Held Hostage by Argentinean Customs!
August 30, 2008 – 9:59 am
Who would have thought that of all the countries we have been to on this trip, Argentina would end up becoming such a nightmare in terms of having to deal with customs. The trucks finally arrived last Tuesday, already a week late, but they are currently being held by Argentina customs officials for a reason […]
Mounting Frustration
August 25, 2008 – 11:43 am
I know, I know, everyone is aware that shipping the trucks overseas is a royal pain in the ass, but it is time to vent once again. I am not really going to hold anything against Mediterranean Shipping Company, even though they have pushed back the estimated arrival of the ship on three separate occasions […]
New Photos – The Hurtigruten and the Mad Race from the North
July 22, 2008 – 6:11 am
In 1893, the crazy Norwegians living in the north of their country were mostly cut off from the outside world.

New Photos: From Denmark to the Ice Hotel
June 17, 2008 – 6:40 pm
Of the many options with the expensive prices of gas in Europe, we opted for the route towards North Cape starting on a ferry from Germany to Denmark, followed by a series of bridges to get to Sweden. The dash up to the Ice Hotel led us across the Arctic Circle and introduced all of […]
One Wild Road
May 26, 2008 – 9:45 am
I am sure you have probably all been wondering what the hell has been going on with the expedition. Well, the quick and dirty answer is twofold: a lot and not much. In the last five and a half weeks we have managed to drive a grand total of about 360 kilometers. We were stuck […]
Playing The Waiting Game
April 30, 2008 – 4:10 am
We have been here in Pointe Noire, Congo for over a week now. Just what are we doing here you might ask? Well, we are playing the waiting game. We are waiting for our visas to Angola, the link in the chain that currently separates us here in Central Africa with our rendezvous the south. […]
