    Default Found in Wal-Mart, Whitehorse Yukon

    Here is another unique vehicle I found in the Wal-Mart parking lot in Whitehorse, Yukon.

    Thanks,

    I talked to him a couple of times, he spent most of the summer in Alaska. For a while he was travelling with a couple in a black 406 who had been on the road for "9 years".

    The black Unimog is actually 416 and the German couple just sold it to Mike and Melissa in Canada:

    Here is sort of the latest, as of the 14th, Klaus and Sonja were in Calgary. They have 3 weeks to make it to Nova Scotia where they are booked onto a RoRo back to Germany. There they will spend a year rebuilding their truck, then they are off to Africa after the rebuild.

    What the heck do these people do for a living to afford toys and travel like this?! I'm doing something wrong.

    They have been traveling since '94, if I remember right. If you go to their site you'll see how they pay the bills. They put on talks, showing their travels, and they publish a little, as well as write the odd article for a travel mag. Thats it, and traveling on the cheap doing what they like. They are in Germany now for the next year, going over the truck, then back to Africia.
