Any more updates on this? I also have a friend who started a trip from SLC over a year ago, and he's going from Alaska to Argentina.

Cool. I'll check out your site.
My friend started out on a 96 4Runner. He drove it up to Alaska from SLC and started down. But he wrecked the 4Runner, which put things on halt for a bit. Now, he's in a Tahoe, and he's in Iowa or something like that. Here is his website:

I'm sure he'd love to talk to you about your ventures.

Expedition Americas stickers/support
So this is long overdue (sorry dmc) but I was given the honor of being Dave's official Expedition Americas sticker/support manager.
I have a limited amount of Expedition Americas Logo Stickers (around 65 at this writing). The stickers are professional quality, die cut, measuring approx. 6 inches tall x 5 inches wide. The price of the sticker is based on the production cost and includes a little extra to buy Dave some petrol, help pay for $$$hipping his truck, a taco or two, a bribe to cross a border, etc.
The stickers are $10 each, minimum. Feel free to pay more for them if you would like to support Dave beyond that. It will be greatly appreciated.
Sticker payment and support funds can be PayPal'd to dave@expeditionamericas.com. I will promptly mail the stickers out to you.
Dave also has a cafepress site with logowear.
And don't forget to sign up for Dave's Expedition Americas blog so that you can follow his journey and adventure.

Congrats on your trip & glad to see everything is going smoothly! We are doing the same thing this fall (first to Alaska, then down)
Hey, i may be missing something, but what is with the SPOT transmitter? Is it some sort of safety device that lets you report from the road?? That's awesome; we have been pounding our heads trying to find a way to keep concerned people at home up to date with our progress (beyond blogs, etc.)
Again, best of wishes and don't forget to keep up with the information on the road. At the start of this thread you were asking for info, now you're the guy we are gonna be asking lol.

gosh time flies!! I can't believe you are already in Columbia, and that Mike and Melissa are leaving in less than a year. I remember reading the initial postings last week...
