I hope everyone is having a great holiday season and is looking forward to the new year. You are probably aware that our website was down for several days… the main server in Florida has some issues, so sorry for keeping everyone in the dark but we think the problem has been fixed. Speaking of […]

Goodbye Blue Tarp
December 30, 2007 – 5:26 am
As most of you are all aware, someone broke into the Sequoia in Kazakhstan and robbed us and in the process of the robbery, the rear passenger window was completely shattered. Since the break-in, we have been using a blue plastic tarp as a make-shift window and have been dealing with the added cold, noise […]
Time for An Update
December 19, 2007 – 7:24 am
I know it has been a while since a real update and everyone is just dying to know what has been going on here at TWBR. We are currently in Budapest, Hungary and leave tomorrow for Prague via Bratislava. It has been an interesting, hectic and cold couple of weeks and a lot has taken […]
Africa Got Me Crazy
December 11, 2007 – 4:26 am
I think I am starting to loose my mind. How do I know this? Well, every time a new curveball is thrown our way in terms of our route through Africa, I just laugh. It is almost like I expect something to go wrong. After dealing with getting ourselves and our trucks through China, I […]

Out of Asia
November 18, 2007 – 3:15 am
We are nearing our end in Asia. From Indonesia to Russia we went spanned the continent South to North. From China to Turkey we will have made the passage from East to West. In covering this vast continent, we have encountered bandits, sand storms, snow storms, bears, foxes, cobras, camels, and countless geographical challenges. We […]
Fuel costs and more
November 10, 2007 – 10:52 pm
Earlier on Steve Bouey put together statistics about our fuel consumption and the cost of fuel in various countries. We have recently turned this into a static page on the site so that it is easily accessible to all of those adventurers out there that could use it. Soon we will be putting together even […]
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
November 6, 2007 – 4:05 am
We cannot thank all of you enough for your continued support of the expedition. Visas, fuel, accommodation and just about everything else are extremely expensive here in Central Asia. In fact, we were recently charged and extra $50 “rush fee” for our Uzbek visas. Apparently, it was a rush because we were early for our […]
Quick Update
November 5, 2007 – 4:55 am
Hello everybody! Sorry for the lack of communication or blog entries, but things are a little tougher than we expected here in Central Asia. Currently, we are in Toshkent, Uzbekistan having made it safely across the border from Osh, Kyrgyzstan without any problems… although we did have some leftover fireworks from China in the Thundra […]
Update From the “Stans”
October 30, 2007 – 12:08 am
Hello everyone. In-between trying to figure out visas for the rest of the Central Asia countries we are attempting to cross, still taking account for what exactly got stolen from us in Almaty and meeting some new friends, I thought I would give everyone a quick update. We are currently in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan and we […]
