Great reporting, Dan. It is nice to see how at-ease you are with the trip and the challenges, and how much that enables your enjoyment of it. Your Deadhorse to Ushuaia trip prepared you well for this adventure, I think.

Carry on!

Absolutely. A couple of these borders I have been thinking to myself it would be a thousand times harder if I didn't have that experience behind me.

I have driven into Guinea, African country number 6 !

I'm excited to see mountains right off the bat. This is going to be great!

Hey All,

I'm exploring the North of Guinea and absolutely loving it.

Small jungle tracks that lead to massive waterfalls are becoming my favorite thing!

The hiking in Guinea is blowing my mind!!

Why did nobody ever tell me about it? How have I never seen pictures before?

Oh yeah, it's because there are virtually ZERO tourists in Guinea!

Which way do you guys think I should go next? North to Mali, or continue around the coast to Sierra Leon?
I'm on the fence.

We're really enjoying your posts. I'm wondering if there are any items or mods to the jeep that you now realize that you do not need or items/mods that you now wish you had?
Thanks Dan, and safe travels.
