2 Adults, 5 Kids, Every Country in North and South America in a Veggie Powered F250

**discovershare** · 10-01-2011, 09:00 PM

Our family of seven left Alaska in April 2011 in our modified Ford F250 that's been converted to run on vegetable oil. We'll drive to Ushuaia Argentina, visiting every country in North and South America. We expect to take 2-3 years for this trip.

We'll be crossing into Mexico this month (Oct 2011) through Texas.

Our websites share our family overland travel adventures, and inspire others to design the lifestyle of their dreams.

That definitely sounds like an adventure. Are you taking any tools with you or spare parts in case you break down?

Cruised around your web site a little. Some truly inspiring stuff on there...

Good luck on your travels.

Great to meet you all at our shop in Prescott last week. Stop by if you pass our way on your journey back from Snowflake. Be glad to help you out with your spot lights and see if we have more goodies for you.

P.S. best behaved kids we'd had at the shop in a long time.

Yes on both counts, plus my husbands amazing MacGyver skills

Thanks Martyn! It was really great to meet you and see all of the cool gear you have there. Loved it!! Thanks for the lights too.

I'll talk to Greg and see if we want to head that way again.

We embarked on this amazing hike in Capitol Reef National Park, that resulted in an extreme test of our endurance!

It was great though, because these are the types of experiences that don't occur while vegetating in your 'own little corner of the earth.' But they're the type of experiences that cause personal growth and build character. And that's what we're after.

You can read the story and see videos here.
