By now, most of you know that the main purpose of our expedition is not only to educate ourselves, but those around us and inspire them to learn more about the world they live in. In the back of our minds, we have always wanted to have the expedition become a vehicle for education and […]

Steve, Duane and I just got back from a trip out to California to meet with some of our sponsors, get some new ones on board and meet with some interested media outlets. We flew out to San Diego and then made our way up to the Bay Area over the next week and finally […]
The Vehicle
September 21, 2006 – 7:46 pm
Obviously a trip around the world by road requires a dependable and durable vehicle. As we enter into our final negotiations with vehicle manufacturers and narrow it down to the final selection, we will have to make some difficult decisions. There are plenty of reliable vehicles out there and a wide variety have completed some […]

This past weekend, Steve, Duane, our roommate Mark, and myself headed west to Glennwood Springs to meet up with a friend to do some Ripboarding.

In the past week, I made some pretty big changes in my life, all in support of our upcoming expedition around the world.

If you didn’t notice the countdown timer on the homepage, we have roughly 123 days until our departure. I think we owe it to ourselves and to those who have been helping out to have a "100 Days To Go" bash so stay tuned. In the grand scheme of things, 123 days might as well […]

I am always looking into what other adventurers and people attempting the seemingly impossible are doing and from time to time, come across some great projects.

Shop has a great dog – Mogulee. She is not named after the character in the Jungle Book, but after a ski slope with lots of fun bumps in it. I have lived with Mogs for the last 7 years since she was a puppy and have helped to take care of her, so I […]
My Euro Trip: Black Forest and Cologne
July 25, 2006 – 5:59 pm
It was about a 8 hour train ride from Prague to Stuttgart which was our next destination. Again my dad had some business to attend to and I was not going to argue since that business was in the Black Forest retreat of Baden Baden. This was another resort town founded by the Romans centuries […]

After 10 days, my mom had enough of my Dad and I, so she headed back to the States. My Dad had planned on staying with me the remainder of my trip and we were getting along well enough and it was going to be good to spending some time with him. We had a […]
