Layne is in the US and Rusty is with only half his family for now so he’s not totally happy. I am struggling to find a routine as I wait to hear good news about the transmission. So Team Lost has come off the rails a bit. But here is a young Czech couple who bought a van in Chile to go for a tour for a few months:
Another youngster or two. He’s from Oregon and she’s from Brazil and they are driving around in a van until they settle in her home country.
Rusty on an early morning walk past the Czech van. He doesn’t like to leave the campground much but he’ll occasionally walk a few blocks outside in the morning with me.
A diesel powered French Promaster with a family inside, parents and two youngsters around seven years of age or so. Witness the small people bicycles on the roof.
Europeans love their giant expedition trucks. I think they are more trouble than they are worth. You can buy a used one for the price of a van if you know where to look.
French couple and their dog. A bit too rambunctious for crusty Rusty.
A German dude with limited English, friendly though. His wife gets around nimbly on crutches. We’ve met overlanders in wheelchairs. Let nothing stop you.
26 year old Paul from France. Bought the car in Colombia and is tent camping around South America.
The car needed a water pump, spark plugs and an oil change. All done and off he went.
Germans traveling. I insist on getting photos to record our journey.
The French leaving. Adieu!
Hugh and Sue from Canada and their Land Rover Maple (mapleleafdrifters on Instagram). We met them in Nicaragua, this photo was in Panama and we said goodbye in Argentina. They are off to Europe and we miss them.
Layne sent me this picture of fun at the airport. She’s in North Carolina now eating Indian food with her sister.
We’re here.

Hang on...I'm on my way to keep you company!
How are Layne's peeps? I assume they got their little bridge rebuilt?
The car camper reminds me—there are a couple ppl on one of the van fora who are camping *in* their Yaris (planks laid across the folded seats for a bed); they call it the Yaris Micro Camper, or Yamper. Which I think is very funny. :D
They are well and doing graduating stuff. I hear no complaints about persistent hurricane damage but Asheville may just be toughing it out. There was a lot of damage.
I am thinking GANNET2 is about as small as I want get. After four years if doesn’t feel crowded or get junky in here. A small van or minivan might be too small for me.
I’m busy.
