Adventures along the journey, thoughts, people and places. We'll send out an update once a month with the latest.
We installed new Aisin manual locking hubs because we wanted manual control for our journey. In our research, we saw that there have been some issues with the automatic OG hubs on the Delica breaking or disengaging at inopportune times. The auto hub removal and manual hub installation is very simple. Just unscrew the […]
In the high mountains of Big Bear, we found ourselves craving some sautéed asparagus. We found some organic asparagus at the local market and used ingredients from our camp kitchen to fill in the rest. This is a great side dish to add to any main course and is really simple to prepare. This […]
We arrived to La Punta, a small yet trendy beach town, just south of Puerto Escondido at the end of Playa Zicatela in the afternoon on New Years Eve 2018. The streets were bustling with people, cars, dogs, motos and venders. The heat was unrelenting. We found a nice quiet place to park near Cafe […]

We are modifying a 4×4 van to be as self-reliant as possible. It took us a while to decide on a Mitsubishi Delica […]

Hewitt is working with us to match it to the Turbo Boost gauge.) Installed the temperature […]

First, the […]

The trail winds through previously burned pine forests revealing large smooth boulders that dot the trail. We saw several mountain bikers and other hikers, but for the […]
