Day 716: October 21, 2025
ODO: 347,037 Two weeks of work pass with a little bit of adventure: The day is here, time to go home! And the best part, we are leaving at 11am instead of midnight! But that means we arrive at 5:30am local time, which will feel like 1:30am PST. Oh well. We have two very uneventful…

Rapa Nui Summary
We love, loved Rapa Nui. The people were so nice and helpful, and almost all local. There is a very different vibe here than other Polynesian islands; less laid back, less touristy, but still very proud. There was so much we didn’t understand about this place until we spent a week there. We left with…

Day 695: September 30, 2025
ODO: 346,683 Farm day 1: We are armed with vehicle extraction tools; hedge trimmer, shovel, clippers, and a few other things to attack the blackberries that are holding everything hostage. We battle them back to expose a 70 series Ford Bronco, Big Ugly, and a Suzuki Samurai. With the help of Blue Jeep and its…

Day 688: September 23, 2025
ODO: 346,683 The truck still isn’t ready. Another hotel day and night. Back to the mechanic the following morning, only to discover they still haven’t fixed the truck. There is a hitch in the gears, so Berne sends everything back across town (how many times is this now?!) for the gear guy to fix again…

Day 681: September 16, 2025
ODO: 346,605 Today is all about the relax. Frustration and disappointment are great at sapping your energy. Lots of short walks around the lake and napping happen. We get lots of pictures of the ducks and capybaras lounging in the grass. A nice German overlander spots us from the road and stops to chat. He…

Day 674: September 9, 2025
ODO: 346,240 We wake up to wind. Strong wind. It’s the only thing keeping the temperature bearable. We’re camped in a municipal park along the river with a lot of blue and yellow macaws hiding in the trees. Their signature move is to make a serious ruckus twice a day. All of our friend leave…

Day 667: September 2, 2025
ODO: 344,809 Our parts have arrived, so we are out of here! Pick up is smooth, just like last time. We haven’t been able to reach our mechanic yet, but we head over anyways. It takes a long time to get Berne across town to the gear guy, so long in fact, that its too…

Day 660: August 26, 2025
ODO: 343,101 We set up for a quiet week of anxiously waiting… On Wednesday we get the truck and camper back in order. Somewhat. We put away the tools we had out at the mechanic, and all of our things that needed to be Ubered back to us. We play with the dog, and Berne…

Day 653: August 19, 2025
ODO: 343,101 Finally, FINALLY, our parts have arrived!! We close up the tent and head into Asuncion. If all goes to plan we should be here for the day, two days tops. Parts pick us is a breeze, and just down the street from the mechanic. Perfect. Marco, the owner of the mechanic shop we…

Uruguay Summary
From our map, it’s pretty obvious we only crossed the border into Uruguay to be able to say we’ve been to Uruguay. There is so much of this country left to explore! We only ventured an hour from the border crossing. Overall the roads were great, and the people seemed very friendly. Days in Country:…
