Day 842: February 24, 2026
ODO: 359,147 We are in a bad way this morning…so much…dehydration. We drag ourselves into the pool, and watch a ton of monkeys frolicking across the canopy. The majority of our recovery is spent back and forth between the pool and the truck, waiting for the shadows to provide enough cover for the tent to…

Day 835: February 17, 2025
ODO: 358,343 No one slept well last night. Going east by five hours is tough. The final four hour drive back to Rio is a slog. The rear end is angry and loud today. We break up the drive with a stop at a Graal, the Brazilian version of Buckey’s. It’s a absolutely insane rest…

Day 828: February 10, 2026
ODO: 358,186 We have a weekend in the middle of our work trip where we visit the San Francisco zoo, to play with the new camera lenses we bought. KoKo is now irrationally obsessed with giraffes. Our favorite activity, Friend Dinner, takes place at a Mexican restaurant (OMG, we’ve missed Mexican food!) to round out…

Paraguay Summary
Paraguay was a hard country…not because it was terrible, but because we were trapped there waiting for parts the entire time, both times we were there. We came here because we broke down in Argentina, and it would’ve been terrible expensive to get help there, so we left. Days in Country: 38 Miles Driven: 1112…

Day 814: January 27, 2026
ODO: 357,851 For the fist time in a long time, it is a delightful temperature outside. In fact, it’s borderline chilly! Last night we even used our lightweight blanket, and neither of us has sweat through our clothes in the last twenty four hours. We’re comfortable. Today is the day we start the long flight…

Day 807: January 20, 2026
ODO: 357,851 A quick morning walk is how we start our day before packing and moving on. We are six days out from our flight to the US, so we are all driving all the time. But first! We Need to fix the misfire. Because the hotel parking lot didnt work out, we head for…

Day 800: January 13,2025
ODO: 356,372 Oooooo wee, we wake up slow. Today’s adventure is to drive to a coastal town known for its snorkeling, so fingers crossed. Once we arrive in the town, we know this place is not for us. The vibe is really weird, there is no beach, and everything feels sketchy. After doing a quick…

Day 793: January 6, 2026
ODO: 355,757 New Year’s Eve day, and time to head to the right Jericoacoara. We take the sand road in from the east. It’s a road marked out along the beach, so timing the tides is important. Half way down the road, the driver side shock starts screaming again. With nothing to be done about…

Day 786: December 30, 2025
ODO: 354992 Ahhh, another lovely day on the Amazonia IV. We’re in a smaller channel of the Amazon river as we cut across to Belem. Originally we were concerned the boat might head out into the ocean to reach our destination, so this is a welcome discovery. Our trip has been entirely unplugged, which we…

Day 779: December 23, 2025
ODO: 354,067 Why are we in a major city in the middle of the Amazon jungle? Berne saw it on the map, did some research and found out it’s a very major city that is very difficult to get to. So here we are, recovering from multiple, long days of hard driving. It took us…
