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:…

Day 646: August 12, 2025
ODO: 343,090 Most of our week is spent online at work. It’s very rare that we have such a work heavy week outside of the office. We don’t get as much friend time as we would like, which is sad when Hanno and Anna leave us to continue their journey north. We do have a…

Day 639: August 5,2025
ODO: 343,007 Everyone wakes up with a tummy ache…Guess that fancy steak house was as good as it tasted. The plan was to be at the entrance to Iguazu Falls National Park at 8:00am when it opened. Our thinking was, since sunrise is at 7:30am, we may get to see some dawn-ish wildlife. Unfortunately, we…
