Clouds Over Antigua by WideAngleWandering, on Flickr...

Well, there should be ... it's been a helluva a ride.

For the moment, you can watch the goofy timelapse driving videos I've been putting up on Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/wideanglewandering/videos

Thanks for the inspiration. Planning my move from Guatemala into El Salvador now.

I have a CPR mask but that's it. As far as airway management, I've always been taught (or at least all I remember is) to maintain spinal alignment and perhaps rotate the victim to their side to let...

Having read the Outward Bound guide, which highly emphasizes monitoring vital signs to guide evacuation decisions, I can see the value but for my purposes, I'd probably rely on my fingers. Perhaps...

A lot of people talk about the human element to border control and bureacracy with great disdain. They...

I continue to be lazy / behind on blog posts. I did, however, talk on this podcast thingy about my experience roadtripping.

I am way behind on updates. In the meantime, here's a link to a photo essay I put together for World Travel Buzz.

They make pivots for swingout bumpers but I don't know where to find such a thing in Guatemala. I think you could get something fabbed up at a workshop. Look for a soldadura (welding) shop...

If you're heading towards Antigua, drop me a line. I'm currently lingering here myself and This European Life just rolled into town yesterday.

I'm trying to answer that question myself. If you find yourself in southern Guatemala or El Salvador (my two likely locations) drop me a line. Maybe we can have an expo get-together.

I highly recommend talking to the folks on bajanomad - they are a cranky bunch at times but they know all the hidden spots.

I'd love to be proven wrong but I really don't think this is true anymore. So much of the beach access near San Felipe is privately owned and developed. People build simple palapas that used to...

You certainly can but there are two factors to consider:
* traction
* gearing

For the kind of driving/exploring that I do, I need low range gearing more than I need traction. Hell, I've used...

You should talk to the folks on bajanomad.com - they can offer lots of personal experience.

You don't need to import the vehicle if you're staying in Baja but you might want a notarized letter...

Excellent. I haven't met many overlanders - keep in touch.
