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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Sand, Sand, And More Sand
March 8, 2008 – 6:32 am
What else would you expect when you are in the middle of the Sahara Desert? All of us knew that we would encounter lots of sand as we drove through the western part of the Sahara on our way across Mauritania, but I do not think any of us would realize just how much sand […]

We are nearly finished with our European leg of the expedition and are currently in Spain. After a quick jaunt over to Portugal, we will be entering another new continent. We had an amazing time in Europe and will miss all of the new friends that we made very much. One thing we will not […]
TWBR Update
January 30, 2008 – 4:40 pm
Just when we think we are getting caught up again, we realize that it has been a while since we have updated everyone on what we have been up to. The whirlwind through Europe continues. After an all out race to make the Newcastle ferry from Bergen, Norway (the ferry actually waited for us and […]
Hello From the top of the World
January 4, 2008 – 7:23 pm
Hello everyone! I hope the new year is treating all of you great. It is really hard to imagine that it is 2008 and Steve and I have been on the road for nearly a year now. Over the course of that year, we have covered nearly 28,000 miles and passed through many different countries. […]
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 […]
