Totally friggin' AWESOME! As I tell everyone I meet who is traveling or wants to travel through Latin America, Colombia is not to be missed! :victory:

Life here in Panama is going well.... We just had a big full moon party last night. Tracked down a piggie, that alone took us 2 days. Seems all the pigs were sold over the holidays. Any ways, found a pig, dug a pit and cooked it up Hawaiin style. It was a friend Peter & my first time but it...

Looks like you won't be making it Catalina after all....to bad I had hoped to share a few beers and chat. Safe journey if you are driving all the way back to the USA!

More from Bahia Honda and X-Mas day.... drying laundry Bahia Honda style! A police man calling home on X-Mas morning at Bahia Honda village Bahia Honda radio flyer! recycled trash.... I just got a call from a member of the Panama4x4 Club who just came into town. So logging...

at me casa.... my buddy Mike showing off his skills on the tube during our Rio Kate float....yes it dumped some serious rain on us! From Bahia Honda on X-mas day....Bahia Honda is an island north of Catalina. A local dive shop owner takes some 150 kids presents there, I got invited and it...

so....made some progress on resizing my pictures last night which allows me to upload them much faster. As a result here are more pictures! Not in any real paticular order..... Sunset on X-Mas day here in Santa Catalina,

unbelievably slow to upload pictures here.....so here is just a few. We took a river trip the other day down the Rio Kate;

see my above post; to add to this though....what I believe helped me last year with only a registration in hand was that I am from Wyoming. More than likely everyone at the borders I dealt with had never seen a truck from Wyoming. The last thing I have to add is I carry my registration...

I did the entire trip from USA to Panama & back (Mexico & every country in CA) last year on my registration. When asked for the title I simply provided my registration. The only place I had a problem with that was once again at El Amitillo. The problem arose when we were all set and ready to...

LOVE IT!! Totally friggin' awesome!! :Wow1:

You probily just past me by.... I am sitting right on the Pan Am in Santiago at a resturant having lunch and using the free wi-fi. I sent you a pm, sorry if it was not fast enough, I have not hit up the internet in 5 days and don't hit it up all that often. Check your pm's anyways.... PS...

ya, correction on my previous post.... I paid a bribe to get in to Panama last month. Hit the border at 3pm on a Sunday so paid a bribe for my dog, bank was closed.

Yup, all great advice and spot on. I also remove my hat. I do this not just at police/military check points or stops but at borders too. Note: I didn't pay a single bribe to any cops on my trip south last month, nor did I pay any on my trip north last March. The only border I paid any bribes...

My first time through the city (last March) I was super worried as I heard many bad rumors that Guatemala City is the worst city to navigate in CA. It is super easy actually with very well posted signs and nice roads. Many cities from the Mexican border to Panama are much worse....San Jose...

Be very careful at borders when using porters.... Guatemala does not require insurance. In CA, as far as I recall only Belize, Costa Rica and Panama require it. Yet, last year some friends of mine were robbed by the porters coming into Guatemala. The porters told them they needed insurance and...

I have not been to Copan myself yet but have heard great things about the place.... I myself do not like driving through Honduras much. The cops in Honduras to me are much worse than even the worst places in Mexico. So I have up to this point always decided the shortest route through Honduras...

enjoying the trip report....

Very good shop in Antigua across from the bus terminal. It is right next to a hardware store, I think south side of town. Dirt cheap and as I say very good mechanics. I saw a number of Patrols around town so more than likely a filter is also available there..... good luck! PS, spare room in my...

Thanks man, I am glad you noticed that I left out many things about our female clients. It was intentional. Some of the pictures I posted are theirs with their permission of course. But just as you state I purposely left out pictures focusing on them and or their details. ;) I completed...

Hola amigo!! Thanks for the offer, we may talk more in the future.... I was just in Panama City yesterday. Just a quick (17hr.) trip up there to pick up some guests for a friend of mine at the airport. My friend needed somebody to pick up 3 people at the airport and bring them back here to SC...
