    Colombia Summary

    Colombia was incredible! The scale of the mountains is ridiculous, but they are the Andes…There was good food, and nice people. We made several new friends, which was great, and there were way too many cops. We’re excited to see places we missed on our way back! Days in Country: 29 not including the time…

  • Day 456: February 4, 2025

    ODO: 333,045 It is so, so cold in the canyon shade this morning. We are all very slow getting moving, like the poor lizards that live in this windy, shady rock ditch. There is rumor of a geothermal area nearby, so of course we need to find it. The area is a small, very colorful…

    Day 449: January 28, 2025

    ODO: 330,562 Can you believe it?! We wake up RIGHT NEXT TO Gato de Nazca!! This is a weird Nazca line because it doesn’t match the style of anything else. But there are several styles of lines and pictures around here, so maybe it makes sense after all? We need to do a little bit…

    Day 442: January 21, 2025

    ODO: 329,015 There are a few more work days before we can continue. After one, we check into our second Lima hotel: The JW Marriott. This is our go to hotel when we have things shipped to us, and we are currently waiting on brake pads and wiper blades. Our hotel status gets us upgraded…

    Day 435: January 14,2025

    ODO: 328,701 The other day KoKo’s window started to act up. This is not surprising since she opens and closes it a hundred times a day to take pictures. We pour a lot of water on and in it, turns out it was just incredible dirty, and had a lot of mud inside to door!…

    Day 428: January 7, 2025

    ODO: 328,304 Its day #2 on the 3N. This road is all adventure. We go from 9100ft to 7100ft and back again, with a river crossing in the middle. We get turned around by a bridge that’s out. We battle the mud, the fog, the elevation, motorcycles with no headlights. Twists, and turns, and lots…

    Day 421: December 31, 2024

    ODO: 327,492 Our day starts with a 9000ft high farewell to our new friends. They are headed into Quito to run errands and we are headed for the equator on our way to Cotopaxi. The equator is very quiet when we arrive. A very bored looking attendant really wants to give us a tour, but…

    Day 414: December 24, 2024

    ODO: 326,291 Great news! Our insurance is ready a day earlier than planned, so after a half day of work we excitedly head back to Araucana Lodge to reunite with our house. We arrive in time for a delicious dinner with our friend’s father. He’s a character. And apple pie for dessert?! Yup, very delicious…

    Day 407: December 17, 2024

    ODO: 325,755 After two weeks of work, it’s time to start the journey back to our real life. But first! Our favorite, a quick stop over in Medford for the weekend. We pack up, say our goodbyes and catch an Uber to the airport. This turns out to be the scariest Uber ride ever. The…

    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,…
