Day 596: June 24, 2025
ODO: 341,112 We should’ve done more stuff yesterday!! It’s hustle out of here time. Laundry needs to be dropped off for rush service due to another holiday on Friday. After days of rain, we finally get some sun, which brings out the mosquitos (winter mosquitos?!? Why???). Mud and mosquitoes are not ideal prep conditions, but…

Day 589: June 17, 2025
ODO: 341,040 Another day, another wintery beach (the things you get used to!). There are no coastal roads, so we drive back inland before heading back towards the ocean again. We see three armadillos (we’ll never get used to that)! It’s always windy in Argentina, today we get to drive straight into it. It’s a…

Day 582: June 10, 2025
ODO: 340,332 We need to do some real maintenance today, our wheel bearings need to be swapped out. It’s been on the list since leaving Bolivia, so Berne gets after it. KoKo is still pretty sick, so she spends the day in quarantine inside the camper. Last time we stayed in this campground, we had…

Day 575: June 3, 2025
ODO: 338,918 The day starts with a long overdue oil change, and a little planning. We have another trip home on the books for mid June, and we don’t know where we’re going to fly there from yet. In the meantime, there is a mountain lake, and maybe hot springs, with our name on it.…

Day 568: May 27, 2025
ODO: 338,547 The water has stopped. Water, specifically hot water on demand, is the one thing this campground has going for it. There have been unusually heavy rains lately, that have washed too much sediment into the reservoir. Heavy equipment has already been dispatched, we are not the only ones going without right now. The…

Day 561: May 20, 2025
ODO: 338,492 We spend another week in the same place. We’re never done this before, stayed put for so long. Luckily we have some projects to get after: After all these projects, and a couple lazy days, it’s Santiago exploration time. Being so settled in, it takes us until late afternoon to pack up. Downtown…

Day 547: May 6, 2025
ODO: 338,426 IT’S FINALLY HERE!!! TIME TO GO HOME!!! After having to reschedule our flight three times, we finally get to board a plane back to our real life. So much relief! And a little extra bonus fun this travel day: We signed up for a United Club Card, which gets us United lounge access.…

Peru Summary
This country is insanely steep! Every mountain has a road up and over it, which is both convenient and terrifying. This is where food started to be tasty again, and the people are were mostly very nice and helpful. This is also where wild camping felt safe again. There is so much to see here…

Bolivia Summary
We really only did two things in Bolivia, but they were so incredible that Bolivia became our new favorite country. The landscape is so indescribable, everything is so vast and grand, and the base elevation is WAY too high. We tried to stay extremely remote, so we weren’t really exposed to the economic crisis. Days…

Day 519: April 8, 2025
ODO: 338,352 Today is for relaxing. And doing laundry. And more relaxing. And packing. Our flight leaves at 1am….Because that is the only flight time left when you book less than a week in advance, and you refuse to take anything but the shortest flight. Which is twenty hours of travel time…Our Uber to the…
