Day 359: October 29, 2024
ODO: 324,010 Now that we’ve gotten all the administration and paperwork handled we get to rest until container day. Which is only two days away. And really we still need to clean and organize the truck and the camper, and pack for ten days of travel that will include southern Oregon, the Bay Area and…

Day 352: October 22, 2024
ODO: 323,993 Five hours to Panama City with forty eight hours to make it happen. Our police inspection is at 7am on Friday, and we can’t be late. We make it out to the Pacific again, finding a sleepy town with a sleepier hotel right on the water. The hotel says they’re pretty slow right…

Day 345 October 15, 2024
ODO: 323,410 Today we’re in the capital trying up some loose ends before we leave Honduras. Our list is short, but errands take three times as long down here. First stop, yarn. Google leads us into a very crowded market area where the rules of the road do not exist. Luckily all of our potential…

Guatemala Summary
WE LOVE GUATEMALA!! Maybe because we spent so much time here, maybe because its full of nice people, amazing landscapes and fantastic food.

Day 338: October 8, 2024
ODO: 322,303 First order of business today: find chainsaw fuel line so we can stop the diesel leak. As luck would have it, there is a Stihl dealer in Santa Ana willing to sell us 6ft of fuel line. Starting the day off with a win. Next up, find yarn. We think we have a…

Day 331: October 1, 2024
ODO: 321,298 Today we cross all our fingers, wear our lucky earrings and try to stay calm. It’s time to check with the post office and see if we can’t learn more about the whereabouts of our parts. We have decided if they don’t arrive by Friday, we cant wait for them any longer because…

Day 324: September 24, 2024
ODO: 321,045 We pack up and head ten minutes down the road to Semuc Champey. This place is wild. The vendors in the parking lot are very aggressive trying to sell us water and guide services. It’s a little overwhelming. Once we pay our entrance fee and get down the path things quiet down. The…

Day 317: September 17, 2024
ODO: 320,405 There are several small to medium sized towns around the lake with the fastest access to each being water taxi. They’re actually more like water busses. You wave them down from your dock, hop on and tell the driver where you want to get off. And then you hang on! They rage across…

Day 310: September 10, 2024
ODO: 320,119 When we arrived on the volcano Berne’s tummy had been unhappy, and it stayed that way for a couple of days delaying our hike. Tummy troubles are not something you want to bring on an unknown quantity difficult hike. Instead we settled in. This was a nice opportunity to acclimate to the altitude,…

Day 303: September 3, 2024
ODO: 319,972 Our final office day! Such a short time in the Bay. After a fun dinner with our work friends we head to the airport to wait for our 5am flight (who booked these flights?!). We have some time before security opens, so we find a place to relax, and maybe take a quick…
