Wonderful people and full of great stories. Graham Jackson spotted them in Prescott on his way to the office. We ended up spending the day with them. Johan also provided a huge file of waypoints from South America.

They needed water and WiFi, so we took them to the house for a top-off and then to lunch and then to a great campsite.

Southern Utah is next. They have been traveling around the world for eight years now.

Very nice people.

8 YEARS?

Are they collecting their experiences on a website or book? They must have an incredible number of adventures to share!

Looks like the de Koes met Mike Van Pelt of Global Expedition Vehicles, Inc. in Chile.

From the photos it appears they shipped their vehicle from Europe to Buenos Aires. To get to North America I'd guess that they shipped from Ecuador (possibly Colombia) to Houston.
