In the United States, you may not have heard about the driving the “Cape to Cape” run . I guess there may be some scenic drives or highways that go from Cape A to Cape B, but the Cape run I am talking about is the drive from North Cape, Norway to Cape Agulhas, South […]

New Photos – Nouakchott, Mauritania
July 10, 2008 – 3:33 pm
The capital of Mauritania is a very poor place. Most people don’t even have homes and many of the inhabitants of the country are nomads. We took many photos in the surrounding area and it is easy to see that this is near the top of the list for poorest countries in the world. Speaking […]
End of The Line
July 2, 2008 – 6:48 am
For Africa that is. That’s right, we made it all the way to South Africa. We have a few more days before we arrive in Cape Town and hopefully ship the trucks to Argentina on the 6th of July, so we are taking in some of the sights on the Garden Route. It has been […]

Quick Update
June 9, 2008 – 10:55 am
This update is gong to have to be quick because internet is slow and expensive here in the DRC. That’s right, we finally made it out of one Congo and into well, another Congo. We have had a tremendous amount of help and support from people here and back home, but our progress is due […]
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 […]
The Challenge of the Week: Finishing Africa
May 17, 2008 – 5:08 am
Surprise, we are still in Pointe Noire, Congo. We were originally planning on passing through the Congo on our way south in only two days but the powers that be decided that we needed to spend a little bit more time here. One month to be exact. We have been here for so long, I […]
The Twilight Zone
May 12, 2008 – 8:40 am
I don’t know what time it is. I don’t know what day it is. I don’t know what month it is. Luckily someone reminded me that it was Mother’s Day so fortunately, I did not let that slip by without letting my Mom know that I am still alive… where, I don’t really know. TWBR […]
Gone Fishing…
May 5, 2008 – 8:15 am
We have been waiting for word on our Angolan visas now for nearly two weeks. That fact that this past Thursday, May 1st was May Day, or International Workers Day did not help our situation in the least bit. May Day is celebrated throughout the world, except in the United States where we honor workers […]
What Is Wrong With People?
May 3, 2008 – 1:46 pm
Sitting here in Pointe Noire, Congo, I am starting to go a little crazy. It has been nearly two weeks since we arrived and applied for our Angola visas and we are still waiting. I have been trying to pass the time by reading and reflecting upon the Africa segment of our journey and given […]
