Day 394: December 3, 2024
ODO: 325,755 The power of staying in a hotel has KoKo feeling significantly better. Which is good because we have plans this morning. A friend from home has introduced us to his friend that lives down here, so we’re off to meet a stranger in the mountains. He is the owner of a birding lodge,…

Day 387: November 26, 2024
ODO: 325,738 The day we have been exited about and nervous about for a little while has arrived: Puente Negro day. This is a bridge made famous by Top Gear, so we really have no idea what to expect. Will it be as sketchy as it looked on TV or will it be all hype?…

Day 380: November 19, 2024
ODO: 324,638 It’s our first day at the Port, day two of free the truck from the port. We have no idea what to expect, but we’re already too hot in pants at 8:30am. It turns out that only one person is allowed inside, so KoKo gets comfortable in the air conditioning while Berne gets…

Day 373, November 12, 2024
ODO: 324,010 It happened!! We have officially been on the road for a whole year! The timing of this anniversary is a little odd because we are back in California for work and a very contentious election just wrapped, something we were very excited to not be in America for. We order in a nice…

Central America Adventure
Because we spent so long in Guatemala waiting for parts, and then puled forward our shipping date, the rest of our Central America adventure had to be completed in 27 days. This is less time than we spent in Guatemala total, but we are making the most out of all of it! Ok, let’s get…

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. We had a great time here, and would absolutely come back to vacation here. Ok, let’s get into the stats! Days in Country: 38, but should’ve been way less Miles Driven: 1804 Nights spent…

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…
