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 […]

What is going on at TWBR?
June 16, 2008 – 3:14 pm
This post will remain at the top of the blog for the next couple of weeks, but to read the most recent posts, please just scroll down. So the site says that I am in Denver, the trucks and rest of the crew are somewhere in Angola and blogs and content are sparse. For over […]
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 […]

May 17, 2008 – 5:08 am

Africa has been rough on both the trucks and the drivers here at The World by Road, but the wheels keep turning and the gas tab keeps adding up. Here are the most recent fuel prices, and distances covered. http://theworldbyroad.com/wordpress/mileage-fuel-consumption-and-cost
This One Takes The Cake
April 9, 2008 – 12:49 pm
We have covered a lot of miles on The World by Road and the terrain we have driven is as diverse as the countries we have passed through. Obviously, the road can get pretty bad from time to time and it always leads to the same question: Is this the worst road we have been […]
