We spent a few days with friends in Santa Barbara. We actually met them on a ferry and invited us to stay with them a few days so we took them up on their offer. It was wonderful to have a real bed again how soon we forget. But the urge to hit the road soon had us back on the road. We are now at...

"Great minds think a like and great overlanders travel a like" That is too funny

We cleaned out the truck yesterday its first huge clean since leaving Calgary. The truck packing system is working really well and we are proud that we don't seem to have over or under packed. We have only what we need for 18 month of travel. It is always a big question what to take and what do...

Yes they are worth the trip we were so lucky that so few people were in the caverns, as the silence alone was wonderful. We are moving on having left Las Vegas our first and last time I am sure. Today we spent a wonderful day at the Red Rock National Park and had an opportunity to do some off...

We finally have made it to Vegas and are camped on a large very large asphalt parking lot. So this is Vegas for overlanders!! We have updated our blog from Texas and New Mexico. We have been without internet connection as we traveled the back roads across Arizona and into Nevada. Discovered...

We finally have met some fellow travellers heading for South America, traveling from Switzerland in a Land Cruiser. We all plan to be in South America by the end of 2011 so am sure we will link up again on route. They don't have a website so can't share that with the forum. We are currently in...

As Tom is geologist there are not many rocks we miss on our way so did go to the enchanting rock and had a lovely time. It reminded us a bit of place in Zimbabwe where Tom once worked. We had a lovely lunch meeting with Doug and Stephanie Hackney in Austin yesterday. Sharing overland stories...

I trust you so hope you are right they look too much like a crocodile for me to trust them. Sorry about all the replies individually but cannot figure out how to do multiple quotes in one reply if someone would enlighten me I would appreciate that. We are now leaving San Antonio to explore the...

Pleased you are enjoying our stories. Yes we have many rats stories including rats that ate their way into our Land Cruiser through the engine and into our tupperware sealed boxes of food in Nairobi. In West Africa they sell them along the side of the road for food, but did not try one or least...

Thanks for that information we were thinking of going through this border and taking the ferry across to the mainland.

We explored Louisiana and New Orleans. Loved the music, food, people and entertainers but found the city grubby. It is suppose to be the 2nd dirtiest city in the United States and we can see why. Even had rats running around our feet on the Moonwalk along the Mississippi River. We visited the...

We are finally in Florida and already had a gator incident but in Georgia while canoeing in the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge. I don't like those critters. I was having little "anxiety" attacks and Tom kept reminding me I had boated on the rivers in Botswana with hippos and crocs and was...
