Fantastic, I love hearing more about him. Sad that his wife passed but great to see him continuing on as she wanted. Go Otto!!
A vehicle’s worth is not what you put into it, but what it put into you.

That just flat makes me smile! And brings a tear at the same time. Touching story.

This guy is my hero. It makes me wonder what I am really doing with my life. This guy is experiencing the world in a way that I currently only dream of.

Far better it is to dare mighty things...even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those timid spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat. - theodore roosevelt

I wonder how he funds his traveling lifestyle. I worked my way on my longest trip. One does need cash every once in a while even though a lot can be done with bartering. He said he refused a sponsor due to the conspicuous advertising sticker issue.

It is fab that he is continuing
I thought I read a few years ago they had stopped, and donated the G to Merc for their museum. I also thought there was a trip diary of some sort? Anyone know?
