Happy Overlanders sharing stories

Hey, after one of my presentations at this years EXPO I sat talking with this guy for awhile. He was telling me he was planning an extended motorcycle trip but he told me he was wanting to head down into South America.

I brought him over to where Travis was set-up because I had remembered reading where Travis was looking for someone to ride with him for sections of the adventure.

What a very small world it is!! Glad to see he's on his journey and meeting up with fellow Overlanders!! Cheers and I'll toast one to all of you!

Good to see y'all are on the road. Stay safe out there and post as many pics as possible!

Thanks for all the good wishes. We are now in Haines, it was Tom's decision to come here, and it was great decision as we were treated to a mother grizzly and 3 cubs playing on the banks of the river side.

We drove from Haines Junction to Haines and past through some spectacular scenery.


We also heard from Shawn on the motor bike and he is doing great we are hoping to meet up with him again today. We met some fellow overlanders in Haines who have just spent 2 years traveling up from South America and they advised us to get a carnet. Still an ongoing debate about what to do about that I guess.
We are enjoying sunshine and warm weather and are taking the ferry to Skagway tonight
Travel safe everyone

Excellent start to your journey. Please let me know if you have any questions concerning Mexico or Central America, as I completed that journey last Spring.

My #1 recommendation- Avoid Mexico City (trust me, and a growing group of others who have been extorted there recently). The rest of the trip will be wonderful no doubt.

Thanks Scott we will contact you the closer we get to Mexico and Central America.

We enjoyed Skagway Soapy Smith, Ham Grease Jimmy, Paddy the Pig, Big Bo Peep, Gumboot Kitty, Big Bess, Guzzling Gertie, Burn-‘Em-Up Kid, these were some of the characters that roamed the streets of Skagway in 1898. Skagway was a rough and tough town during the gold rush to the Klondike. In search of dreams of gold and riches, thousands of fortune seekers made their way to Skagway on route to Dawson City. See our website for updates too much to write here.
We wanted to drive south on the Cassiar road through central BC but it was closed because of forest fires. So we are back on the Alaska Highway heading towards Alberta

Thanks for posting about your trip. I am now subscribed. While in Skagway did you go on the White Pass and Yukon Railway? It is pretty spectacular.

Thanks for posting up your pictures. Almost like another galaxy when you live as far south as me! Shame about the Cassier being closed. Maybe next time huh? If you make it to NZ give me a shout!

I was woken by the alarm clock. Tom has a thing about time, it is his German heritage, in fact I think we have more clocks and watches in this camper than we do cups and plates!!! We crossed into a new time zone yesterday and Tom slammed on brakes …read more http://www.adventurouspirits.com/

We are heading south to Dawson Creek, this morning we watched 2 families pack a total of 15 people (11 children) into 2 trucks and towing campers. They were all having a blast. A reminder that even with children travel is possible
