanos loaded with gifts all headed home for the holidays. Traffic suck? Sure. But at least we overlanders don't stand out too much amongst the multitude of other trucks with crap strapped all over them! :D This also means that there are lots of fellow Americans on the road south with...

Thanks, everyone.
You know we just had to get the site right next to the water.
Lovely moonrise just at midnight. Coyotes howling and yelping. Chilly, but about to get warmed up in the tent. Ready for some good rest, second to final night stateside.

Today marks the first official day of a fantastic three-week adventure!
We invite you to stay tuned for stories, travel tips, and tons of photos and videos from throughout our travels in Mexico, Guatemala, and Belize. We'll be doing our best to drop in here for updates, but the website is...
We're going to be in Laredo on Saturday night in prep for an early Sunday crossing on Bridge II. We'll run the 57 down to Matahuala, at least, that day.
You're welcome to cozy up with us for as much of that as you'd like, if it suits your desires and schedule, as well. Lemme know and we can...
Excellent trip! And I agree with dg about being ready for anything. Far too often I get out there wishing I had my bike or canoe et al. Well played, sir.
David, I'll have the same tire as Paul in a 315/70r17. Hopeful things dry out: I hear it's still very wet right now. We may not make it too far into the jungle on our trip! :snorkel:
Paul, Ben et al: Safe travels, gents. We'll be in touch. Hopefully we bump into y'all.
What's your schedule for southbound? Our two-truck convoy will pass the Brownsville gate on the morning of the 18th. Any hope to see you guys somewhere in the central mtns that week?
Initially, I was laughing to myself. Then I ran into the sunroom where the rest of the family was doing homework. Then I interrupted to read them your blog entry. Then, as a family who travels Central America ourselves and understands the perils, we laughed together. Love it.
Thanks for...
Forgive me for the condition of my truck. Sorry it's dirty. Was out in the woods last week and did nothing more than hose it off after coming back. All that redness is good ole Arkie clay, not rust. Hope it didn't mess up the photos too badly.

Some friends and I will be traveling through MX, GT, and BZ for a few weeks starting next month. I'll keep an eye on your travels. We'd love to link up with you guys while we're down there.
You're an inspiration! Congrats on getting started. Wish you well, friends.

The video is there for me, bud. I also show multiple plays each day this week for others. Maybe it is a plug-in issue.
Try this one over on YouTube.
Thanks!
Love your story. I wholly believe in what you're doing.
Some friends and l will be making a lap through MX, GT, and BZ for a few weeks in Dec-Jan. Six adults and four kiddos in a three vehicle convoy. I hope we can find you guys!
All the best! We'll be in touch.
