Peru – Land of the Incas
Up and on the road the next morning we quickly approached the Ecuadorian side of the border, turned in our paperwork, got our passports stamped out and jumped back in the truck. A few miles further the large Peruvian tourism logo greeted us. Welcome ...

Day One, Phase Three – Mexico!
OK, for all the family and friends that were worried – you can take at least one breath as we are fine. Getting into Mexico through the new border crossing just south of Mission TX was a good experience for Gaila and I. Not only did we not have to de...

Bumpy flats
Camped sandwiched on the “Plain of Peace” between the Cordillera Domeyko and Cordillera de la Sal, we had another supremely peaceful night. At least we did once the wind died down, which it did around 2.00 am.
So much of the Atacama is wit...
Lizards, Salt, Flamingoes, San Pedro (again)
Paul did a diesel calculation this morning. Due to the particularly poor condition of the road (track) from Peine to where we camped, and no certainty of it improving much before we reach Laguna Miscanti, and no fuel stations before San Pedro de ...

It’s just the way it rolls off your tongue! Guadalajara! Guadalajara ! Guadalajara!
I practiced saying it over a hundred times, in many different accents and tones, and still couldn’t get enough of the way I loved hearing the name of the next city that we were approaching. ”Scott” I would call over the radio. “Guadalajara is only on...
