Day 575: June 3, 2025
ODO: 3338,918 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.

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…

Day 512: April 1, 2025
ODO: 338,352 We wake up to drama and confusion. Our host wants everyone gone. Today. The earlier the better. This is tricky for us because the front end of the truck is in pieces, and now it’s a mad dash to get it back together, all the tools put away, and everything else packed up.…

Day 505: March 25, 2025
ODO: 338,111 The day starts with dogs barking, and birds screaming, and beautiful weather. We’ve been missing the consistent lovely weather, so it’s exciting every time. There is a volcano across the lake, so we choose the scenic route towards it. Unfortunately by the time we get close, a cloud has covered most of it.…
