The Henry Ford Museum located in Dearborn near Detroit was excellent but the most fascinating to us was seeing how vehicles emerged as fun “camping and touring” vehicles. From the VW camper van, to the Airstream, to tents that could be attached to vehicles. How far we come since the early...

We had a magnificent stay in Chicago, we walked miles and miles, got up early and went to bed late and crammed as much as we could in 3 days. It was whirled wind tour and a city we highly recommend you visit. The traffic is easy to drive in and navigation a breeze. Highlights included the Cloud...

This is a video we made while in Alaska and it will show you why you must travel overland to Alaska, it is stunning. I also think this is Tom's best video but then maybe I am biased as I love wildlife and the outdoors. Enjoy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_C_6dKbxHcQ

On route to Chicago we pulled into the campsite and headed for the registration office. I listened in amazement as the lady behind the counter leaned forward and asked the elderly man standing in front of me, “Do you need a dump?” “No I had a good dump yesterday and am cleaned out” he replied...

We made it to Chicago and decided to drive into the city, as it was a Sunday and thought the traffic would not be too bad. It wasn't it was easy to navigate, however parking is impossible as is camping. So we decided to splurge while in Chicago and took a hotel room. While driving through...

We have crossed through South Dakota and loved the Black Hills and Badlands, did some hiking although we have had a lot of rain we have been lucky with a few days of sunshine. This part of the USA should be on every overlanders wish list. It is great traveling and the byways are apparently among...

Thanks it is great to be back. We even had a welcome sign ensuring us Americans speak "Canadian" Must say it is so much easier to travel in a country when we can speak the language. Still working on our Spanish for South America. We have loved Dakota it is wide open spaces, friendly people and...

We arrived in North Dakota and just love the countryside and scenery. Unfortunately the scenic drive in the North Theodore Roosevelt National Park was not completely open as they are doing road works so could only drive a little way into the park. The wind was bitterly cold, is Dakota having an...

And we are finally back on the road and heading south. We finally made it to Saskatchewan and loved this prairie landscape. Today we are heading into the USA and will be exploring Dakota. It feels so good to be overlanding again. We will now be on the road all the way to Argentina, although we...

One of the highlights of visiting Alaska is to see Grizzlies in the wild. We were lucky enough to see a mother with three cubs showing them the river, a great source of salmon. We met a fellow overlander and he invited us to share a tasty meal with him. Great traveling makes great friends...

Ho boy did we forget!! Traveling with children is not for sissies, it is tough going. Scheduling beach trips, meal times, potty stops and nap times with the urge to explore the island of Sardinia it is a reminder to Tom and I how easy we have it when we only have to schedule our days for the 2...

Thanks everyone for the positive video feedback. With regards to the Titan and the Outfitter camper we are really pleased with the both the design and how they held up. We really pushed both the truck and the camper with bad roads and conditions and both held up really well. We loved having the...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICda9UhV8wY This is our video of the infamous Dalton Highway in Alaska to Prudhoe Bay or Deadhorse.

We drove back into Calgary after completing 11,230km (6,977miles) it was time to assess how the Nissan truck and Outfitter did. First we needed to get off the plastered on fossilized bugs, caked in mud and dust off the truck and camper. We had only managed to wash the truck twice on route...
