Adventures along the journey, thoughts, people and places. We'll send out an update once a month with the latest.
Crater Rim Traverse A sleeping giant just outside Mexico City Views of the glacier lakes on the crater at Nevado de Toluca Before this trip, we never knew that Mexico has such stunning high altitude climbs. Whenever, we thought of Mexico images of beaches, palm trees, tacos and margaritas popped naivelyinto our minds. We quickly […]
Who doesn’t want to take a hot shower after a long day on the trail or playing in the ocean? Hot water that used the same fuel as our van, diesel in this case, is why we chose to go with the Espar Hydronic D5E heater. We also loved that we could heat the interior […]
