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…

Day 632: July 29, 2025
ODO: 342,506 This campground is so nice and quiet that we continue enjoying our rest. But actively resting, we take a casual stroll around town, which takes us about fifteen minutes. There are three hot (warm) pools, one indoor, one outdoor, and one half and half. There is also a small block of stores, and…

Day 625: July 22, 2025
ODO: 341,850 Its pouring rain. Our ride is very punctual. The truck battery is dead when we arrive. Damnit. This is why we have the little jump box. We settle up. They don’t change us for electricity. We have nowhere to go, so we stay and take a nap in the truck, in the barn.…

Day 618: July 15, 2025
ODO: 341112 Three weeks of work, including two exciting client visits, in the bag! Besides work we: On Thursday, we clean our desks and hop a flight up to Portland to finish our work trip out with some vendor visits. Our house has new tenants in it, so we need to do a drive by,…

Day 596: June 24, 2025
ODO: 341,112 We should’ve done more stuff yesterday!! It’s hustle out of here time. Laundry needs to be dropped off for rush service due to another holiday on Friday. After days of rain, we finally get some sun, which brings out the mosquitos (winter mosquitos?!? Why???). Mud and mosquitoes are not ideal prep conditions, but…

Day 589: June 17, 2025
ODO: 341,040 Another day, another wintery beach (the things you get used to!). There are no coastal roads, so we drive back inland before heading back towards the ocean again. We see three armadillos (we’ll never get used to that)! It’s always windy in Argentina, today we get to drive straight into it. It’s a…

Day 582: June 10, 2025
ODO: 340,332 We need to do some real maintenance today, our wheel bearings need to be swapped out. It’s been on the list since leaving Bolivia, so Berne gets after it. KoKo is still pretty sick, so she spends the day in quarantine inside the camper. Last time we stayed in this campground, we had…

Day 575: June 3, 2025
ODO: 338,918 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…
